"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
"Caden knows concrete! I hired Caden to pour a slab for my new build. I was very impressed with his ambition and the skills he put on display. Along with concrete work I would not hesitate to hire Broadhead construction for any other construction work needed"
"The entire experience was so positive. Jesse wasnâ t just someone we hired for a custom project, he (and his family) became friends throughout the process. He is an outstanding carpenter, but an even better person. Laid back with a good sense of humor, he helped guide us through the design process, listening to our ideas, brainstorming with us and offering suggestions on what might be better materials, more realistic options and the best ways to utilize our space to achieve our desired goals. We now have a beautiful statement piece in our home - and it feels like we built it â togetherâ . His attention to detail is second to none and we wouldnâ t hesitate to hire him for another custom project in the future."
"If quality, honesty, and thorough attention is what you are seeking then this is the company for you. Check to make sure they can match your time lines."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
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 most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
