"Rob and his crew did a great job. Our house was built in the 1800s, so when it needed structural repairs done, we knew we needed an experienced engineer and crew. He installed a supporting pole in our basement and added support in the attic. The floor in our second-floor room felt springy, uneven, and creaky. The ceiling in the floor directly below had cracks forming all throughout the crown molding and plaster. They removed the ceiling plaster and crown molding from the lower room to find faulty repair work done sometime during the last century. They sistered in new wood beams and added security. The floors feel safe and don’t creak anymore. They redid the ceiling and crown molding and then added a ceiling fan and light. We also had some extra painting done, and our playground ladder rebuilt. His man Luis is a very talented carpenter and does amazing work. His crew is very versatile and talented. I highly recommend!"

"Jon Fox and his crew are the best. Jon came and evaluated the job, told us what he would do, came back and did exactly what he said. They did an excellent job. Jon took enough time to allow for thorough drying and finishing, was mindful of our time frame and went above and beyond to get the job done and done well! Great people doing great work! We will definitely hire them again!"

"Rob, the owner of the company, provided a price quote in an extremely prompt manner. After we came to a mutual agreement, I appreciated the way he structured our contract to include progress payments based on the completion of various work phases and not on specific dates. He remodeled my kitchen by performing many tasks such as tearing out the old kitchen; installing new flooring, cabinets; LED can lights, a new garbage disposal, an over-the-range microwave oven, and backsplash; building floating shelves; relocating a ceiling fan; and re-connecting all appliances. When challenges arose because of a faulty design by another firm, Rob was quick to provide thoughtful alternative methods to overcome the design flaws. He worked diligently throughout the process, rarely stopping to eat lunch. Finally, when the work was completed, Rob did a fantastic job of removing machine dust from the exterior of the cabinets, the backsplash, large appliances, and the flooring. The kitchen was so gleaming and beautiful that I didn’t want to use it for a few days. All discarded cabinet boxes and other debris were removed in an orderly manner. Overall, it was a pleasure doing business with Be Blessed Remodeling."

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.
