"Tony was wonderful. I contracted with him in to finish a bathroom. The prior contractor made many majoristakrs with the drainage. Tony had to fix several major plumbing mistakes. He was up front, clear on the issues and what had to be done to correct the problems. Wonderful work and I will be contracting with him in the future."

"Brent and his crew are extremely professional in every aspect! Communication was very consistent and thorough. Efficiently got the job done but very precise and took the time to ask questions to confirm aesthetically this is what we were looking for. Their workmanship was top notch. Also a product arrived damaged from the manufacturer and Brent took care of it and exchanged it immediately. Very clean with debris and conscientious about noise and parking in our neighborhood. Will absolutely hire them again."

"Joe and his team from coastal renovations were one of the best experiences I have had on any renovation we have done on many homes we have owned. From start to finish they explained every step taken and when the project was completed we couldn't be happier. If your looking for a contractor I would highly recommend them."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.
