Super Service Award Winner for Last 4 Years in a Row! Celebrating 33 years as a carpenter on Cape Cod in 2017. I am experienced in all phases of carpentry. I am self employed and do the majority off the work myself. I have low over head and minimal subcontractors. This will assure you of a quality, cost effective project. I will be there to communicate with you “one on one” should there be any questions or concerns throughout the duration of the job. Additional website: http://capehomeremodel.com/.
"Our basement was finished beautifully, ahead of schedule with no surprise added costs. Communication was great, we always knew when someone was coming to do work or inspections, and Jeff and his subcontractors handled some of the inspections when we weren't there. The subcontractors all did great work."

"Nick was pleasant, on time and very tidy. I wanted a dishwasher fit into an existing island. Nick removed two larger cabinets and installed one smaller cabinet and made room for my dishwasher. He left my house extremely tidy and neat. Not only did my island look great, but there was no trace that Nick was even in my house. I highly recommend Nick if you have a carpentry job you need done."

"We had this company build a new master-suite in our home. That included floor plan changes, tiling the bath, installing a new shower, a jetted tub and a new toilet. Only 3 months after many things fall apart. A glass shelf almost fell in the tub when my wife was in it. It almost injured her. Towel racks came of the walls leaving giant holes behind. The brand new tub stoped draining. I brought in a licensed plumber to fix that and he told me he never saw "such a sh*tshow". And conveniently Mike told me in the middle of he project that his company declared bankruptcy, so no point suing him."

Second story addition building services FAQs
For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.
Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.
A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
