"The concrete was not level where the cellar doors had to be installed so Andrew had to shim and caulk everything to get the doors secure and functional. He also had to notch out both sides of the enclosure to accommodate an immovable electric cable. I will definitely keep him in mind for future carpentry projects."

"The job was to demo, temporarily support and then reconstruct a two story wooden structure supporting a roof overhang on a split stair structure for an apartment complex. It was a tricky project. Not only did they complete the work on time and budget, they came up with 3 great ideas to solve some typical retro fit issues that come up with jobs like this. They also did a good job cleaning up after the job was complete. They really know exterior framing."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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

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

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.
