"They were on time. Very friendly and professional. There were problems with some of the materials in the kit and they had to fix some of them to put it together. They were here for over 8 hours, didn't even break for lunch. Even though they were here longer than expected they didn't change more than they had estimate.They did a great job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing work done"

"Brendon replaced my kitchen subfloors and put a new linoleum, full trim all the way around, a bathroom bifold, and even put a special touch to the trim, so I'd think of my late farther who had worked in that same kitchen many moons ago. Brendon had some challenges with old school techniques, but worked long and hard to end with flooring, trim and doorway that was beautiful and I was pleased with the outcome."

"We needed to replace our old (of 30 years) large deck with a new composite deck. Communication was key throughout the project. Either through text messages or face to face. Thanks for being professional, communicative and easy to work with. The end result, is a great deck!"

"Casabella Home Improvement did an amazing job with our deck and front steps. Flavio is very responsive, thorough, and professional. He ensured everything was cleaned up after the job and even offered to bring a couple of extra items to the dump for us. We are very happy and would definitely work with him again!"

"I was very pleased with Gavin’s work, he did a great job! My deck boards were pretty bad and Gavin made sure the underneath was strong before he laid the composite floor. He arrived at my home when he said he would, he was efficient and cordial. He power washed my deck .. railings and all when done. I now have a beautiful strong deck! Thank you Gavin!"

"Fogg repaired my barn foundation by reinforcing the post and beam floor with new footings, posts and beams to reinforce my aging existing structure. They took the sag out of floor and were able to complete the project on time and on budget. John and his crew gave me great tips on some other items for update that would preserve the integrity of my structure for the long run, with no ulterior motive. True craftsmen, and excellent partners for maintaining my home. 10/10, would love to hire again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
