"Working with Scott has been the most positive experience I have had in my 50+ years of home ownership. He not only installed exterior siding on our current home, he and his most competent daughter painted the inside of our house in such a thorough, careful manner. The work he has done for us is extraordinary. His businesslike, yet friendly relationship with us made completion of the projects a pleasure. He was prompt and reliable in every way. He let us know in advance of work he could not do and helped us find solutions. To top it off his prices are most reasonable for the high quality of work and the high quality of products he uses. I only hope he remains in business as long as I am a home owner. He is out "go to guy" from now on."

"I had some dry rot damage on the exterior boards between my windows on the front of my house due to gutters that I had ignored far too long. I contacted Bowen Construction and Robert came out right away inspected the damage, knew what needed to be done and gave me a reasonable estimate. He and his crew came out at the agreed upon date and time installed guards on the gutters and replaced all water damaged boards. It looks great and it’s nice to know it’s done. Also: they were good about keeping in touch with you as to their eta (mine was a 2 day job), they were good about cleaning up when they left and they stayed well within the estimate. I would definitely hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
