"So out first small project went well. Just called Dave back for exterior repairs and staining a large deck and stairs. Also staining front deck and painting. Dave takes his time to complete a thorough job. No mess. Outcome was great. We have a large living room and hall for his next job. Easy to work with and fair price too."

"Large deck project, re-build/replacement of railing boards and flooring. Nathan and his assistant were outstanding. Nathan was very respectful, thorough in his descriptions of work being done. Organized in materials ordering and on-site placement; excellent clean-up at end of each day. Communicated via phone and text in timely manner, good follow-up to my questions. Worked parts of two days in pouring rain and very hot temps to keep things moving. I recommended him to my two neighbors. R3 is “customer service” in action! Very refreshing experience. Plan to use again. Thanks, Nathan."

"We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Casey on various carpentry projects, even a custom treehouse project, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to quality. The finished product exceeded our expectations—sturdy, beautifully constructed, and built to last. Even more impressive was the affordability of the project, especially considering the high level of workmanship involved. We highly recommend Mr. Casey to anyone looking for quality construction at a fair price."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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. 

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.
