"My wife and I were very pleased with the job that Home genius did with the hardy board on our house. Hunter was a great project manager, and the two workers he had here worked very hard each and every day we are very pleased with the results of the project and think our house looks great. Hunter was very easy very easy to get a hold of and was always responsive to our needs. We would highly recommend using Home Genius and Hunter as your project manager."

"Iâ ve hired many contractors over the years. Iâ ve never hired one a second time. Bob Cimino is different. Heâ s the first one I ever felt was honest with me. He actually took the time to figure out what the problem was. Some bad caulking around a window was causing a leak, not the roof itself. He told me what he needed to do to fix it. He actually came when he said he would and did the work. And he was reasonably priced! This is the guy you want to hire. But get in line because I have more work for him."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

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.
