"I chose Reilly because of the many great reviews on Angi—and here’s mine: trust this team. They were thorough, professional, and highly skilled. They completed a full tear-down and rebuild of my deck, and it looks fantastic. The price was also competitive, which I truly appreciated. As a widow, I’ve sometimes been treated differently during home projects—but that was absolutely not the case here. Every member of the Reilly team treated me with honesty, respect, and professionalism. I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I’ll definitely use Reilly again and highly recommend them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.
