If I'm not happy with it, you're not going to be happy with it. I like to do the best. There is no greater feeling than coming into a room, seeing a disaster, and then totally turning it around.

"David figured out a challenging project on a cabinet so old that its hinges are no longer available. He was courteous, professional and punctual. I am grateful that his creative thinking and stick-to-itiveness resulted in a cabinet door that is working again! Thank you, David!!!"

"I can’t recommend Frank at Curtis Construction LLC highly enough. As an out-of-state homeowner, I needed to coordinate a long list of repairs remotely to get a property listed quickly. Frank made time to meet with me during a brief trip to Central Maine, then seamlessly took over once I returned home. He scheduled everything immediately, rebuilt a deck, repaired entry stairs, and tackled a range of other items with speed and precision. His communication was clear, his follow-through impeccable, and his professionalism gave me total peace of mind. Thanks to Frank’s efficiency and quality work, the home was market-ready in no time and sold quickly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsive, and easy to work with—even from a distance—Curtis Construction is the one to call."

"We chose Conley, Inc to completely remodel two bathrooms in an older farmhouse in Belgrade. Their craftsmanship was outstanding and we are thrilled with the results. They were extremely flexible on the scheduling, so we always had a functional bathroom. They made great decisions to help us make the most out of some smaller spaces, while helping us get the most out of our budget. Great folks, personally, as well."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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.
