Q: Do deck boards need to be screwed to every joist?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping. </p></div>

Q: Do brick houses have framing?

• <div><p>Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don&rsquo;t have traditional framing. </p></div>

Q: What are the most common carpentry jobs?

• <div><p>Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. </p></div>

Q: How tall is a standard Cape Cod house?

• <div><p>Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Do you need permission to remove a load-bearing wall?

• <div><p>Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you&rsquo;ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you&rsquo;re in compliance with all applicable regulations.</p></div>
