"Mr Downey came to our rescue as another carpenter had done substandard work on our front porch which had to be ripped out. We were starting all over again and he was able to build custom railings and provide a very high quality of service and professionalism. We also used him at our sons house. He installed LVP flooring, removed old trim and replaced with custom trim. He even built extra deep window sills for plants! He also built a beautiful shiplap bar front. All at a great price. His work is custom and very high quality."

"Deck was exactly what we had in mind. It?s been 4-5 months since it was built and we love it! It?s been solid in full sun, rain, snow, fall and winter. Honest, timely, and skilled. I?d hire them again in a heartbeat!"

"John came out on time to provide us with an estimate. Once we made our decision to contract the job with John Witson Construction, JOHN showed up each and every day on time as promised, leaving the job site clean each and every day. His attention to detail and genuine concern for our satisfaction is what will bring us back to John for our next project. I highly recommend John Witson construction for any carpentry project that you may have"

"Mr. JONES came to our home and helped us with options on Mini Split HVAC unit for a room addition. We could not have happier with the customer service and the installation crew. He also looked at our unit for the house and gave us some future options, no high pressure sales tactics. Going to call him next year about our master bathroom remodel when we have the extra money. We are glad we found him. Give him a call you won't be disappointed."

"Needed to add a bathroom/laundry room addition. Wes displayed outstanding craftsmanship from building the form to pour the slab, to putting down the roofing, and everything in between including the shower, flooring, and tongue & groove paneling. He did everything except the insulation and electrical wiring. Itâ s airtight and solid as a rock. Workmanship is visually superior to a house a new neighbor built just down the road."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.
