"My deck was nearly falling apart and had very little usable space. I hired Jim from JAG Consulting not only to repair it but also to extend it and cover half of the deck, essentially transforming it into a beautiful covered porch and deck. Jim brought years of experience and expertise to the project. He not only completed the work to my satisfaction but also offered valuable advice and suggestions to make the design even better. By following his recommendations, the final result turned out even better than I had imagined. His experience, attention to detail, and professional guidance made all the difference. Now, my family and I can truly enjoy our deck in a way we never could before. I’m extremely happy with the results and highly recommend Jim and JAG Consulting to anyone looking for quality workmanship and professional service."

"I highly recommend Morales painting. Joel and his crew take pride in their work. I had a 23 year old log home pressure washed down to the wood. Joel then caulked every crack and carpenter bee hole that weâ re in the logs. He then applied two heavy coats of stain on my home and three decks. Then painted all the window and door trim. Plus my garage doors. He was very responsive and prompt from the first time I called him until they finished the job. Donâ t hesitate to give them a call if youâ re needing work done!!"

"I had an excellent experience with this carpentry company. They came out to repair my subfloor and joists, and the quality of their work was fantastic. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way. I also really appreciated how respectful and courteous they were in my home. The repairs were done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dependable, skilled carpentry work!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.
