"Jim and Mark were both professional and helpful. Jim contacted me right away and was patient and knowledgeable figuring out exactly how we want things done and the most cost effective way of doing the project. We had a big change on our end, and he took everything in stride calmly and professionally. I really hope to get the chance to work with Jim and his team in the future! Couldn’t ask for a better contractor."

"I was directed to Hibbard Home Improvements (HHI) by staff at the condominium where I live, as they had done work here before and were recommended by both the client for the quality of their work and management for their professionalism and scrupulousness in following the building's requirements of contractors. I am totally satisfied with the quality of their work for me. They were always punctual when arriving in the morning, courteous, and made every effort to accommodate my presence and schedule as I lived in the apartment during the work. The workers (craftsmen, really) were careful of my property and wholly honest. The project only slightly exceeded the amount of time it was estimated to take when the contract was signed, and for reasons that were out of HHI’s control. I engaged a professional designer to help me with every aspect of imagining a new kitchen and bathroom; he, HHI – both the owner and crew – and I worked cooperatively together, with no drama. All work done per contract was completed as specified and estimated; change orders and a few add-ons were accepted and completed, the extra cost for which was fairly and separately handled from the contracted work. I am no builder, plumber or electrician, but I can readily tell that the men who work for HHI are all supremely skilled in the trade(s) they performed for me. I couldn’t be happier with the results: The workmanship was outstanding, fully realizing my and the designer’s vision for how the renovations would look at completion. Now with each passing day I love my apartment more and more, and I credit Hibbard Home Improvements, along with my designer, with making that happen. I would recommend them without hesitation."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the 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.
