"Professional, friendly, great attention to detail. Jesse and his crew rescreened our existing porch moving the screen to the outside of the porch framing. The work was beautifully done, great attention to detail, great clean up after the completion of the project and an ever present concern for the safety of the crew. (We had several rain days that could have been dangerous work using 2nd floor scaffolding.) I would recommend Summerlin Exteriors."

"You will not find better craftsmen than Magnolia Home solutions. They built a 50 foot long by 8ft deep porch to wrap the front of our home. Ken was a great consultant on the design and materials and was extremely flexible, giving us a variety of options and adjusting with our changing desires - even through the estimate/build process. Their end product was beautiful with extreme protein the quality and details. I highly recommend him. Ben Breazeale Black Mountain, NC"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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. 

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.
