"Carl does excellent work and is dependable. I bought a barn style door years ago. He built cabinets to match it perfectly. I had idea for layout and shelves and Carl made suggestions that were respectful of my vision while making it practical and functional. I'm very happy with the custom cabinets and shelving but my favorite part might be the brick and slate flooring. I wanted a complex pattern that he hadn't done before; Carl researched it and produced a perfect herringbone pattern."

"I hired Tyler on a Sunday. He came on Tuesday he wasn’t able to come on Monday because of rain. He removed a chimney, and patched the roof. I would definitely hire Tyler again and plan to for future projects."

"Hired these guys to build a long half wall built out onto a concrete floor in order to mount some electrical equipment. Zack was very knowledgeable, and gave me a couple options for what I wanted to achieve. He also helped me build the wall in such a way that allowed easy access for the electricians coming in behind him, which helped save time and cost later down the line. Quote was very reasonable, and the install was done quickly and efficiently, with a high level of attention to detail. I was very satisfied and have recommended them to others who ended up having a similar experience. High level of professionalism and very respectful, honest folks. look forward to having them involved in my next big project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
