"Byron is knowledgeable . He had several helpful suggestions. He and his team are fast, efficient, and good. They had our deck torn apart, repaired, and painted in one day! Because the paint was so wet when they left, they came back the next day to see if it needed any touch ups. They did exactly what we wanted done. They also cleaned up and hauled off all the old stuff."

"Vista Roofing and Construction provided the best construction experience. They were on top of all communications with the inspectors and ourselves on all aspects and concerns on a timely basis. It finished within the time expected. They cleaned up the area as well. Would definitely hire them again in the future."

"Zach repaired and resurfaced the drywall on our ceilings as well as some needed carpentry work. He communicates promptly, is incredibly neat and his work is superb. He has many years of experience and it shows in his work. Zach is a super nice guy and checks all the boxes for what you hope for when hiring someone to work on your home. I highly recommend and will call on him again for any future projects."

"Marcus was awesome! Very trustworthy and always does quality work. We had seen some total transformation renovations he has done on other properties. So when we were renovating our home, we brought him in on several projects. He painted interior walls & trim. He also helped remove a wall between our kitchen and living room, did plumbing, lighting, garage shelving, door & window installation, floor tile, hung beadboard on a wall and ceiling & helped build a huge deck. One thing great about Marcus is he is extremely creative and has a keen design eye. He always had great ideas throughout our remodel. Finally, Marcus is a problem solver. When we weren't sure how we could get something to work or what to do, Marcus can always figure out a way. On top of he came up with several ideas to make working on a project more efficient saving time and money. We highly recommend Harris Renovations!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.
