"We bought a duplex that required far more renovation than we anticipated. After being duped by a general contractor and losing months of time, we decided to act as the GC ourselves. Finding good, reliable contractors (in all trades) has been a massive struggle. We were truly ready to give up and sell the property until getting a chance recommendation for Tyler. Not only did he actually answer the phone when I called, he happened to be in the area and came by that same day to take a look. He was friendly and positive about the project that many other contractors had scoffed at, left before finishing or deemed a â S&$! Showâ . Tyler came in and picked up the pieces left behind by multiple bad operators. He is a perfectionist, amazing problem solver and the hardest working person I have ever met. He was able to tackle every part of the renovation from framing to tile to door installation with ease. His knowledge of all aspects of construction is truly astounding and second to none. He provides clear, detailed estimates, shows up when he says he will and communicates any issues or concerns right away. He is worth every penny of the fair price that he charges. We are eternally grateful that Tyler showed up in our lives to help us turn a tired, old house into a beautifully renovated duplex we can rent furnished to traveling medical professionals."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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 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.
