"My wife and I are new to Florida and we bought a home here. We hired Mohammed as a handyman. He was AMAZING! We had him install three ceiling fans to start. All the fans hang & work great and the blinds are straight. After this we asked him to hang some blinds that didn?t quite fit the window? he cut them perfectly and hung them! Later he noticed me struggling to hang a shower rod and he knocked it out for me. We also asked him to put up a mailbox in our yard, install a Ring doorbell, put together a queen size guest bed and finally assemble a living room tv stand. He worked quickly and diligently at all tasks. We are blessed to have received his help. Mohammed gets our highest rating for knowledge, job execution and price!!! -Denver & Maggie"

"Gary came to the rescue in a closet disaster. One of the closet rod supports had broken and pulled out of the wall in the main bedroom, threatening to dump the entre closet’s contents on the floor. The only place available to put the closet contents was on my beed which was needed for sleeping. Gary quickly made emergency repairs to hold the rod up for the weekend and was here bright and early Monday with the materials to make the fix permanent. I am confident that the rod supports will never give way again. His carpentry skills and painting skills are excellent. The finished product always looks very good and the manages to do any job without creating a mess. He cleans up what little dust and debris he makes and always leaves everything better than he found them."

"They were great. They fixed the mistake i made in making a piece of furniture. They installed my wire racking in the cupboards and assembled a coffee table from Wayfair. They were very courteous and helpful. I will use them again."

"Zach and John are really nice guys who clearly enjoy a challenge. They put together some Ikea pieces that I just couldnâ t get to fit. They asked if there was anything else we needed done, I showed them an exterior door that wasnâ t installed in a frame- a real mess. They proceeded to rebuild a wall so they could hang a new door, frame, and hardware. It is perfect. Theyâ ll be coming back to hang 2 or 3 more doors as soon as I can get the doors. Highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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
