"Dave showed up when he said, completed all of the work as promised and even better than promised. The crew was professional, and always thorough. I hired him again after the first job for another roof repair, and my son will be hiring him after seeing the work he did. This is the company to go to."

"Carl does excellent work and is dependable. I bought a barn style door years ago. He built cabinets to match it perfectly. I had idea for layout and shelves and Carl made suggestions that were respectful of my vision while making it practical and functional. I'm very happy with the custom cabinets and shelving but my favorite part might be the brick and slate flooring. I wanted a complex pattern that he hadn't done before; Carl researched it and produced a perfect herringbone pattern."

Customers say: Quality work

"I relocated here from Florida. I call many companies for lawn care and only a few for back to me. Jonathan who I spoke with this morning not only called me back quickly, but within an hour of his call he came out and gave an estimate, signed me up for bi-weekly lawn care and sent his crew out TODAY (same day) to do the work. They did a very nice job and were fast and efficient. I am happy with the lawn and the quality, but the customer service sets them apart. I highly recommend Appalachian Lawn Care and Snow Removal. They are on their A game!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
