"Randy came on time. He immediately started to complete my projects. He is very knowledgeable and efficient. I am planning on having him do several other projects in the near future. He was very reasonable for the projects he completed for me. It is very difficult to find a person to do smaller projects. I wish I had hired him before now."

"I Needed to setup a drill press in my basement. I recently had back surgery and wasn't able to do it myself. So I went online to Angie aka Angie's List. Bowen Construction reached out immediately and offered a great price. So it was a no Brainer to choose Bowen Construction. When Rick Bowen showed up, he easily assembled drill press and made adjustments to get it running smoothly. Thanks to Rick’s attention to detail, right before leaving he was studying the picture he took of drill press and noticed that it wasn't level. So he came back and fixed it. I love my new drill press. I would recommend Bowen Construction to anyone who needs a handyman. Thank you."

"Professional job, on time and kept the work site very clean. The installer was very experienced and was able to handle a challenging job of installing 2 new windows in an older home without a problem. Impressed with the service and the communication was outstanding, They aren't happy with the job until you are happy with the job.  Honest and dependable. Would recommend this company for your window and door projects.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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. 

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.
