"Clay and company did a great job on building a new fence for our yard. He was punctual, professional and completed the work in a timely manner. I would hire Hudson Home Solutions for my next home project."

"Wonderful communication, on time and prepared. He was able to fix several important items that no one else wanted to mess with, built and installed a terrific closet system. He is SMART and PRACTICAL! He also is not afraid to tell you if a job is not within his scope of work. I am so grateful to have a place to hang my clothes, and a front door that no longer has a 12” broken frame letting all the cold air in. I am very happy and highly recommend Billy."

"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

"I have one side of my house that has been prone to cracking since I became homeowner 12 1/2 years ago. I have had the cracks repaired to varying degrees only to return. I saw a neighbor that hired South Coast Plastering and Stucco and they told me they were very satisfied. William Stewart came to my home while working on the neighbor's and measured. He promptly quoted the work with a military discout. He included a few other items I requested in the quote. He seemed to cover a range of skillsets which I appreciated. He was the first contractor to suggest adding expansion joints every 12 feet to restrict future cracking. I had enough information from him to realize he was honest and experienced. I did not get the work done when I originally wanted to start but we worked out a start date in the spring. I was surprised at how many in the crew showed up to get the job started. Building the scaffolding, pressure washing etc. The crew was very courteous and careful with keeping the job site clean. The job was done in three days. Rather impressive for an 80x14 wall with several other smaller jobs. William came back to my home a couple weeks later to inspect the job (and give me a t-shirt!). He noticed some areas that need to be retouched, including some cracks near my front door I did not know I had. He said he would send someone back in the next week to correct the small punch list of items and fix the small cracks on the other side of my house. I have nothing but good things to say about William Stewart and Ashley Heaton. You can trust they will get the job done correctly and do everything they can to satisfy you."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000
