We pride ourselves on being a unique construction company. Everything Under the Roof is an interior, residential construction company owned by Kim and Jay Spanier. At work we are a husband and wife team, but at home we are mom and dad, so we truly understand the importance of keeping your project orderly and on time, while keeping your family (including your pets) safe. We can also guarantee NO high pressure sales calls, and no crabby, condescending construction guys working on your home improvement project – just our family helping yours! Kim is your main point of contact through the project. She walks you through the construction process, acts as your personal construction jargon translator, and, most importantly, she is the budget master. Kim will help you shop for materials so that you stay on budget. Jay is the jobsite superintendent. He manages the day to day activities of your remodeling/construction project, he coordinates and manages the sub-contractors, and it’s his skillful carpentry that will transform your home. All of our projects work within the existing footprint of your house. What exactly does that mean? Well, in a nut shell, we don’t do additions, and we won’t raise your roof. We find all the hidden, un-used spaces in your house and re-create your floor plan to work for you and your family.

"My wife and I needed to finish our basement to accommodate our growing kids. We had an excellent experience with Everything Under The Roof. They really listened to what we wanted to build and everything was done well, on-time, and on-budget. One thing I particularly appreciated is that the owner was onsite doing the work, and not simply sending a team of workers. We'll definitely be using Everything Under The Roof for any future projects. "

My Company does home improvement. This is my 35th year in business, I am a true professional. I never cut corners, always thinking about the customer’s needs. I'm the person who does all the estimates. You’re never dealing with different people. I do most of all the work myself, which I prefer. I do have sub-contractors from time to time, all with many years of experience, all insured. When a contract is signed I have three payments (State of Connecticut recommends) 1st payment when contract is signed, 2nd payment half way thru job, 3rd payment when job is completed. This gives you piece of mind. My company also offers all types of WOOD SIDING repairs and installation along with specialty services for UNIQUE COPPER GUTTER SYSTEMS.

"Kurt did an excellent job in repairing several rotted windows vs going through the tremendous expense of replacing them. Kurt is professional, friendly, always on time and communicates effectively. His pricing is very fair. I plan on hiring him for another project. Highly recommend. You won’t be sorry. Great guy!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
