"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."

"I was very happy with the assembly and the little jobs he did in my daughter in laws house. I live in Nevada and bought my son and daughter in law who live in California an organizing system for their garage. I wanted it put together for them and secured to the wall. Axis was so easy to hire and work with. He showed up on time, was reasonably priced. My kids were very happy! I am saving his contact number!"

"This past June 2017, we had the very pleasurable and satisfying experience of having Kyle Beym Home Improvements perform work at both our home and our rental home as well. We contracted with Kyle to do such things as: redo the bathroom in our rental home, install new flooring in both houses for kitchen and bath, put in a new shower and tub as well as new vanities and mirrors, hang new security doors, install exhaust fans for both kitchen and baths, repair numerous closet doors, paint various rooms in both homes, hang a new exterior door, cut, measure, and install new floor molding, and so on. My wife and I are absolutely ecstatic with the results! The quality of the work, overall, is first rate and we are so pleased with how everything turned out. Though we spent quite a bit of money hiring Kyle, the total was north of $15,000, we feel that for the amount of work completed, along with the tremendous results, we certainly got a more than fair deal in terms of value and craftsmanship. Kyle gave us a very clear and concise estimate upon personally inspecting all that we were looking to have done. He was open to our questions and concerns and he promptly got back to us every time we wanted to ask something of him. During the course of the work, we added to the list of things we wanted done but Kyle did not miss a beat. He gave us individual prices for the additional work and he seamlessly integrated it into the ongoing project. Rigo and Mario were the two employees Kyle assigned to exclusively perform all the work at both homes. We cannot say enough about how marvelous they were. They were professional, gracious, flexible, skilled at their craft, and completed all contracted work with passion and enthusiasm. In the final analysis, we would hire Kyle’s company again in a heartbeat and without any reservations we would recommend him to anyone looking to improve the look, value, and quality of their home!"

"We recently hired a construction company to complete an addition on our home, and we couldn?t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail truly stood out. The team took the time to understand our vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that improved both the design and functionality of the new space. Throughout the project, communication was clear and consistent. We always knew what phase we were in, what to expect next, and any questions we had were answered promptly. The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations. The addition blends seamlessly with the original structure of our home?it looks and feels like it was always meant to be there. The crew was punctual, respectful of our property, and kept the worksite clean and organized each day. We highly recommend this company to anyone considering a home addition or renovation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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. 

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
