"Ron and his crew did a wonderful job installing my new shed. He came by and showed us his work and was very friendly as we negotiated a deal. His installation was great and he followed up to make sure everything was 100% the way we wanted it. I highly recommend this company for any home installation or repair needs. Just call Ron the owner and you will be glad that you did."

"Great people and a great company. Explained step by step the process they were going to take to build a pool deck. Each step was inspected and passed on the first attempt. All the workers were professional and courteous. I always like to see the owner, Joe, out there working on the job and not handing off the work to someone else. They went above and beyond what they needed to do by helping me attach a pool ladder to my deck, after hours and on a hot day. Unfortunately, they told my wife that they also remodel kitchens. Now, that's all she talks about. I would absolutely use this company again."

"It is an absolute pleasure to work with them. We recently painted the new building of our project and all the doors of the building. Swifthand Painting Company sent their team on time and quickly inspected the building and did a great job. We are glad to have found them! We will use Swifthand Painting again in the future."

"Pasquale both installed a shower unit and a tub/shower combo to renovate our two bathrooms. He was very professional and knew his craft well. He communicated to us every step of the way, even when it was with an exising problem. He has a great work ethic difficult to find today.We would use him for any home renovation project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
