"Master MCG was unable to do the job until April .However, Master MCG did me a huge favor when I asked if he could please refer me to another carpenter. He referred me to Jesse Miranda of Artistic Wood, LLC who was able to take on the job immediately, and he brought in a second carpenter (Joe Yost) and they did an excellent job, for a reasonable price. Jesse was also very good at finding solutions and tweaking things to work/fit, etc. I would hire both Master MCG and Jesse (and Joe) again."

"Canâ t recommend Matt highly enough! He installed a few interior doors in my house. From custom-cutting them to fit and swing perfectly, to building out beautiful trim, every bit of work he did was phenomenal. On top of it all, his pricing is extremely fair, and heâ s just a cool guy! Youâ d be crazy not to hire him for your next carpentry project."

"Highly recommend Shoeboot?s Carpentry! They did an amazing job working on my house. They were professional, on time, communicative, and paid attention to every detail. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations and everything was completed exactly how I wanted. It?s hard to find reliable people these days, and I?m really glad I hired them. I?ll definitely be using them again for future projects."

"The men that did the work related to the prepping the yard for the retaining wall, placing the rock and pavers for the walkway did a very good job and it really looked nice. I've worked in construction and building maintenance for over 50 years, so I know what's good workmanship and what's poor. The worker who did the framing for the new sidewalk, steps and porch was poor workmanship. Nothing was level or straight and I had to have the other crew correct the forms before concrete was poured. The guys that finished the concrete did an excellent job. Never let D&D workers connect the lawn sprinkler piping to your house water piping. They seem to be handymen, not real plumbers. Beside not installing necessary valves and fittings to winterizing the sprinkler system, all the copper pipe was installed crooked, under stress and not supported correctly. Overall, half the crew did very good work, the other half needs training."

"Had a great experience with Mark and his crew as we had them add a wall, closet and install doors to create an office in our home. Mark was communicative throughout and made everything easy to understand. Plan to work with him again for some other home projects we have in mind"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.
