"We hired James to build our new deck and we are thrilled with the outcome. James is a highly skilled master carpenter paying attention to every detail. Our new deck is the sturdiest and nicest deck in the neighborhood! We would definitely hire him again for any project. He was present in our life for only a week while building our deck but now he is like family to us. We admire his work ethic and professionalism. Everyone that comes to our house admires our new deck!"

"Eric came over to look at the job and determine what parts were needed and the vendor to use. He ordered the necessary materials, set a date to do the work. He arrived on time ready to work. There was quite a bit of manipulation of the railings to get them to fit. He kept until they were finished. Good work, very polite. Cleaned up work space before he left."

Customers say: Quality work

"I have used Home Advisor for several projects lately and have been satisfied with the work from other pros. Gerard Kaizer was by far the best I have come across. He gave me expert advice and knew right away that my 20 year old siding was not done correctly on one side of the house. He scheduled the repair, showed up on time and did extra repairs without charging me extra. The siding finally looks straight and is very secure now after all these years. My wife and I are so happy with the work he did. Cleaned up after the job and I could not be happier with their work. He is busy but if you can get him to do your project Do It!. He really knows Quality work."

"Stuart Allum is the only contractor we use for home repair projects. When our basement flooded, we had to tear out all of the damaged walls from the floor to the chair rail. Stuart came to the rescue and replaced studs, sheet rock, molding, bead board and chair rail and then painted so that the basement looked brand new! He even came back to install shoe mold to finish our new flooring. Stuart is an excellent craftsman and completes jobs quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to family and friends."

"They did an excellent job building a screen room on my deck. The finished product looks great. I would rate straight 5's if communication was better but then it's difficult for contractors to respond quickly since they are on the job all day. I would definitely hire them again."

"All Brothers painting did an excellent job on the exterior of our house. Such professionals and very polite, arrived on time every day, cleaned up everyday. Replaced some of our wood siding, painted 3 colors on the house, plus painted our porches and deck floors and handicap ramp in cedar color. Back screened in sun porch with A frame ceilings. They primed the house with oil base paint first then sprayed and back brushed entire house. Highly recommend these pros. You won t be disappointed"

"Trevor and his team did a brilliant job with the renovations of the house that was not in good shape prior. He was communicative and available to chat at all times to provide updates. The attention to detail on all tasks is what impressed the most. He was flexing with his pricing and got the job done before estimated completion date. I would definitely use his services again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
