Blake Michael construction (soon to be known as OMR Home Remodeling llc) is a company I started after spending many years in the construction world to truly help my customers live in the home they have always dreamed of. The love for this came from my grandfather who also did home remodels and always brought me along with him to his projects. I saw his passion changes people’s homes and that always struck with me! Take a look at some of the photos I have on here but also give me a call and we can set a time for a free estimate! 716-220-2828

"They didn't complete the Gazebo and the siding is crooked and you can see the cracks on it. Except not completing the gazebo roof. It needs to be screwed down because it flaps when the wind blows and that is how I found out."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
