"Chris was extremely professional and very skilled at his trade. He completed the work within 2 days of our first contact and kept excellent communication about costs, time of arrival for first consultation and date of service. The projects were challenging and he did incredible carpentry. He was very good at keeping the area clean and respectful of my home. We have already discussed additional work that he will do on the house. I am excited to work with him again and recommend him without reservation. He is a breath of fresh air for someone to really work with a homeowner!"

"I had 4 other companies visit and quote my deck project. I was extremely surprised at the lack of detail and vague quoting style. Finish line was quick to respond, the design and quoting was conducted professionally with a printed/email breakdown of material, labor and description of the build. From quoting to construction great communication, they showed up ahead of schedule. There was a code violation from the previous deck builder that was an oversight. Finish line accommodated a last minute redesign upon arrival. The crew was extremely knowledgeable & professional with proper work ethic. The redesign was a down grade from original design, however, better for us. Finish line did what was best for my family and not themselves. Finish line re-quoted showing the savings in full detail and delivered ahead of schedule. I'm pleased to see contractors conducting their business the right way. Great job from the entire team!"

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.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
