"Enrico did a great job. Very good listener and understood my requirements perfectly. Super hard worker, we are very pleased with his work. He removed our old stairs and decking, built a great frame, then his finished work on the decking and rails was excellent. We highly recommend Filipino Handyman Services for any carpenter or home improvement jobs."

"Nate was not only available to do the work on short notice - it was a bit of an urgent situation - but his work was fantastic and the cost very, very reasonable. When I called him for some follow-up work on the same project, he returned to get it done at no extra charge. I could not be more satisfied."

"Ryland was exceptional! Looking at my new deck, automatically brings a big smile to my face! I am so pleased with the work and the fact he got it done before my visitors arrived. I won’t know the full impact until the weather gets cold, but the ramp is heated, so if all goes as planned, I won’t sustain another broken bone! I highly recommend Ryland to anyone needing good quality wirk."

"Along with the paining they also did carpentry work on cabinets and doors. The quality of the work is of the highest quality. This crew has an eye for details in everything they do painting, staining, carpentry work. At the end of the day they clean up after themselves and leave the place looking great"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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. 

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.
