"Platinum Painting is a very professional, knowledgeable and passionate company. They provided updates as the job progressed and always communicate any issues or concerns they find during job. They have a network of professional who will come make any repairs to unforeseen issues during job. I met with and received over 15 different quotes from painting companies in the OBX and Platinum Painting wasn't the lowest or highest quote but their knowledge and passion for doing a professional job sold me. Best decision I could of made."

"We hired J & T for all new siding, decks, and doors and windows in our house near the beach. We talked to three contractors and they were the cheapest with all three using the same materials for the project. J & T did an amazing job. The house looks great. I HIGHLY recommend them for any work you need done to your home."

"Everything about this company is top notch. They started the work several weeks ahead of schedule and finished in less time than expected. They treated the project like it was their own and offered suggestions to keep the cost down. Since I donâ t live in the area they kept me updated on the progress with pictures and kept in constant contact. Never had to wait for a return call. Mike is the best. On the day he came by to look at what needed to be done and provide an estimate, he saw that some of our boards on our back deck steps were loose. His comment was, â I donâ t want to anyone to get hurt so let me just fix that now.â And he did. And that had nothing to so with our initial project. He is the sweetest man and very trustworthy. I highly recommend Happy House Home Improvement for any project you may have. One of the comments he said to me on his initial visit is that he wants to be the company that we go to for any work that needs to be done. Well thatâ s a given. They did a beautiful job and I will certainly use them on future projects. Well done Mike and thank you."

"I have to say that Boyce and his crew were amazing from the very beginning until the finish. All the other contractors I had come out asked me what I wanted to do and Boyce assessed the situation with my deck and told me what we needed to do. I had two other contractors from angis list out and neither even considered these things that needed to be addressed. Once we discussed all estimates and contractors Boyce and Gault services was the one to go with. Now that the project is complete we couldn’t be more satisfied with the work they did. I can honestly tell you that not one contractor would have done remotely close To what they did. It is an amazing job and we are extremely happy!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.
