"Jeff came out and did an assessment prior to replacing the front door. I explained to him our concerns about water intrusion around the door and he was able to address those when he installed the new door. I was happy that he gave me a written estimate with the painting both included and excluded (I’m doing the painting)."

"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."

"Andrew and his team were extremely proficient and skilled in their work. Always punctual and professional. I was so impressed with their work, I rehired them to fix issues left behind by another after seeing the high quality of work they did. The difference was clear and obvious even to a novice like me. I will need more work done in the future and I would not even consider another vendor or company. I will use them again and again and have already recommended them to any family and friends that would be in need of their services. 5 stars without hesitation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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
