"Sam and his team were awesome. They gave me quotes and important information in a timely manner and never rushed me on decision making. I hired them to paint the skirt of my house, my front door, and stain some shutters and everything came out beautifully. I will be hiring them for future projects."

"Excellent. Honest and quick work. Mr. King was able to get someone out on short notice, to shim/shiv the piers. They performed a full scale cleanup last year, and I will only use Basement kings for any of my crawlspace work. Best in Texas!"

"I was assisting with some electrical home repairs where this company was also performing painting services. They were very professional and very friendly, which made working with them very pleasant and easy. They were very good about sticking to the time frames they quoted, even when their were budget difficulties. They were more than willing to work with the customer on costs, even during their clean up phases. They also cleaned up their work spaces before it became a big mess, which saved me the hassle of cleaning up after previous contractors when I was doing my own electrical installations. I highly recommend this company, based on their professionalism, friendliness and how well kept they maintained their workspace areas."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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. 

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
