"Handyman JC was on time and courteous. I needed some help with my AC, re-caulking my tub, and a special carpentry project (I needed a removable screen above my front door to keep birds out). Price was reasonable. I have more projects and plan to contact him again in the near future!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Genjazz Building and Electric Company for the renovation of my bathrooms, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team displayed exceptional professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. Initially, I was impressed by their comprehensive consultation process. They took the time to understand my vision, offer valuable suggestions, and provide a clear timeline and budget. The design they presented was creative yet practical, perfectly aligning with my needs and style preferences. Throughout the renovation, the crew was punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean work environment. They tackled unexpected challenges with ease and kept me informed every step of the way. Their craftsmanship is top-notch; the tile work, cabinetry, and finishing touches were executed flawlessly. Not only did they meet all deadlines, but they also delivered high-quality work that has completely transformed my bathrooms into beautiful, functional spaces. I’ve received countless compliments from friends and family! I highly recommend Genjazz Building and Electric Company for any renovation project. Their combination of expertise, reliability, and outstanding customer service is truly impressive. I look forward to working with them again on any future projects!"

"We hired Streamline to replace a support beam in our kitchen that was too small. They came out and looked and gave us a quote. They started on time and stayed until the job was done. It took several days, but Mark and Harry were in constant contact and communication with them was great. We didn’t have to worry about the little things that pop up on jobs like this. They did exactly what they promised and even came back a few extra times to make sure it was perfect. Everything about this team was just wonderful. My wife and I are extremely grateful for their effort and would absolutely hire them again"

"Miguel was a consummate professional who saved our roof right before a rain storm. He came out at night to beat the storm and quickly and expertly patched three holes. He was very thorough and his price could not be beat! HIRE THIS MAN! You won't be sorry! Thank you Miguel and Aguilera Construction!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
