"The father and son team of Scott & Chris Lindholm did an excellent job of installing our 8 windows and 1 storm door. Several window sills and frames had extensive rotting that required new framing to accommodate the new replacement windows. The Lindholm team had the experience and proper tools to accomplish the work in a timely fashion. They did an excellent job, were courteous and policed up the refuse generated from the demolition and hauled it away. We feel very confident in recommending them for any carpentry work you may need performed."

"I have reviewed Zzeo's before when they came to frame and expand our closet. We were so pleased with them, we had them come back and do a lot of things that needed attention. They can do anything, and do it well. Once again, prompt response to our phone calls, and came over the next day. Such a relief to have these guys to rely on! You can't go wrong when you hire Zzeo's!"

"We used Jersey Shore Handy Heroes for a complete interior home rejuvenation and the results are spectacular. Don’t let the “handyman” designation fool you. Michael did everything from repairing and painting our walls, ceilings and trim to repairing our custom bookcase woodworking. His work was meticulous! We were stuck on colors for paint and trim, but Michael is a true design expert, helping with selection of paint colors, carpet, furniture, light fixtures and accessories, all within our budget. He also handled our electrical, plumbing and mechanical needs. We highly recommend Michael at Jersey Shore Handy Heroes."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.
