"Austin responded quickly to our request for a quote and after we hired him he communicated daily during the project. The covering he built for our deck is great and we were very pleased with his work. We would definitely hire him for another project!!"

"J & D Construction met and exceeded my expectations. They were professional and hard-working. From the original estimate to the final cleanup, the crew listened carefully and attended to all our concerns. We had some wind and hail damage but the roof is fairly new. We had other roofers who looked at the roof and recommended everything from simply reattaching loose shingles to a complete roof replacement. J & D replaced all ridge vents and caps and hip caps, as well as individual damaged shingles and verified condition of chimney flashing and vent boots. Therefore we were able to extend the life of the roof for a very reasonable price. We have a steep and complicated roof, yet the crew seemed comfortable in working in those conditions. They protected plantings and other structures in the demolition phase and carefully searched for any stray nails that might become a problem in the surrounding areas. Therefore we feel confident in giving them they highest recommendation. Betty Ragland"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

It’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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
