"The biggest positive about Kurt was his response and professionalism during the whole process. His price was very competitive and he guided us through the whole building process and answered all of our questions. In addition, the project turned out great! Kurt and his crew rebuilt and replaced our two decks with Trex wood which should give us decades of use. We will definitely use Kurt for future projects and highly recommend him to others."

"Randy has great attention to detail and does not cut corners. Whenever issues came up, he dealt with them expeditiously. As this was for an out-of-town property, Randy was in constant communication throughout the project. There is nothing about the project we regret doing and plan on using Randy in the future. Highly recommend Castro Construction."

"I highly recommend Keigh for any home maintenance or improvement projects. He helped us with a wide range of tasks—from landscaping and power washing the house to assembling furniture and handling various odd jobs around the home. He was always punctual, professional, and incredibly trustworthy. What impressed me most was how efficiently he worked; I only had to explain each task once, and he got it done right the first time. His attention to detail and reliability made the whole process smooth and stress-free."

"Dustin Evans, owner of All-in-One Construction, has been our "reno" home contractor for numerous years. From sheetrock to Hardy Board siding, to new garage doors, windows, doors, and front deck expansions, the team has touched every corner of our home, both inside and out -- except the kitchen, which will be the last hurrah! Dustin and his "guys" do a great job with each project "tasked" and stand by their work. The team is personable, honorable, and HONEST. They often offer suggestions and go above and beyond. Pricing is fair. In an urgent SOS matter, Dustin makes you an immediate priority -- which is an invaluable trait these days. My husband and l greatly appreciate Dustin's work ethic/professionalism and personal dedication to his own family and ours. HB"

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
