"All I can say is WOW! Josh and Mike did a fantastic job painting my family room and kitchen ceilings and a couple of walls. Extremely personable and honest. I do not hesitate in giving them the highest recommendation and I will be sure to have them do future work for me. Thank you Home Advisor!"

"A few days after we signed the contract, they arrived to deliver materials and to begin removing the old deck. That was on a Friday. They continued to work Saturday and Monday, and completed building the replacement deck on Tuesday. The new deck and set of stairs seem very safe and they look great! The carpenters who rebuilt this deck were knowledgeable and always very pleasant. They worked through an awful windstorm, but once they started the job their priority was to complete it. They left everything nice and clean. We will certainly enjoy using this deck this spring and summer!"

"Shawn (Caboose Crew Construction) converted my side porch into a curbless walk in shower and bathroom, he also put a new roof on my house with a subcontractor he likes to use Shawn did all the wood repair work and oversaw the whole installation project of the shingles, he also redid all my sidewalks and drainage spouts and pipes and he subcontracted the concrete work but Shawn did all the framing and prep work ,and the landscaping work was subcontracted also but Shawn was involved himself through the whole project. Shawn’s also had done some smaller projects for me. I highly recommend Shawn (Caboose Crew Construction). I’m very pleased, I feel I’m a fairly fussy person but he was very gracious and he worked with me (put up with me) through everything. Darian Stephens"

"The motto on their shirt says it all ?Perfect is OK?. Far and away THE most professional contractor we have ever had. Responsive, on time, on budget, polite and courteous. They work clean and stay until the job is done correctly. The pool deck is beautiful - can not wait to use it next season. We also had him replace four 14 foot columns on the front porch - they look better than the originals and are much better built. He is returning in the spring to replace the railing on our existing 2nd floor deck to match the pool railing. He is now our go to for all jobs he is able to handle for us. If you want quality work, call T & J."

"Bob crushed it. He took a complete mess of and old barn half finished half never converted and turned it all into a beautifully finished 4,000sqft home for my family. He worked with us on planning to meet all our goals. 110/100"

"We had a major water leak from our air conditioning system which damaged our laminate flooring as well as our drywall ceiling and a few walls. We contacted IPS, who provided fast service. They promptly came out to repair the flooring as well as the drywall.  They were very skilled in their work, it was a high quality job done in an extremely professional manner. They were very courteous and personable as well. In addition to that work, they also painted our laundry room which needed painting and installed handles on our cabinets. I was extremely pleased with all of the work and would highly recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.
