"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."

"Bob is great! He I hired him to build some custom shutters and to do some random electrical and trim repair. His work is top quality and he’s always very prompt with his communication. Would definitely hire him again!"

"5/5 Stars Outstanding experience with DISO Design & Build. They recently completed an addition to my bedroom, adding a spacious walk-in closet and a comfortable sitting area. A huge shoutout to Francisco—he was absolutely amazing to work with. He truly listened to what I wanted and offered expert advice that made the final result even better than I imagined. Thank you for the great work!"

"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."

"We are very pleased from start to finish with our experience with Elevate Decks (Clint). He was our fourth quote and was well below the price points of the other contractors. Not only was the price much lower than the rest, but the quality of workmanship showed from top to bottom. Integrity and honesty is a must for us and he delivered. The attention to details was spot on. Since we were impressed with the whole project we decided to go with him on our second step down deck also. If you need a deck done Elevate Decks is the clear winner."

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.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.
