"We called LAR Construction for a kitchen remodel project. After talking to several other contractors we decided to go with Lar Construction and are so happy with their work! I love my new kitchen! It was a pleasure to work with Sharon and his team - they were very responsive, professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!!"
"I’d you are looking for a company to remodel or update your bathroom look no further. My remodel was an entire “gut” job and I could not be more satisfied. The team arrived on time and made sure to communicate any changes in schedule. Be sure to research and know what fixtures you plan to use because they move fast."
"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."
"The project went very smooth, the contractor was always prompt, showed a great work ethic, what pleasantly responsive to questions about the work being done. The personnel with Built Different was always personable and respectful which made me feel very comfortable having them in my home. They showed up did their work communicated as need. The contractor went above and beyond coordinating with other contractors providing access to the property when I could not be available and receptive to add on request. Most impressively the project was finished within the agreed upon time. I will definitely use them in the future as needs arrive."
"Jhony Ventura did a wonderful job for us! We had a wall between a bright, sunny tv room and a very dark, windowless foyer. Jhony cut out a 4 x 6 window, moved some electrical, then framed it. It looks great, foyer is now so much sunnier. Going to have shutters put up eventually. No mess, furniture covered, great experience and would certainly use Jhony again."
"Turner Home was fantastic! They replaced original standard cabinets with custom built cherry wood cabinets, soft slide Out shelving, a two tiered lazy susan, slide out garbage can holder, toe kick drawers, and under cabinet lighting! This was done as part of the overall kitchen remodel which was also managed by Turner Home. Allen was easy to work with, minimized the amount of time we were without kitchen access and made sure every cabinet was perfectly installed. We are extremely happy with the end result. Towards the end of this project Turner Home also restored a 1930s phonograph with a crank handle that belongs to my mother. Allen did a wonderful job of maintaining the original look while replacing damaged wood. The working phonograph is now a center piece in moms home!"
"I contacted Raven less about 2 days prior to having the work performed. Raven did not only respond immediately, and came to do an estimate next day, he had the best price and was able to do the work immediately. Raven explained in detail what he was going to do and why and I am very happy with the deck renovation. Will definitely hire again and recommend him to all friends and family members."
"Best contractor experience I have ever had! Steve worked with my insurance company from start to finish. He was professional at all times and did the job right and on time."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.
