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."

Working on all types of remodeling residential homes and light commercial buildings including kitchens, baths, basements, siding, windows, doors, and closet built-ins. Rot repair and exterior trim replacement specialist with numerous major and minor rot repair and trim jobs completed.

"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."

Locally owned and owner operated with over 20 years of experience. We strive to meet customer satisfaction using top notch craftsmen and attention to detail in every project. Masonry and Landscaping construction, Outdoor living spaces, Tree service, yard maintenance and clean ups. Land clearing and grading and beyond.

"You can't get better than Wally in terms of quality, professionalism, and consistency. He removed all the sand in our yard, filled it with loam, spread seed, and built a brand new stone patio. He took the time to explain everything to us and ways to improve the project, but NOT for the cost. He helped us save money every step of the way. For example, he showed us where water was pooling and how it needed to be diverted away from the patio, which he did for no extra cost! He showed up every day, all day, until the tasks were done and beyond perfect. You can’t believe the time, effort, and care he puts into these projects. He genuinely cared that we were happy and cares about his reputation. This care is evident in the quality of his completed projects. He’s also just super nice and a pleasure to work with!"

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.
