"The crew was polite and professional. No nonsense, and had a hustle to their cadence. As a retired framing contractor I was pleased to see this efficiency as the job was completed in a timely manner. Impressed they took the time to stop and ask me how I wanted a particular aspect plumbed when in doubt. The job was done cleanly and it looks great. Highly recommended A !"

"Serge did much more than flooring; he also installed electrical (lighting/ceiling fan & outlets) , bathroom vanities and enclosed an indoor storage area with custom doors. He is fair and an excellent worker. We especially appreciate his prompt communication. That work was done summer/fall 2022. Heâ s back now (summer 2023) for more home improvements."

"Had them remove old patio roof and build new one. Removed old shingles and replaced. Installed ridgetop vent and gutters. The showed up on time and worked late every day of the week, including weekends. Kept us informed what they were doing and asked us for our ideals. Not only would we hire them again for any other projects, I would highly recommend anyone to ask for them. Outstanding work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
