"Forrest and his crew were consummate professionals; they showed up when they said they would, worked all day and even cleaned up the work site each day before leaving. Their work is top shelf, and I would NOT hesitate to refer them to friends and family alike if/when projects arise. They will be our first call in future if we need additional work!!"

"From start to finish the level of communication was perfect. Russ was understanding of what I wanted for my porch and instead of trying to sell me on something different, he helped me explore what options I had to make it look its best. We replaced my rotted wood columns and railings with fir columns and aluminum railings. The job was done quickly and the end result is PERFECT."

"Nicole was very organized and efficient in arranging for the estimate and proving it. This was for painting interior walls and doors in my home. The painter, Henry, and his team, were very skilled and professional and pleasant. They did a great job and did it very quickly. We were very pleased with the end result and would hire them again."

"I had two wicker aluminum frame rocking chairs that I loved and the seats had rotted through. Cliff found a way to repair them so I could continue using the chairs and not buy new ones. He's very personable, nice, knowledgeable and professional and I appreciate he was willing to find a way to make it work even though my project was small! We definitely plan to call M&M Construction when we are ready for our large home projects!"

Customers say: True professional

"Mark and his employees were very professional. Mark was able to bring my ideas to life when building an interior wall inside my store. The final product exceeded all of my expectations. I have since hired Mark to expand my office, change out light fixtures and replace my hot water heater. He was able to work around my store hours to ensure the safety of my customers and staff. All work was completed in a timely manner. I will continue to hire Mark for all of my projects."

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

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. 

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
