"Kevin is a very kind and good carpenter. He tries to do the best job possible for what he has to work with. In our case the foundation was bad so there was limited possibilities he had to work with."

"This started out as a water leak in the bathroom that ended up wrecking the floor and drywall. Which caused me to involve my insurance company. I had to get numerous estimates which most of the companies said they couldn't match the drywall to the original and John Erwin Construction even refused to come out because they were "too busy". Dennis was the first contractor to get the insurance agent to respond to me in a timely manner. We had the bathroom repaired with a new tub and backing which was nicer then our original. The drywall was matched perfectly. We could barely tell the difference even without painting. The flooring looks great. We did have a slow down because of a manufacturer defect in the flooring but was kept notified of progress and time frame during the wait. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Very helpful and easy to deal with."

"Dean and crew did an absolutely amazing job building an A framed patio cover to support year round grilling and summer shade needs. Dean provided a detailed quote so I knew he understood our vision for the project. He provided timely communication throughout. He took his time to ensure the project was completed professionally. They cleaned up the job site every afternoon before leaving. The quality of craftsmanship was excellent and they replaced additional siding on the back of the house so the project flowed smoothly with the existing structure. We are extremely satisfied and will not hesitate to hire Dean and Opportunity Construction for our next remodel project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.
