"Deck Builder of America did a great job on my deck! We wanted something that would blend nicely with our new siding and Cameron was great in helping us to make the decisions on what decking and railings would match nicely. The work was done timely and is of great quality. We are very pleased and would hire again. "

Doug’s Remodeling was the name of my fathers business, so when I decided to start my own business after working in the building trades for over 25 years there was no question what I would name my company. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge and developed many skills during my career. I’m confident in my skills and I stand behind my work otherwise I wouldn’t be working under my father’s name.

"Great communication and timely, good work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.
