"D's Fencing did an amazing job installing a split rail fence with metal mesh to make a large dog run on our property. The work was beautifully done and they were meticulous. The workmen were lovely and worked very hard. The owner was amazing and called us from his vacation to explain the short delay in obtaining the metal mesh. We're new to the area and relied on Home Advisor and reviews to locate a professional fencing company and we hit the jackpot with D's!"

"We started out with a budget just for the kitchen to repaint the kitchen cabinets, replace the flooring with porcelain tiles, redo the peninsula, use quartz for the counter tops, add recess lighting, and center the lighting fan. Into the job, based on Harvey's excellent advice, we decided to get new kitchen cabinets, have Harvey and his team build storage cabinets above the new cabinets instead of having a soffit built in that open space. We also had a pantry rebuilt by Harvey and his team as well. Lastly we had the peninsula changed to an island with cabinets added underneath as well. Also, we decided to redo the small (powder) bathroom on the main floor. Harvey and his team were awesome. He was very patient in allowing us to make changes to the original plans that turned out quite outstanding. His team always showed up early for work. The quality of the work was simply outstanding. Instead of half doing things like what we got with the Home Depot contractors in years prior, Harvey and his team took things back to the studs and made sure the things were built the right way. I now feel very confident about what is behind the walls and how the work was done. I will attached pictures of the kitchen and bathroom by next week. We are still putting things back into the new cabinets now and etc. We are extremely happy with the work Harvey and his team did. We intend to use them for a few other projects in the future. If you're really thinking about having work done on your home, I would highly recommend that you speak with Harvey to have his team come to do an amazing job for you as well. He will work with you on to provide competitive pricing. In the end it's all about quality work that you can feel great about. We feel great!!!!!!! :)"

"Francisco and Carlos arrived on time to set up the canvases on the floor. Francisco left and said he's pick up the painter in 8 hours. I had prepped the walls (spackled) and removed the furniture and electrical outlets/switch plates off the walls to speed up the painting process. Carlos, the painter, was neat and clean as he painted the ceiling, walls and floor trim and completed the job in the time frame that I paid for.  The walls and ceiling look great and overall the job was professionally done and the painter ensured that I was happy with the results. I am very happy with the work performed and would definitely hire them again.  I would also recommend them to friends and family.

"Though the original start of the project was pushed out one day, work was done quickly the next day without sacrificing quality. Project completion including cleanup done in a day. They have all the materials needed and necessary safety equipments as they had to repair the siding from the third floor of the building."

"Initially, I was worried about the cost, but after I saw the amount of work and time that they invested into my project - I actually got a bargain. We had to deal with weather issues throughout the project. Nevertheless, the lads from Battlecat Brushworks were there as the weather permitted and did an outstanding job. The heat on most of the days was horrible, and yet they persevered. Complicating the job - our house is sided with cedar (in-tongue groove) and they had to replace over 320 feet of siding. They definitely went the extra mile and we greatly appreciated their professionalism - from the management to their work crew. I would highly recommend Battlecat for any painting job - especially, if it involves carpentry! They are extremely thorough and do the job right! Their focus on providing top-flight customer service was simply outstanding."

"Greg is a very talented carpenter and a professional architect. Our deck was in bad shape and we weren't sure if it can be restored. Greg worked on it and finished the restoration for us and it looks almost like a new one now. Our family is very happy with the quality of work. It is always refreshing and fascinating to witness great workmanship. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he pretty much can do any renovation projects from deck restoration to kitchen remodeling to all the way building a brand new home. I am happy to say that we have already hired Greg on a different project."

"Tim was prompt, professional & listened to my questions and answered my questions patiently. His knowledge of materials and costs helped me get this project done well & in my spending plan too. My decks are now in great shape, look better than they have for some time, since Dominion’s very skilled crew replaced worn decking and stained the deck and railings. Our family can really enjoy this special part of our home for years to come now!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.
