"LC PB Inc re-roofed and performed repairs to the indoor entry area of our home., due to water damage. All work was performed in a highly professional manner. Louis Ceja, contractor, submitted a very competitive bid for the repairs needed. He and his crew worked timely and efficiently. His men cleaned up each day so that we were able to live in a safe/ clean environment . Louis maintained timely communication about arrival times and project schedules. We are pleased with the quality of work. Even the building inspector, when signing off on the project, without prompting, said â good jobâ . In light of these qualities, I can recommend LC Professional Builders Inc. for construction repairs/remodels without hesitation."

"Derich and his assistant are professional, courteous, competent and a pleasure to have in our home. We just did a remodel on a small house in Glen Ellen and the sound and A.V. system they recommended and installed makes the place pop! I know they do bigger (much bigger!) and more expensive jobs but this is now our home and they paid attention to our needs, and equally importantly, to our budget. My wife is an engineer and CEO in the building trades and I am a somewhat picky audiophile - so satisfying us takes a little extra. It means a lot when I say turning on the sound system and the music, with an IPhone, while sitting out by the new fire-pit on the patio with a glass of wine in the evening, puts a big smile on everybody's face! I would use them again in a second and recommend them to all, whether you have a big budget job, or you are picky small fry like us. Tell Derich I said he can give out my cell phone number to verify this posting."

Customers say: True professional

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

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.

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.
