"I had called 8 other companies and they wanted to do unnecessary work at extremely high prices. We were referred b another company on Angie’s List, who explained we really needed a waterproof coating. I then Spoke to the owner of Fiber Coat Deck Company, and he immediately knew what we needed to stop the leak and prevent it from recurring with a special fiberglass coating used by his company. He even gave a warranty when other companies weren’t even sure that their high priced work wood fix the problem. They were amazing and even sealed around areas the HOW had moved that contributed to the leakage. They put on very professional drain covers and corrected the tilt so the water would actually drain like they should. There has been no leak since. They only took 2 days and the work is excellent quality and looks amazing. The cost was between 1/2 and 1/4th of what other companies put in their bids and they could not guarantee their work. They were honest, professional, competent, on time and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the services of Fiber-Coat Deck Company."

"Still in process, but so far they have been excellent. We have run into a snag with the job the flooring company (it was NOT done by JB Custom Finish .. Now I wish I had used them) and JB has, and is, doing everything they can to help us through this."

"My project: Restore shed foundation and build new shed. My delivery schedule got all messed up and kept changing (HomeDepot) but Felipe kept working with me. They did the job in two 12 hours days, no sitting around and BS'ing, just work. He came back and sealed the bottom of the shed at no cost to make sure the job was done right. Felipe takes pride in his work that's apparent and I would highly recommend his services. Gary H."

"I AM OVER THE MOON PLEASED! This was the third time I had hired Kyle and his excellent crew to remodel a house for me. It was a huge job, that entailed a lot of very careful restoration, on a 1920 Craftsman Arts and Crafts home. The home had a fire in the past, and had never been properly remediated. There were burnt beams and joists that need to be repaired as well as a lot of water damage that occurred when putting out the fire. To see the house today, you'd never imagine the state it was in when I purchased it. IT IS NOW, KNOCK OUT GORGEOUS! I had tried to find someone who was good at and understood the difference between remodeling and restoration. Other contractors I spoke to, wanted to remove all of the architectural components of a craftsman house. They clearly didn't understand restoration! Kyle himself lives in a Craftsman home, and understood my concerns. He and his guys did exactly the kind of work I wanted. His lead man on my job, Arturo, and his cousin Phillipe took on every challenge I threw at them, and executed each job perfectly. These guys are so talented, resourceful, and willing, it made working with them a real pleasure! Although some of the original parts and pieces of the home Were salvageable, Many had sustained too much damage to save. Arturo, a master at woodworking, managed to make reproduction built-ins, cabinets, moldings and casings. He made from scratch, period style casement windows and window screens as well. My home did not originally come with a fireplace, and when I showed him a period craftsman fireplace with built in cabinet surrounds, he made me one so perfectly done, no one would ever know it wasn't period to the home. To see this house today, you might think it is an all original well kept home from the 1920's, which is exactly what I wanted. Lastly, I'd like to say what a pleasure it was having Kyle's crew in my home! They were here 6 days a week for 8 months. They were the most respectful and caring guys, and totally trustworthy! As a woman on her own, I have in the past been treated very badly by construction companies and their employees. These guys were completely the opposite! So easy going and willing to take on any challenge! I WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!"

"We recently hired a construction company to complete an addition on our home, and we couldn?t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail truly stood out. The team took the time to understand our vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that improved both the design and functionality of the new space. Throughout the project, communication was clear and consistent. We always knew what phase we were in, what to expect next, and any questions we had were answered promptly. The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations. The addition blends seamlessly with the original structure of our home?it looks and feels like it was always meant to be there. The crew was punctual, respectful of our property, and kept the worksite clean and organized each day. We highly recommend this company to anyone considering a home addition or renovation."

"Home2Renovate painted the entire exterior of the house including the stucco and trim. They did an excellent job in prepping the house for the actual painting and they completed the house in a timely manner (5 and 1/2 days straight through). They were professional and took great pride in their work. They kept me informed throughout the process. They also installed rain gutters which complemented the paint scheme of the house. I would highly recommend them for home repair and painting projects."

"Mike was punctual and very professional on this project which took a little over two days to complete. His assistant was very skilled in the kind of carpentry required for building a deck and benches incorporated into the structure. The photo shows the triangular area repaired after a spa had been removed. The new redwood had not yet been stained to match the older part of the deck."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.
