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: What are the benefits of professionally installed framing?

• <div><p>Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.</p></div>

Q: Will installing a Murphy bed damage my walls?

• <div><p>Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals incorporate framing into existing structures?

• <div><p>By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.</p></div>

Q: Do joists sit on beams?

• <div><p>Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don&rsquo;t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you&rsquo;ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.</p></div>

Wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better tradesman. He was punctual, professional and let us know what was going on every step of the way. He did a spectacular job - with everything we asked for. We would certainly recommend him for any carpentry work.
