"Great small business, ran by a local guy in Cedar Rapids. He tore down an old free standing garage on the property and took care of the all the scraps and demo. Had such a great experience the first time, I hired him again to rip out the old deck, and build a brand new one. Summer evenings have been great on the deck. The old eye sore of the garage is gone and grass grows where it used to stand. Will be hiring again for the next project!"

Customers say: True professional

"Keegan (the owner of Park Ridge Construction)was great to work with. He provided us with a fair quote for building our new 18x18 deck. He was very professional and kept in contact with us on when the permit would be ready, when the materials would be delivered, and he would be over to work on the deck. He was able to finish our deck in two weekends. He did a great job and our deck is beautiful. We will be having him work on future projects for us."

"Northland handyman services was the first to reach out to me about my project. They made it extremely easy for me to brief them on the project at hand and gave clear estimates around the work they could do and when. They came to scope the job right away, gave honest guidance and feedback around what was realistic based on my budget, and sent a quote and contract that same day. A day later, they were able to come and complete the job — exceeding my expectations. They excel at communications, timeliness and quality. I’d recommend them to anyone."

"Did a great job replacing polymer sand and resealing my concrete paver patio. I had to stay on him about getting the materials I wanted. Polymer sand and sealant weren't what I specified. But he made it right and was delightful to work with."

"Collin built us a table out of my uncles wood slabs that he harvested 20 yrs ago and also put some of my wife’s grandfathers old fishing lures to make it look like a stream. Very professional job and we absolutely love the outcome."

"I needed deck repair and new railings. After my first contractor failed to complete the job and essentially ghosted me for more than a month, I hired Phelps Construction to do the work. Less than a week later, the job was completed and my deck looks great! Alex kept me informed of when work would be done and most importantly, when he said, "The work will be done Friday," the work actually got done that Friday! Highly recommend."

"Gabe built a mantel out of wood for my brick fireplace. He designed & built it according to my wishes. I wanted distressed wood to match the beams in an adjoining room. He was meticulous in his work, asked questions & requested input on the specifications, & built a replica to show what the finished project would look like. He also reframed my screened-in porch and installed new doors in the porch (which included realigning the frame, which was off-set & crooked. In addition he hung blinds, shelves, & pictures throughout my house. He works long hours and follows-through on completing each project he starts, at a high quality."

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
