"I will complete this review in a few days in order to do it right. Lets just say it will be a bit longer than a simple thank you. Would I hire Jacob again? In half a heart beat. Stay tuned for a dissertation on Jacob and Kevin."

"Timely, organized, experienced carpenters and reasonably priced! I've had many experiences with carpenters in my remodeling project of my existing home and rental property. I have to say Runion Enterprises was the most trustworthy and reliable company to work with. Deadlines were met, costs were kept in budget and skilled workers got my job done! Would highly recommend calling for all your home and or commercial needs."

"Leonard and Katrina at Traveling Hope have been an absolute gift to our family. They’ve done everything for us—electrical work, drywall, carpentry, and even laying an entire foundation wall—and every single job was done with excellence. Their craftsmanship is solid, their communication is clear and consistent, and their pricing is more than fair. No surprises, no cutting corners—just honest, high-quality work from people who genuinely care. Beyond the skill, they’re just good humans. Reliable, trustworthy, and truly invested in doing things the right way. We love them and are incredibly grateful for all they’ve done for us.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
