"This was my first time hiring this company and was really impressed by their work. They were here on the scheduled day & on time to complete the job. They were courteous and careful not to get any paint on the floors as they used drop cloths. After the job was completed, they cleaned up and were gone. Happy to have found this company. We will hire them again."

"He hired Tom Harrop to install kitchen cabinets and a heater under the kitchen sink, vinal flooring, plastering in a small area, add ceiling lighting and a shiplap ceiling. Once the work was done I asked Tom to do a walk through and he refused saying he stood behind his empoyees work. Here are the PROs and CONs. PROs: 1.) work was completed in a timely fashion 2) they did a beautiful job on the shiplap ceiling and lighting. CONs: 1) The brand new white cabinets had some nicks requiring paint touch up. 2) Terrible job on the floors! Uneven spots, lengths are uneven at the edges, gaps showing, no finish work. Terrible job!! 3) plastering looks like it wasn't even done! And there is some peeling of paint on the plaster job. Terrible job!!! 4) we were promised and paid for an under the kitchen sink heater which we never received. Called multiple times with no response. Lesson learned, will never use Tom Harrop again!!"

"After performing demo workout, our previous contractor took our $$ and ran. Because of this, we were too spooked to hire another “con”tracor and decided to try a service with a good reputation and warranty. I can not recommend ACE more highly. Our “handyman" Juan was skilled and super knowledgable with the HUGE project he was thrown into. He was on time, efficient and just a joy to deal with! By himself, Juan cleaned up the prior demo area, properly sealed the shower, installed a new shower bench/curbs and repaired the wall…he did everything but the painting, which we took care of. What a worker! Thank you so much Juan and ACE Handyman Services. We will certainly be working with you again!"

"We recently hired Custom Construction Services LLC for an interior painting project in my home, including painting our kitchen island cabinets, and installing 2 doors and an attic vent. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Derek took time to go over our plans, provided us with sound advice when needed, and sent estimates promptly. He was in constant communication throughout the whole process. Derek accommodated our last-minute requests, adjusted our quotes, and promptly addressed our questions or concerns over the phone. Derek’s team was incredibly professional and punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. They took great care to protect my floors, ensuring that everything was covered and safe from any paint splatters. Their attention to detail was impeccable; every wall (including ceiling and trim in some rooms) and cabinet was painted with precision, leaving no streaks or missed spots. Clean-up was thorough, leaving my home spotless and the walls, especially our kitchen island cabinets, looking absolutely stunning. The final result exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for top-notch interior painting services, I highly recommend Custom Construction LLC. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Thank you, Derek and team, for transforming my home with such beautiful results! We’re sure to hire them again for our next project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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

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.
