"This is 100% our recommendation without them asking or paying for it. Tim, Crystal and their team did a FANTASTIC job on a very tough privacy fence project with a very particular customer (me). This was a 20' long fence that had a lot of horizontal lines, modern sizing and gape, and plenty of things that could have gone wrong. I found them to be very professional, reliable, accountable and really, really, really accurate. I interviewed a lot of people for our project and they were the most consistent. I showed up unannounced to one of their jobs, measured, checked posts for level, and talked with the homeowner/customer directly. Their experience was my experience, which is to give them a shot. They delivered this job start to finish in 3 days on-site. Couldn't believe it. They did a bunch of pre-work at their house over the weekend to ensure our downtime was limited. They can provide you access to see our project, which is absolutely beautiful. If I can figur eout how to upload pictures, I'll do it. Also- Tim has a background in garage doors and knows what is he doing there as well. Do it. We are very pleased with the outcome."

"Cesar and his guys were punctual and professional. They did a great job working with us on the design and build of our patio cover project which turned out exactly how we expected. We have already CMR to friends and neighbors and would use him again. CMR's price was extremely reasonable and much cheaper than other quotes we got. His cheaper price did not reflect with lesser quality craftsmanship. We are very pleased with his work and have received many compliments from our friends and neighbors."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
