Our deck is now protected and looks brand new. Highly recommend Perfect Touch for anyone needing top-quality deck sealing!"

"Jose did wonderful cabinetry work for us, refacing the doors on a built in wardrobe, building a new attached bookshelf unit, and combining them seamlessly. He was very communicative, flexible, and responsive. Would definitely recommend."

"I had an excellent experience with Jason. He removed an old bathroom vanity and installed a new one with faucet very quickly. He was very knowledgeable and explained each step of the process. I will definitely use them in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for bathroom or any other project."

"We purchased an older home and after living in it for a couple of months discovered a few issues in the attic and on the outside of the house that needed to be addressed. We also wanted to add additional interior lighting in three bedrooms and replace light fixtures on the outside of the home. Jeremy, from Grandview Construction, professionally addressed all our concerns regarding the necessary repairs to the house. He gave us an honest opinion on what needed to be handled and what steps needed to be taken to correct the issues. Because of Jeremyâ s home construction knowledge and carpentry skills, we were able to address the issues with the house along with making the improvements we were looking for at the same time. After working with Grandview Construction, on our house, I can say with full confidence that I would recommend their services. Grandview showed honesty, integrity, and professionalism in their work. Plus, the improvements they completed to our house turned out fantastic."

"Overall Builders and its owner Robert were fantastic. Easy to work with, extremely accommodating, competitive pricing and the quality of work was superb! The tile pattern we chose was extremely challenging and Victor, Robert's tile guy, nailed it! We will, absolutely, use Overall Bulders for all our home remodel/repair needs in the future!"

"Everything went great. Rich was a pleasure to work with. He stayed within our budget, and addressed our needs. He really listened, even when I had some last minute changes. The installation was smooth, and the cabinets look great and feel really high quality. We are very happy and would hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
