"Ivan, Sarai, Ismael and others were fantastic to work with. I hired New Generation to paint the interior of my condo. They did a fantastic job and I'm so very pleased with the results. I had lots of questions and they were very patient with me. They explained the steps they would take and I learned a lot about different grades of paint, wall textures, etc. Outstanding customer service. Punctual as well. Will hire them again when I get my kitchen cabinets done next year. If you need any painting work done, I HIGHLY recommend New Generation Painting. You won't be disappointed."

"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

"John was really great. He was very nice as well as reasonably priced. He worked on replacing one of our garage walls (Plywood, waterproofing & Stucco), repairing dry rot in the framing of one of our windows as well as trim work around the entire exterior of our home. He was efficient and his work was of high quality. He passed every inspection with flying colors. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I would absolutely recommend him!"

"The Bayside Builders are the best at what they do! I've had my deck for years but it was looking worn and outdated. They helped me transform this area into something new - a more open, brighter space with plenty of room to relax on hot days or enjoy dinner under starry skies. What better way to enjoy our new outdoor space right?"

"Pat replied promptly, arrived when arranged, and completed the job in good time. He was friendly and worked with me to figure out an unusual carpentry project. He ultimately charged me less than his estimate. His final product was well done; heâ s going to come back and fix another carpentry problem I have. A nice guy to work with."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
