"This was an excellent experience from start to finish. They contacted me immediately and scheduled an appointment to come out and look at what I was looking to do. After understanding my needs they created a design suggestion and I loved it, they sent me the design and price quote and once I signed off on it they contacted me to schedule the installation. They kept in contact with me, sent me the installers name and my installers showed up on time, was done in 45 minutes, they completely cleaned up and were very professional, polite and easy to work with. I was very happy and I would highly recommend them."

"Sam (AHR) identified some minor, additional work needed to do the original job correctly. Yes, I paid for it (a nominal charge), but it turned what would have been an acceptable drywall repair job into a very, very good repair job. AHR did a great job communicating, showed up when they said they would, kept the site clean, and worked to a high standard. What else could you want from a contractor?"

"Sadot and his team were excellent. He reconstructed by back stairs coming off my porch and then stained not only the stairs but my whole porch frame. He worked well with the Carol Stream building inspector to ensure everything complied with permt codes. He and his team were polite, professional and got the job done in a reasonable time period. I would highly recommend."

"They completed the entire roofing project in two days time. However, the inside trim work around the skylights has been delayed for three weeks. The good thing is that I've held back a hefty amount of monies to finish paying off the project. I get there are delays based upon who does what type of specialty work. The carpenter is scheduled for next week Tuesday. We'll see."

"Upon meeting Tom, I instinctively knew I could trust him. He attached an owl house on an oak tree 15" above ground. He used his longer nails to secure the house. He was professional, efficient, & very pleasant. I asked him to look at a different handyman job, repairing a corner of aluminum siding. He explained what needed to be done. I hired him on the spot!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
