"It was perfect! They had to replace butcher block countertops that had been incorrectly installed by another company. They came out and gave an estimate and had samples of wood to choose from and gave options for the installation on the edges, etc. They show up when they are scheduled to for all appointments and they explain what they are going to do and how to care for the counters after installation. Exceptional people to work with!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

"I had an excellent experience with this carpentry company. They came out to repair my subfloor and joists, and the quality of their work was fantastic. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way. I also really appreciated how respectful and courteous they were in my home. The repairs were done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dependable, skilled carpentry work!"

"Carlos did the quote for the paneling, chair rail, and painting the first floor of my house. He came for a quote promptly on Monday after my Saturday inquiry. He and his team came in, did the job right, exactly to our specifications. He worked efficiently and politely. He also pivoted mid-job with a reasonable price increase for the added labor of a tweak my wife needed added. House looks great. Very worth the price he quoted for excellent services rendered. We’ll be using him to do our herringbone subway tile backsplash next! Thanks, Carlos!"

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
