"Lee, the owner, came to my rescue when a previous contractor performed sub-standard work and left me in limbo. Lee had already performed some impressive work in the basement of my house 4 years ago when working for another contractor; I couldn't be happier to now know Lee has his own business!! I will most certainly be dealing with Lee from now on, and have already recommended him to friends."

"From the very beginning, and throughout the entire process, Mark Michaels of Great Designs Inc was an absolute pleasure to work with as my business expanded into a new commercial space. Mark was extremely responsive and communication was always prompt and efficient. The architectural drawings he created were completed much faster than expected and the ability to view the space in 3D and do a virtual walkthrough was fantastic. Aside from creating the drawings, Mark went above and beyond my expectations as he sought out various contractors that focus on the specialized type of work I needed to have done. Also, on several occasions, Mark was sure to contact the town and other agencies to check that various codes and requirements would be met. It was a great comfort knowing that Mark was taking the time to ensure every detail was covered. This proved to be especially helpful when applying for the numerous permits. Based on my experience with Mark Michaels, I highly recommend him to anyone seeking his services and I would not hesitate to contact him the next time the need arises."

"Excellent! This was my second time using MTL Contracting and once again I am 100% beyond pleased with the services rendered. Matt did an amazing job pressure washing my house and gutters. He also installed gutter guards which look amazing. He was able to color match the roof shingles with the guards. My dryer was not working properly so Matt suggested to clean the duct work and what we found was amazing, it's amazing the house didn't catch fire prior to the cleaning. The dryer works perfectly now, like it's brand new! I will definitely be calling MTL Contracting again for more work around my home this Spring!"

"Everything went great! Ronda has an excellent eye for design, listened to our ideas and needs, and provided her own ideas that we didn't even think of. She also took us granite and tile shopping. She created a few layouts for us to choose from, and she worked with us to figure out which one worked best for us. We used her contractor, Steve, and his crew, who did a great job as well. This was our first remodel, and we were a little nervous about it, but they let us know how they were doing the whole way through. The end result is gorgeous! We were so pleased with Ronda that we plan on using her again for a bathroom remodel!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

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.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
