"I just moved a week ago and the movers I hired damaged my bed frame significantly. I found Tony through Angi. He showed up on time and fixed my bed frame in under an hour. Exceptional work....very professional and friendly. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him to friends or strangers."

"My husband and I wanted to do some much needed home improvements. I visited Angi.com and typed in my construction needs: we wanted to replace our rotting upper deck. I interviewed 3 different companies and selected on A.D.A. Construction and Erin Lopez for my team. From the moment the project started, his construction crew never stopped moving. Erin really listened to what I needed to have done. He was professional and courteous. They showed up on time and worked hard in this Georgia heat. While they were here, I asked for a quote on a second project. He gave me a quote on the spot, which was in my budget. Erin was able to work both projects simultaneously. I now have a beautiful front porch and a beautiful upper deck all thanks to A.D.A Construction, Erin Lopez and Samuel. I would give them a 10 if that were an option. I will definitely call on Erin for any future projects."

"Mr. Drew was very efficient and professional in repairing the framing under my kitchen sink. He responded immediately to my inquiry, and explained exactly what needed to be done prior to starting. He completed the task within a few hours, and ensured that it was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Start to Finish Home Improvements, Inc. for all carpentry projects."

"First, I want to apologize for writing this review so late. My window was repaired back in May 2021. This was the second time Michael has come to my home to repair my window. Michael was so professional and prompt. I must say after he repaired my window the first time I was so overwhelmed about what had happened to me. Michael gave me options and didn't try to overprice the work that needed to be done. He is a real family man with family values. He is serious about his work and cares about any job he is going to complete. My second window was a pretty large window and he handled everything with ease and quick. He repaired the wood around the window and even made it look better than the original window looked. Now when I get out of my car and look at the window I just smile. I will always call Michael and Superior when I need any type of repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
