"This guy is not just a carpenter, he is an artist. I asked him to do chair rails and under frames in our dining room, as well as do a coffered ceiling. I had no idea what all this entailed, but he did. He came and measured, gave me options, and offered guidance. The results are beyond what I hoped for. His team left the space cleaner than they found it, and even helped me re hang the pictures and put the furniture back in place. Excellent choice for fine carpentry work!!!"
"Curtis Kuhn has created several custom furniture pieces for me (several are pictured in the pictures section of his company on Angie's List), including an entry way table, a shelf, a coffee table, and a cedar shoe shelf for our closet. His work is great, and he can deliver (and draw up) what you are describing from your head and inspiration photos. He's awesome...hope he doesn't retire before all my projects are done. :)"
"Marcelino Lopez built beautiful 14’ customer cabinets and shelves in our den. He also custom built floor to ceiling cabinets on the garage with a work bench. We told him what we wanted and he made some great suggestions we hadn’t even thought about. He emailed us his CAD drawings and they were great, very detailed. He’s s a perfectionist, his work is high quality, no corners cut, and his prices are very reasonable. He’s always on time and cleans up when he’s through for the day. He has been building cabinets for 30 years, I would highly recommend him and would hire him again! Beautiful work, you won’t be sorry you hired him!"
"It went very well. The serviceman showed up on time and efficiently went about his work. Afterwards, he was gracious in getting on top of the garage again to clean a portion of the house siding that was difficult to get to, in order to get a few difficult to reach spots. We are very pleased with the work as all of the mold has been cleared away.."
"I hired Sonart Construction to remodel my sons bedroom and they did a great job. The price was very good, they was on time with their job, and it came out beautiful. Very good company."
"My family had Jerry and his Handynauts crew to install our long await gazebo. They were very thorough and clean up after themselves. Punctual and reasonable pricing for the service. We will be using them going forward for any handyman work and other services."

"We hired Luis Carrasco of Arbors and Patios to replace the walkway and front porch at our house in January 2021. We chose him because he had done a good job laying pavers in our rear patio a few years ago. This time we wanted decorative concrete and a larger porch. His crew began the job in early February, removing the old concrete, laying forms and pouring concrete for two sets of steps, a new path and the porch. Unfortunately, winter storms delayed the staining and completion of the project until early March. We were satisfied with the results except for one mistake -- a large, shoe-shaped stain on the sidewalk by the walkway. The stain could not be washed off or erased. Two months later, in mid May, a large crack appeared above the steps, crossing the entire width of the walkway. We were concerned that it might grow larger so we asked Luis to have someone seal the crack. Despite assurances by e-mail that he would send a crew to take care of it, nothing happened for weeks. At last, on June 24, while we weren't home, someone from Arbors and Patios applied a filler. The work was not perfect (the crack is still noticeable on one side) but we were satisfied."
"Ray was awesome, showed up on time and did a great job on a very tedious door frame repair. As others have mentioned, cleaned up and very professional."
"I want to say that Mike did an incredible job putting together my furniture. I had a bed frame, gel mattress, dresser and futon. He made sure that all the parts fit. He made sure he kept the areas clean. He even took his shoes off so it wouldn't scratch up my floors. He is very professional, friendly and excellent at his job. I definitely will be calling again for his help. Thanks again Mike"
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.
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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
