"David and crew were fantastic! They were very thorough, organized, reliable and professional. What we appreciated most was that David was a perfectionist, thought of everything and took care of little details that we didn’t even ask about. David, you are truly a joy to work with and an exceptionally skilled carpenter. We will use you for all of our future home renovations! Allison"

"Carlos with Red Bird did an excellent job building our wall. He was very responsive throughout the process and kept us informed every step of the way. When some subcontractors failed to show up, Carlos didn’t make excuses — he showed up himself and made sure the work was done right. The quality of the finished wall is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. I’d highly recommend Red Bird and Carlos to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work."

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

"This company totally exceeded my hopes and expectations from the beginning of the project to the end. From a very thoughtful and thorough proposal and vision to the execution and completion, I could not be happier with the work done and the care and professionalism that was shown throughout the entire experience. These are the hardest working group of landscapers I have ever seen- they worked ALL day, for days, and did everything meticulously and with perfection in mind. They trimmed an out of control tree, installed an incredibly impressive and needed drainage system under my patio, and then beautified the space with the pavers and a rock garden! I’m so excited to spend my summers out on my patio paradise now!!! Do not think twice about hiring Green Heron to take care of all your outdoor needs!! You will NOT be disappointed and your outside space will be the envy of the whole neighborhood!!! Very affordable and professional and the quality of work will amaze you. Thank you!!!!!"

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.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
