Q: Do I need permission to add a balcony?

• <div><p>Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer. </p></div>

Q: Where are most load-bearing walls located?

• <div><p>Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.</p></div>

Q: How tall is a standard Cape Cod house?

• <div><p>Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Is framing a basement challenging?

• <div><p>While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That&rsquo;s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation. </p></div>

Q: Do you need permission to remove a load-bearing wall?

• <div><p>Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you&rsquo;ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you&rsquo;re in compliance with all applicable regulations.</p></div>

Hello,\n\nMy name is Adam. \n\nI just started my own LLC doing carpentry. I’ve done carpentry throughout my life, and professionally for three years. I have also worked as a fireman, and rock climbing guide, a painter, and a cobbler. I enjoy using really big saws (of all kinds, chainsaws included) and working with big pieces of timber. I love making my work clean and precise. I also enjoy making big oil paintings and stretching my own canvases. Angi asked me to write a little about myself. How’s that?
