"I contacted Wolverine Custom Painting in the spring to discuss my project. Doug came to my home and we walked through all of the tasks that needed to be done including pressure washing, making repairs, and painting/staining. He was very thorough and took the time to help me understand that there was more needed than I originally expected, especially due to how long it had been since the last painting/staining. I received his quote in a timely fashion and he was quick to answer the questions that I had. I understood when I signed the contract that I would need to wait until summer for the job to be completed. The job was started the end of July and took about a week and a half to complete. Doug and all of the workers were professional, friendly, and informative throughout the project. Because this company could provide a wide range of services, it made it easy for me. I was especially impressed by the work done to prepare the buildings for the staining/painting. Everyone was careful to work around the landscaping and kept the area clean each day. The quality of the final product is excellent - my home looks better than it ever has before. The cost was high but well worth the final results."

"Tom and his crew rebuilt our composite deck in the June-July 2018 time frame. We could not be happier with the job. The Built To Last crew was very professional and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the rebuilt deck was better than new. Everything is very secure and tight. During the construction, Tom made several suggestions to keep the price down while not compromising quality and our satisfaction. Tom provided price transparencies for all materials. Greatly appreciated! We would definitely use Tom and his crew again. Highly recommend Built To Last Construction. Just as a note... this was a very large deck with a great deal of work."

"I'd like to start by saying the categories for projects seem pretty narrow. I had Brent quote me on framing / drywalling in an open room to create a private area with a door more like a bedroom rather than just open to the world. Brent and Adam did great work while they were here, they were very polite and courteous. Brent gave me both best and worst case scenarios for timing during quote process and brought the job in complete well within his best case time frame :) he answered all my questions and pointed out things I hadn't considered or thought about (isn't that why you hire an expert? lol) all in all they were a great pleasure to have here completing the work. I already have Brent working on quotes for other projects around my place and will most assuredly be using his services again."

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.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
