"Jeff replaced the peeling painted drywall porch ceiling with cedar planks which he custom stained to match the front door (which he also stained) . The can lights in the ceiling were replaced with closed LED fixtures..no more bug nest worries! I bought lovely new carriage lights but installing them required Jeff to create a mounting area out of cedar which he then framed with moulding and stained to match the door and ceiling. It looks awesome! Can I add a picture? You really need to see this! Every project that Jeff has done for us, big and small, has made our home more beautiful."

"Steve is a great guy and very professional. He completed work in a timely manor and went above and beyond on multiple occasions for me in getting my house ready for rental (until I can move into it in a couple years). Easy to work with and always curious."

"A&Romero built an arbor and picket fence for me. My experience was was excellent from start to the completed work. I knew I wanted to work with Jefrin from our first meeting. His presentation was professional and respectful. He listened and took time to understand exactly what I wanted and he provided the best estimate. From the time the job was started Jefrin engaged my opinion so that the end product matched my vision perfectly! They were clean and neat and left everything in good order. I will absolutely hire A&Romero for my next project!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.
