"Claudio was fantastic. He responded to my initial inquiry quickly, gave a very honest and informed assessment of my situation and a recommended repair. He was great about staying in touch and came out and got the project done in one day with very high quality work."

"Having worked with many contractors and been disappointed with the quality of the work and the experience, I found Byam Construction to be oustanding on all levels. Roger is very knowledgeable and communicative. His estimates are thorough yet concise and his pricing is competitive. The carpenters were professional, timely and detail oriented. I appreciated that everyone took the extra steps to make this a great job. Roger fit me in his schedule faster than anticipated and the carpenters were very thorough and experienced. If you can't tell, I would highly recommend Byam Construction, they were amazing. I'm thrilled to have found them!"

"Colm has been great. We originally hired to to repair some weatherstripping that blew off the house during a storm, and he was so prompt and so good that we've hired him for much bigger project since -- and now our neighbors are calling him, too. Strongly recommend."

"Paulo did an excellent job, but more importantly, he showed up when he said he would and there were no "surprises." A very nice man and a professional. We will be hiring him for several more projects, including some carpentry/repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

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.
