"Emilio with 614 Drywall was great to work with and delivered a great product. I had them tape, mud, and texture some walls that only had drywall hung and needed repairs. They fixed everything and made it look beautiful. Emilio even personally came by to fix a couple small adjustments that i requested 2 weeks after the job was done. I would highly recommend!"

"Levi and his crew did an amazing job repairing our decks and replacing our rail caps. They also redid the frame of our pergola and added a new metal roof. He is very knowledgeable at what he does and his work is precise and thorough. We are very happy with the results."

"I hired Bruce at Live Edge Vail to create a custom, live edge bar top to replace an existing counter in a clients new home in Steamboat Springs. We had been working with another vendor who opted out of the project after going back and forth for several weeks. As disappointed as we were in that situation it really all worked out to our benefit when we found Bruce. He was extremely professional, had an abundance of expertise and created exactly what I had envisioned for my client. Bruce worked within our time frame and installed within several weeks of our initial consultation. The end result is a stunning centerpiece to the room and I have a very appreciative and happy client. Honestly, could not recommend Bruce and Live Edge Vail enough."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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
