"Professional crew of two, very punctual and professional.  Quality of work was OK, but not great by any means.  I would say they could have done a better job with more time, but given the pre-paid service package was for a painter for a day, there wasn't much they could accomplish with great quality when they needed to wait for spackling paste to dry before painting  (8 man-hours with a crew of two, only gives you 4 hours).  I would advise anyone looking to pre-purchase a time-based service like this to reconsider the work they are paying for, it's a better scenario for both the contractor and the buyer to pay based on a project, which would lead to better reviews and a higher quality level of the work performed.  Time-based service promotions like these either wind up costing you more than you expected due to the additional time required to complete the work you think you are getting completed, or you suffer from lack of quality trying to squeeze as much work into the time allotted.  Either way, it's not a benefit unless you manage the project well from the start.

"Charels and/or his crew had to make a number of trips to the job site initially to correct some poorly hung dry wall from a previous subcontractor that must have been hired because they were cheap. Charles corrected the problems and returned several times to finish up the smaller items that needed to be finished before painting can start. He was prompt, professional and courteous and he will be the first contractor I call on my next project."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.
