"I recently hired this handyman service for furniture assembly, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Tim arrived right on time, which was a big plus. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process. Not only did Tim assemble my furniture quickly, but he also made sure everything was perfectly aligned and sturdy. I really appreciated how easy he was to communicate with, and he answered all my questions with a smile. Highly recommend this service for anyone in need of fast, reliable, and friendly furniture assembly was fantastic!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the drywall work that was completed. The craftsmanship was exceptional from the smooth finishes, clean seams, and great attention to detail throughout the repair. The work was completed on time, the drywall guy kept it clean, and communication was excellent from start to finish. It’s clear that this drywaller takes pride in their work and strives for perfection. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality drywall installation or repairs."

"The guys who come out to see the job and give an estimate are the guys who do the work and the work they do is excellent! Very quick to complete the job, too! They leveled land and laid a brick patio for me in one day, added a few bricks for trimming/edging the next day and they were finished. Looks great! Nick said they do a lot of other type of outdoor work, as well. I highly recommend Unique Structures and Surfaces!"

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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
