"This guy is not just a carpenter, he is an artist. I asked him to do chair rails and under frames in our dining room, as well as do a coffered ceiling. I had no idea what all this entailed, but he did. He came and measured, gave me options, and offered guidance. The results are beyond what I hoped for. His team left the space cleaner than they found it, and even helped me re hang the pictures and put the furniture back in place. Excellent choice for fine carpentry work!!!"

"I have been employing American Residential Construction for over four years. Mr. Hodges and his team have completely remodeled my home in Euless. Inside and out. Ask them for photos. Bathroom and kitchen remodel. All flooring . Fences. Ect. We then had them at our buildings . Welding a loft in our office for formal functions. Very elaborate. Plumbing electrical painting and they did an awesome cave shower at our Dallas office. Then I sent them 2 x to Galveston to work on my beach house. Major framing and flooring. Chandeliers redoing the electrical panel and basically everything. They are honest. They have worked for us for 2 years non stop ..on multiple properties... .every day. Their team is $750 a day. This sounds high however bid work is astronomical in comparison. Mr. Hodges runs a small crew. Dependable. Honest and reasonable. We offered them permanent positions with our company. He declined . He has stage 4 bone cancer and I get it. He likes his freedom We will keep them busy as long as we keep buying buildings to remodel. His concrete work is also a skill he has done for us. He and his team are like family. You can not find a better contractor. I would 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.

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.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.
