"Flo arrived on time as scheduled for the project. All necessary supplies were on hand. He and his associate worked smoothly together. The project consisted of replacing 11 steps and risers and all stair trim. Flo completed the carpentry part in one day. His painters came the next day and applied 2 coats of paint. The porch looks great. The project price was fair and competitive. Not only are we 100% satisfied with Osman Carpentry, but we are scheduled to have them complete another 3 projects for us and probably a 4th project after that. You will be glad you hired them. It was a pleasure doing business with them."

"I want to rate this company higher than 5 stars! The painting and carpentry work was expertly and enthusiastically done. To my friends, I described the painter as a painter/artist I am beyond pleased with the work performed by Toro Carpentry LLC. I was immediately impressed with The the owner, Jaime Arriga. He understood exactly what was needed. I highly recommend this company. Ten stars on a five star scale."

"Jose is very accommodating- thorough- I wanted two shelves attached to my kitchen soffit to salt and pepper shakers in my kitchen- he measured very carefully, painted the wood and they were placed with precision- Jose is kind and when he was going to need an extra day to complete he gave me enough notice- he cleaned up and I would highly recommend him for all your carpentry needs."

"We were renovating a floor in a mid-century modern home in Glencoe. The team was incredibly professional, did an amazing job. More importantly, they were fun to have around and didn't get indignant when I asked some stupid questions. I hired them again and will do so in the future."

"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"Marcia was our designer, and she was wonderful to work with! Professional from the start, flexible, and always receptive and responsive. The installers were great as well, always arriving within the designated window. They were also professional and friendly! We can't wait to do our pantry and nursery closet! We will definitely be using Closet OS again! Thank you for transforming our rooms and giving us great storage space!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

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
