"They have now done two separate jobs on different occasions. Jobs consisted of preparing a floor for carpeting after a animal had ruined the previous carpet and wood. Also fixed my front door which was a little crooked so it stuck. I then called them back for drywall work after I had redid my plumbing. Excellent, professional work for both jobs. Well priced. Went above and beyond. Was also very nice and great to talk to. All around great work that I recommend. And I know we will have other projects for this company."

"recently hired Northwest Builders & Renovation to build my garage, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. The communication was clear every step of the way, and they delivered exactly what they promised ? on time and within budget. The quality of the framing, concrete, and finish work exceeded my expectations. They took care of everything efficiently, handled permits smoothly, and left the site clean every day. It?s rare to find contractors this reliable and dedicated to doing the job right. I highly recommend Northwest Builders & Renovation to anyone looking for skilled, honest professionals who truly care about their work."

"Chris owner of his family construction firm was a great person and great help throughout the entire process which proved to be much more extensive than originally thought. Chris made sure that proper procedures were being followed and we understood each step of the way what was needed and costs involved. I felt very comfortable working with Chris because you could sense he was a good person and really cared about his work and company. I highly recommend Koi construction for any of your homes needs. They do all kinds of work and do it well. My over all sense was these were good people and were cost conscience."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.
