"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 couldn't be more pleased with the work done by Hondupaint! Alex is a delight, vastly knowledgeable, and a true "go-getter" which is a rare find in this day and age. His employees are lovely and professional. They arrive on-time or early and get straight to work--and their work is extraordinary. I look forward to using Hondupaint for future projects and recommend them to anyone. DIY painting is tedious, messy, and exhausting. Do yourself a favor and let Hondupaint take care of your home improvement projects for you."

"House Doctors came to our rescue in the middle of a DIY project we were totally in over our heads on. They showed up next day, got us back on track, and turned the whole project around so quickly — and with great quality. They were respectful, friendly, and worked efficiently from start to finish. We’re SO grateful for their help and will definitely be calling them the next time we have a big project or need another a DIY bailout! Highly recommend."

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.

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. 

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
