"I contracted for a rear porch rebuild and JT and crew did an awesome job! I was grateful that JT was on site to answer any questions the city inspector had about the rebuild. I was also grateful for the clean-up each day. Thank you!"

""My wife and I have been absolutely thrilled with our experience working with A&M Construction, led by the incredible Andy, on our extensive home remodeling journey. We embarked on a multi-phase project with a total budget of $300,000, and as we approach the completion of Phase 2 out of 3, we can confidently say that choosing Andy and his team was one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the very beginning, Andy’s remarkable patience has been a standout quality—he’s taken the time to listen to our ideas, address our concerns, and guide us through each step of this ambitious undertaking with a calm and steady hand. His design suggestions have been nothing short of brilliant, elevating our vision in ways we hadn’t even considered, while his transparent and reasonable pricing has kept us feeling secure and valued as clients. What truly sets Andy apart, though, is his personal touch. He’s not just a contractor who shows up to get the job done—he’s a genuinely family-oriented individual"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
