"I'm very happy with the work that I had done as well as the very fair price. David made sure to explain what was happening as he completed the project, and worked with me on the best way to address some issues that were uncovered as the old roof was removed. They showed up exactly when they said they would, and finished right on schedule."

Small jobs welcome

"Out of the long list of companies here on Home Advisor Greg was the only person who answered my call. All others hid from the heat and refused the job. Greg was the most professional out of the bunch and he had no problem helping me get the framing I needed done in my attic. He was willing to go up there in the blistering heat of the Palm Springs Summer when no one else would and he was more than happy to accomodate. His work was professional and beautifully done. He and his worker had masks on and were safe and clean. I can say that I am confident that any jobs that come up in the future I will look no further than Greg Patterson Construction."

"I had a couple of projects that needed to be done (stucco around the spa and enclose opening to primary bathroom). Jose and his crew did the work and I couldn't be more pleased. His communication and tardiness were amazing. The quote I received was surprisingly lower than what I was expecting. The quality of work that was done was impeccable. It looks like it has always been that way. Each crew member who came in and did their part, you could tell took pride in their specialty. They were on time and respectful of me and my place. When each was done, they made sure that everything was left in the manner they found it. I would definitely recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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. 

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

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

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
