"Jack (Jacek) and his team were great to work with. We had torn out everything in our old basement to fix leaks. Jack helped with everything from planning out the layout to completing every detail. Framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, flooring, painting, cabinet installation, window installation and more, his crew worked hard to do it all and their work is excellent. We really had no issues, when we had any questions Jack addressed them right away and the whole process went very smoothly. No extra costs from what he estimated except for a couple things we chose to add on. I would definitely work with JK again, we love our basement!!"

"Chester is the epitome of honest, fair and thoroughly professional. He stands by his work and when unrelated crisis occurred donthe the aging infrastructure in our village - think raw sewage flowing into our newly redone basement ... three times - Chester responded each and every time literally saving us; working with our insurance company and thencoming up with a creative, safe and economical solution to protect us FROM the village system. We cannot say enough positive things about him, his stable workforce who we have known for over a decade, and the careful manner in which he listens to his client, helps work within a budget, and is reliable. The big question - is it possible to love your contractor? My husband and I respond enthusiastically "YES"!"

"I would like to say that this is a company that truly stands by their work. They don't stand around talking; they get straight to the job and do it well. They clean up after themselves, they are polite to the customer, and they always arrive on time. They are very professional and responsible. If there is anything you need them to do, they will do it, though I didn't have any issues. Elena, the lady who runs the company and sent the team out here, is also very responsible. She makes sure everything is done correctly. She comes and inspects the job before she sends the team out to do the job. They did a great job!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.
