"I will never hire anyone else again for carpentry or minor construction work. Sergioâ s team was prompt, professional, and cost effective. The quality of their work was awesome!!! Do not look farther for minor or even major projects. They replaced a rotting main support on my pergola and the entire shade cover. They also installed a dropped down ironing board. I could not be happier with the quality of the work."

"We hired Emilio to build a floating deck. He was punctual for each appointment, did exactly what he said he was going to do, kept me posted on progress and anything additional needed. The final product was excellent, completed quicker than most other vendors and for a very fair price."

"Great experience from start to finish. Prompt estimate of work. Crew was here bright and early every day, and worked diligently the entire day. Steve visited several times to check on progress. They caulked all seams in our board and batten siding and painted everything (siding, eaves, gutters) meticulously. They also painted the inside of my garage, helped me move the heavy stuff to the center and then move it back. The paint is absolutely perfect-razor edge corners, great coverage on all surfaces (far superior to what our builder did). I will definitely use Proline again for my interior painting. Look no further…you’ve found the painters you want!"

"Dave was amazing again - previous work was to repair a small deck; promptly arrived (on same day of call) and performed the work. True professional and very reasonable in price. Do not look anywhere else for a handyman"

"We are getting ready to sell our house and had several items on our list. They were all done efficiently and quite satisfactorily (attic ladder, gutter downspout replacement, rotten wood, and patio cover repair). The patio cover required disassembling the metal structure, extracting damaged polycarbonate skylight panels, and replacement. Victor knew exactly how to do it and, although finding the replacement panels required more than a simple visit to the local Home Depot, Victor managed to locate the exact material and our patio cover is beautiful and light-filled again. We appreciated his work ethic so much (showed up when he said he would, worked all day, cleaned up afterwards), we added another task to wash the siding and bricks on the house and garage. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the work he provided. You cannot go wrong hiring this pro."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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. 

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