"One of a Kind Carpenter was terrific. All the work was completed- even though we ran into some challenges, which they quickly resolved. I have an older house, and these were not anticipated with the job. I also added on to the project a few times, which they managed to do in a timely fashion, and the quality of work was impeccable. I would highly recommend him, and I will not use anyone else for my work now."

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

"Cory is a carpenter by trade and is highly skilled in all things house repair and remodel. We thought we had a vinyl siding issue, but it was a problem with the original window frame construction. Cory was able to fix the root cause of the water damage by taking an outside wall down to the studs and rebuilding it inside and out. I m so glad he was able to complete the full repair with high quality workmanship. He s reliable and is careful to consult with the owner on all decisions."

"The trunk was in very bad condition. Eugenio restored the outside and the inside, including building a drawer/shelf that was missing. It took a month longer than originally promised, but the results were worth it. Eugenio was actually recommended to me by another furniture restoration company that was highly rated, but did not restore trunks. While it cost more than I'd like, I was happy with the results.

"We were building a new house in Sanford, FL. We hired Luis to create and install a ceiling for our two outdoor porch areas. The ceilings are of tongue and groove pine and cedar beams. The main area of the second porch is a gabled area above an outdoor fireplace. Luis provided a competitive proposal and did a fantastic job! He was very professional with an acute attention to detail. Many contractors will just rush to complete the job, but Luis worked to complete this job as if it were his own home. We call the gabled area Luis cathedral! So many compliments on it. I would hire Luis again in a heartbeat."

"Jason Gliszczynski is AMAZING at building a staircase. I hired a contractor outside of HomeAdvisor and boy do I regret it! That contractor destroyed my staircase dream reno. Jason came and looked at all the disaster and was able to take the staircase completely out and rebuild it so beautifully. He did what the previous person could NOT do in 4 months in just 2 days! Instead of the nightmare staircase it was, it is now my dream come true staircase. My husband and I are very happy every time we go up and down our stairs. We HIGHLY recommend him!!"

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
