"I went thru Home Advisors, not having a clue who or what I should do to replace an older sliding door to an outside patio. After reviewing and getting bids, I went with Kerbal Carpentry. Thomas took my needs & information then gave me choices of styles in various price ranges... After I chose and we agreed upon the pricing, his work was absolutely perfection. He is a carpenter, which showed with the completion of the slider installation. After the job, I swear, it was absolutely clean with No debris. He hauled away the old door and I could Not be more pleased! We're going to have new cabinets built and Thomas Will be there doing the Job! By the way, he repaired a door that has been difficult to open & close for Years & its made things so much better not breaking another doorknob!!! I Highly Recommend Kerbal Carpentry!"

"We employed this company to tear down the original builders decking and replace it with composite decking and redesigned stairs.The workmanship was excellent. We subsequently had them build a storage shed underneath the deck. Cost estimates, planning & execution were very professional. The owner of the company is very willing to discuss alternatives to achieve an optimal outcome. The team are hard working and pay close attention to detail. We are very satisfied with the outcome."

"Derek was friendly and professional and his work was impeccable. He replaced my back patio door and my front door. He communicated with me during the process and got input when we needed a new doorknob because the old one no longer was a good fit. I would absolutely hire Derek again and really appreciated his work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
