"We hired Hillside to build a deck but we're having solar panels installed and asked them to look at the roof, which we knew needed some work based on the home inspection we'd had done at purchase earlier this year. As soon as they got up there, it was clear the roof was in much worse condition than we realized -- and they offered to completely strip it, add new wood all over, and re-shingle it, along with re-shingling the garage roof. They had a crew here first thing the next morning and the whole thing was completed by three in the afternoon. Amazingly fast and efficient. The new roof looks great, and the price was very reasonable. A few years ago, we'd had a similar job done on our old house and it cost three times as much and took over a week to complete (same size roof), so we'd definitely recommend Hillside for this kind of work!"

"The deck railing on my 29 year old pool was badly in need of repair or replacement. Dean listened to my concerns and was able to immediately make a plan to replace the railing and to build a new set of steps and a hand railing. He and his crew completed the project in one day and displayed what I look for in a contractor, which is promptness, politeness, and professionalism. They were very easy to work with, and the finished project exceeded my expectations. Very detailed and meticulous workmanship."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

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.

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.
