"Selecting JB Construction to improve my home is a decision I'm very satisfied with, and that's coming from a discerning customer who expects things to be done right. After thinking about a remodel for a number of years, I finally got started by interviewing a number of contractors. The idea of updating your house is fun, of course, but there also was some trepidation about making the right choice since the project was going to be a significant commitment of time and money. After choosing JB Construction, Joe and his team really made the process as smooth as possible. They were professional and courteous and kept me updated on the work and next steps all along the way. They cleaned up the house daily after working, and they quickly made things right if I requested any changes or minor fixes. Their workmanship was terrific, the project on time and on budget, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results -- kitchen, dining room, family room, and hallway all brought out of the 80s and 90s into 2018. Thanks, Joe!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
