"Kevin was great, he was very responsive on a Saturday and came to hang a new door for me the next day. The installation was more complicated than I originally anticipated. The hinges, deadbolt and door knob did not align with the existing cut outs. Kevin did a great job making the door look like it was pre-hung on the existing frame."

"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!"

"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!"

"We originally had Rick rebuild all new kitchen cabinets along with several other kitchen improvements. He and his work impressed us, and ultimately we brought him back to do windows, garage work, and recently he has completed a "man cave, including bar' in our basement. All this came at a reasonable price! Rick gets our recommendation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
