"The entire experience was good. Rob Carroll kept in touch about scheduling a visit to provide an estimate, and later, about when work could be performed. He gave his honest opinion about whether a few items on my list needed repair. The workmen were professional, friendly and again, kept me informed about the progress. When I asked about a loose lock on an exterior door, they offered to pick up a new lock set and install it for me. The bill came in under budget. Thoughtful and much appreciated service! I will contact them for help on any future home repair needs."

"I got the pleasure of working with the owner of Dahly Services for over a year while I was managing a townhome complex in Stanley, ND. He was by far one of the best contractors Iâ ve worked with. His work ethics were extremely professional and he had the best work integrity. I never felt the need to have to overlook any of his projects because he always got them done in a timely manner and the quality of his work was always over and above our expectations . He performed tasks such as electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring, as well as mainly other maintenance requests. He had an amazing demeanor was and always very courteous. Everyone of my tenants had nothing but good things to say about him and the owners of the property were always pleased with his work. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for someone who knows what heâ s doing and puts out good quality work for a reasonable rate."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Fantastic, Chris designed an extension to the bench seating to prevent the dog from being able to be seen or to look over the privacy fence. The design was fantastic and it looks good. It was made from pressure treated wood and in 6 months or so I will be having Js Home Improvement back to stain the extension and the deck so they match in color. I would hire Js for any project at my home."

"Glen from the O'Kirbys LLC was very easy to work with and eager to provide the best value service. Their work was thorough and high quality, yet priced very reasonably. Our project included pressure washing, masonry repair, painting, and some carpentry and they were able to do it all."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
