"Austin not only got the job done right, he’s accomplished our upgrades far beyond expectations. He is a master of his craft, a perfectionist, and conscientious business owner. Every morning at 7AM Austin was at our house already preparing his day. And at the end of the day he was still full of energy and excited about the magic he was planning for the next day. He was fair and calculating for a realistic price for materials and labor. He has been reliable, trustworthy, engaging, and caring. Austin provided thoughtful creativity as we challenged him to achieve woodworking corrections on our damaged hardwood floor that 3-4 other contractors said wasn’t possible. Austin made it happen… and flawlessly! Please know that everyone has different needs and expectations, but my husband and I have been delighted with Austin’s work. He’s earned a 10 out of 10 on our scale of excellence. Thank you so much Austin, you truly have made our vision happen. "

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.

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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
