"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."

"Ramirez did beautiful and efficient work in our house! They installed crown moulding, installed a new door knob and painted that door, painted windows/doors/walls in a half bath room as well as repaired ceilings and did sharp drywall repair and painting. We would definitely recommend them!"

"Mr. Register and his team did a fantastic job building my new deck. They handled everything—from removing and disposing of the old deck to leaving the job site spotless. I was especially impressed that they kept working through the rain to stay on schedule. I highly recommend Register's Repair Service and fully intend to hire them again for future projects. Give them a call—you won’t be disappointed."

"Mark showed up on time as promised about 8:00 am. One of the areas of wood rot was in a very difficult location with very little clearance between the molding and a porch support. The other was more accessible on a corner of the house. Mark was able to cut out the molding behind the porch support and replace it with PVC while providing for better drainage in the future. Mark did an excellent job. The repair is almost undetectable. Mark was very professional and efficient and wasted no time during the repair. This is the second time we have used Mr. Handyman and will certainly use the company for future repairs. I am extremely impressed with their people and the quality of work."

"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."

"Henry and his crew are beyond courteous, professional, and pay precise attention to detail. I originally hired H and M to stain my fence but had another emergency that Henry also ended up taking on. First, the fence stain looks GREAT. The team power washed the fence clean of debris, then returned after it was dry to apply the stain. They used the proper staining technique and paid specific attention to detail. They wrapped all items near the fence that could not be moved to protect it from unwanted stain. The job is VERY clean and neat and the fence looks great! I was offered a variety of stains and Henry helped me with any questions I had. In addition, I also had to have my door replaced. Henry was not originally scheduled to do this but politely agreed when he saw my need. He replaced the entire door and frame, including trim and paint. The paint job was VERY neat and professional and the trim replacement and caulking make it look seamless. I cannot express how grateful I am for their quick reply in my time of need and their keen attention to detail no matter what task they are given. I cannot recommend these guys enough! I have found my go-to contractor. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and overall outgoing personalities set them high above anyone else."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

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.
