"Excellent professional work and managed to use existing structures to cut costs. Carpentry work was master level and cleaned up very well and communication was first rate. In general lumber costs are high but the finished deck they did for my back deck is well worth the investment and will be enjoyed for years to come!"

"Eli and his crew were wonderful to deal with. They took our job of repairing part of our porch structure, tearing out an existing deck, and building a new deck with a different design. They explained what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. They answered my many, many concerns and questions. Eli was very patient with me. They worked around my flower beds, my dogs, my grandkids, the heat and the rain. The work they did to save our porch and build a new deck was flawless. I would definitely recommend this company. It was a pleasure to do business with this company. (My husband and I would give them more stars if possible)"

"We decided to remove the old deck in our back yard and build a new larger one with a pergola. Jim did a great job from start to end. Before starting, he helped us deciding the material by providing quotes using cedar and composite. We decided to use cedar for both deck and pergola, and we love how it came out. Jim was very responsive during the design phase. So, we could finalize the design and start construction. At that point we had a tight schedule because of guests visiting during summer. Jim and his team worked hard and managed to be within schedule. The work was done very carefully, with great attention to details and we are very pleased by the outcome."

"I met Frank Mannella on a Saturday morning to receive a quote. My first observation was that he was on time. Secondly, he was very personable and direct in inspecting the project in question and provided a quote, which included materials and labor. We set a date for the job to be completed and he called to confirm the start date. On the day of the project, Frank arrived right within the time frame given and went straight to work. Mr. Mannella and his assistant worked continuously until the project was done. Upon completion, I inspected the work and could not be more pleased. I would likely re-hire him for other handyman projects."

"So thrilled with my new mudroom lockers! Our designer, Rich, really listened to my wish list, looked at all the pictures I showed him, and asked questions I hadn’t even thought of to make sure he was incorporating everything into his designs. He was very responsive via emails and answered all of my questions and changes. Their quote was also the most affordable and reasonable compared to the three other companies I was exploring. Fast forward two weeks to the actual installation day and Justin came right on time, fully prepared to install the lockers and did a phenomenal job! He was very nice, respectful of our home, and quietly went about building the lockers. He made a few changes on the fly at my request and I was blown away by his willing to accommodate some last minute changes. Very impressed with Closet Organizing System, HIGHLY recommend them, and will definitely use them again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
