"D and D demonstrated expertise with handling and replacing damaged hardi-plank siding at my house. They did everything safely and modified the method that hardi-plank meets the roof shingles to prevent future moisture damage. They also made good use of materials I had on hand such as house paint and siding materials that brought the total cost of the job down. I am delighted and comfortable that the cost was a a lot less than the improvement in the future value of our home."

"A very skilled, knowledgeable and professional carpenter that I would recommend to any of my family or friends. The price for my two jobs were justified and in line with other interviewees that did not have the skills and abilities of his company."

"We contracted K & K Management to perform renovations on our home and they did an excellent job. Even after our many additional requests Keith and Jake were able to complete the job above our expectations, especially concerning the exterior paint job and the deck renovation. We would definitely recommend this company!"

"We have used a good amount of companies before, and continued to get the same result; no communication, always above budget, and never within the time frame discussed. Trevor and his team were the exact opposite of this. We never had any issues with communication, price, or time. We also have three small children and our project was fairly large. Trevor and his team took great care to make sure our children were comfortable, and most importantly, safe. 10 out of 10 will absolutely hire again."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
