"It is tough to find good contractors that will perform quality work, are reliable, don't need constant supervision, and knowledgeable about the different areas of construction. Dan, the owner of Voltaire Engineering, is the rare combination of a good contractor that performs quality work. I have hired Dan to fix multiple rental properties for me with a wide range of things to fix from structural to cosmetic items. Dan has never let me down and his work is impeccable. It is a bonus that he specializes in energy efficiency. I've had several of my properties foamed in the walls, crawlspace, and attic to improve the energy efficiency rating and my tenants cite that one of the reasons they lease my properties long term is due to the lower utility bills. Dan also has an exclusive deal with a window manufacturer in Denver in which he is able to purchase windows at a discount versus through a store. I will be working with Dan in the future as I find more places that need to be fixed!"

"He did an incredible job. His prices were incredibly fare. I was very impressed. He even fixed our trash compactor which I wasn't expecting that day and he also welded a crack in our stove. We saved a ton of money and it's working beautifully.  He only wanted to charge us 75 dollars but we paid him a hundred because we live all up in the mountains and he came like an hour away."

"Of the contractor's we had come out to give us a bid on the painting, I was sure The Paint Doctor would be the highest bid. Surprisingly, not! In fact, the experience from beginning to end was top notch. Joe, the estimator, was very friendly and gave us many choices on the kind of Sherwin Williams paint to choose from. After he inspected the house, he went to his car & put the whole proposal together for us. We were concerned about our metal barrel shingles and being sure the painter would know where to step in order not to dent the shingles. Joe assured us that their painters were familiar with this type of shingle and there would be not problem. Martin did everything from the power washing to causing, painting and staining. He did an excellent job and you could tell he took pride in his work. We are happy to recommend The Paint Doctor to anyone and felt the pricing was excellent."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
