"We hired Master MCG Remodeling to build a carport. Living in the mountains we had to consider snow, high winds, rain and needed something solid. We are more than pleased with the results. Dylan was ontime everyday and worked till almost dusk. Everything was explain about the process and updates given along the way. Dylan is professional yet extremely personable. We are so happy to with the results, we've asked for a quote to remodel our laundry and create an entrance door from the new carport. We could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended."

"I recently had a great experience working with Mark and Javier on a drywall repair job in our basement. Mark was able to figure out exactly what was needed just by sending over a few photos and chatting on the phone. It’s easy to tell he has massive experience. The work was priced reasonably and Javier knocked it out in a few days. They even went above and beyond and framed out a box to access our new sump pump that was recently installed. They even took care of replacing base board around the finished repairs. I highly recommend these guys and will definitely be calling again for any future jobs."

"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."

"Tim did a wonderful job on a variety of home repairs for me. He was thoughtful, timely, and had great attention to detail. He repaired drywall, fixed doors using light carpentry, and painted. I highly recommend Tim and Robinson Restoration!"

"Larry Emerson was very personable and accommodating. He did a great job installing rods and hanging my curtains! I’m so happy with how everything turned out. Bonus-he also hung a couple of heavy(er) candle sconces that have been sitting on my counter taking up space. I love them now! Thank you so much Larry!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
