"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"

I would highly recommend anyone looking for a responsive, professional, and affordable contractor to contact Gene."

"After having a contractor walk out on me without finishing the job I dealt with this hideous stair case. That was up until I met Phillip! I found him on Angi & within just a few days he was able to come and evaluate the work that I needed. Not only on the stair case but other unfinished project in just 2 days he completely flipped my home. Mounted my TV, installed new baseboard and trim, finished my flooring (also redoing the questionable DIY areas I did myself) and gave me this beautiful stairs case. Not only did he pick up the supplies for me but also stained and painted it all. He is meticulous in his work and takes pride in each project he does. Truly a great person and handy man to keep around. He is both trustworthy and reliable. Needless to say I will be calling Phillip for all future projects. Thanks so much again."

"This was the third time I used Mark and he did a fantastic job. The bathroom was a challenge because the space was awkward but needed a shower added. Not only did he find a solution, but it looks great and really improved the value of the property. He did work throughout the house and even redid his work on the front porch railing after a brief conversation about making it look better -- the way he redid the work went above and beyond what I expected and really made everything look so much better. I keep going back to Mark for his work and highly recommend."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
