"David repaired flooring on our front porch, replaced rotted siding and trim on the second story, including painting the wood with primer. He also made repairs to a window frame. He showed up early and worked all day to get the job done. He was very professional and respectful. I would use he again and would highly recommend him to friends and family."

"Charlie is friendly, easy to talk to, professional, meticulous, and methodical. He rescued our deck from the mess it was originally. He made the best of a VERY poorly executed initial build (we FIRED original guy and crews)! Would love to see what he could do as a new build."

"I highly recommend Mendez Construction!They did an absolutely outstanding job repairing my fence. Not only did they save me a significant amount of money by expertly fixing the issue instead of pushing for a full replacement, but they also completed the work with impressive efficiency. The team was punctual, professional, and made the entire process seem effortless. It’s clear they take pride in their work and go above and beyond for their customers. I’m so grateful for their exceptional service and I plan to contract with them on my other upcoming projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’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’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
