"Jorge was great. He went above and beyond. I needed an aluminum garage repainted. Other companies wanted to just pressure wash it and paint. Jorge sanded to bare metal, primed it then repainted. Highly recommended. Out of 10 stars, he’s a 12."

C V Hardwood Flooring Co is a flooring contractor that offers about 25 years of experience and provides sub-floor installation, wood floor polishing, linoleum flooring and more to Chicago and the surrounding neighborhoods.

"Vasile is the best. Dedicated, hard-working, great at communicating, and honest. He's a master at his craft and we couldn't be happier with the results of his work. He and his team removed carpet from the upstairs of our home and refinished the original maple hardwood floors. They ran into a couple of challenges along the way, one example being large missing sections in each room where the original floor vents had been which they replaced with old maple that blends seamlessly. They handled everything with great care and attention to detail and the floors look amazing now. We are so thankful we found Vasile and cannot recommend him highly enough. He really cares about his craft and takes the time to get it right. He also seems like a really kind person, good-humored and pleasant to work with. His assistant Ed was great too."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage. 

Poured concrete is one of the best bases for a carport. You'll get one of the biggest bangs for your buck with concrete, thanks to its durability. At the same time, if concrete isn't in your budget, it might not be the best base for your installation. Dirt foundations, gravel foundations, and permeable pavers work in a crunch and can be long-lasting without the higher price tag of poured concrete.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

Many providers assist with obtaining necessary permits. Confirm with your contractor.
