"ADA Construction built the deck of my house and it was super beautiful, Erin explained several things to me so that my deck would look better and they expanded it 4 more feet leaving me with a 24x12 deck and at a very good price, they are excellent workers, they left everything clean and tidy and my deck was super beautiful, I recommend them 100% and of course I will call them for more jobs."

"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

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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. 

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.

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.
