"Touched by God is a very professional business with highly skilled carpenters. The work they did to install custom molding, trim, door casings, and picture frames really transformed our home. What was a 20 year old home is now a beautifully updated home. Diego and his team really worked with us to achieve everything we wanted and then some â - all within committed timeframes."

"Ernie was on time. He found a crack in the frame of my skylight, which was damaged we a different contractor replaced my roof. Instead of trying to up-sell me, EAD found the problem, tested his theory, and repaired the crack on the spot. I canâ t thank EAD enough!"

"We hired Home Masters through Angi's and couldn't be happier. Our concrete porch was pitted and cracked, and our front step was not ADA compliant and difficult to use, since I'm disabled. Jim was a pleasure to work with, and his experience was evident from our first meeting. His crew started the project exactly as promised, and the finished job couldn't look nicer. The men cleaned up all the debris, and you'd never guess that there had ever been a mess. I've never had such pleasant experience with any contractor as I did with Jim. I highly recommend Home Masters."

"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."

"Henry contacted me immediately once I put my request through, even though it was Sunday. We made an appointment for that same Sunday afternoon, he saw what had to be done, gave me a very reasonable estimate and went to work right away. Very professional, open minded and friendly. We scheduled more repairs for next week, which I hadn’t planned, due to his likable, friendly and professional demeanor. I would Highly recommend him to anyone needing home repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
