"Very pleased with the work and look. Very satisfied overall. The estimator and supervisor Alex was very attentive, prompt and willing to answer any and all questions I had. The two carpenters in particular who did the majority of the work were excellent. Only complaint is minor as perhaps they could have cleaned up better when work was finished as we found many plastic labels that came off the ends of the new deck boards as well as a few random nails. Again a very minor complaint."

"Carpenter Dwayne Herndon gave me excellent advice on partially rebuilding my deck. His crew showed up on time, did a great job, and kept me updated on progress and unexpected issues. Very happy with the result. Would hire these guys again."

"We used Rivera Construction to reconstruct our deck, and we couldn’t be happier! Andrew and Dan are real pros, especially at a time when finding responsive and reliable help is so hard to find. Rivera provided us with detailed estimates, and they were very upfront and communicative as issues came up. They provided a realistic and true to schedule timeline and knew how to work with the town for permits and inspections. We will definitely use them again for our home renovation needs!"

"Andino Paining has a Network of other excellent subcontractors that Cenia can call on to go well beyond her expertise of painting. She works with carpenters Gutter hangers, sheet rock hangers, etc to do a variety of work. This is what she did at my residence. It worked out great. Would recommend Cenia to anyone. Would hire again."

Customers say: Super punctual

"I contacted the provider in late September requesting an estimate to paint some doors and trim, and to replace a dryer exhaust vent at my home.  Norm Reilly, the owner, set up a meeting with me on 9/22 to review the work needed.  Norm noticed that some of the trim work had some rotted wood, and recommended replacing this wood.  The other provider who provided an estimate suggested putty and other workarounds.  Considering the carpentry work suggested and the dryer vent (I only had the 2nd provider provide an estimate on the doors and trim as they were a painter) Norm's estimate was better for a better solution.  Norm told me it would be 2-3 weeks before his team would get to my job.  We had 13 straight days of rain, but they were still able to get to my job in 3 weeks.  A carpenter came out to take care of the wood replacement and dryer vent.  The following day (10/14) a painter came out to paint the trim and doors.
Everyone was courteous and did a very good job.  My one quibble is that the painter left paint chips on my front steps.  As I reviewed the work done, I specifically asked him to clean those off before he left but he seemed to be in a hurry to leave.  But if I needed similar work done again, my first call would be to Reilly's Handyman Services.

"The carpenters added eight shelves and removed the old clothes rods. First, the crew placed protective cover on our hardwood floors from the entryway to the closet. Since the weather was rainy, the crew needed to cut wood in my garage and they completely covered the items in the garage to prevent dust and wood shavings from blowing on the items. The carpenters were extremely professional and their work was impressive. The only recommendation that I would make is to ensure that the wood seams are completely caulked on the undersides of the shelves as well. The walls, ceiling and shelves were painted and the final product is truly stunning. Everyone who has seen the book room gave it glowing compliments."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
