"Omar Hernandez did exactly what I asked him to do- replaced majority of my pool deck and two stairways. I unexpectedly requested power washing and hanging gutters on my covered porch, which he expertly accomplished. Omar was punctual and precise, from beginning to end. I’ll definitely hire him again."

"I experienced a hot water leak in my home, resulting in damage to my downstairs ceiling and hallway. Calvin responded immediately to my request for a quote, was professional and kind in person, and offered a quote shortly after surveying my damage. He and his team worked within the designated time frame (for drywall repair and painting) and made sure that I was 100% satisfied with the final product. Great work!"

"A neighbor mentioned Jorge to me a while back when I was looking for someone to help with a paint job. I am so glad they did what started as a one-time project quickly turned into an ongoing relationship. Jorge has since helped me with everything from roofing and home repairs to random odd jobs I did not even know who to call for. He is reliable, kind, and takes real pride in the quality of his work. You can tell he genuinely cares, and he approaches every job with integrity and attention to detail. He communicates clearly, shows up when he says he will, and never cuts corners. Jorge is now my first call when something needs to get done around the house. I have recommended him to others more times than I can count and for good reason. He is one of those rare people you feel lucky to have on your 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.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
