"Pawel was fantastic to work with. He responded to my request with extreme promptness and was easy to communicate with as far as explaining the project and setting up a time. His workmanship is top-notch. This was pre-painted/finished crown molding that was more of a plastic than your typical wood and it was cut and mounted perfectly - no visible seams. Any questions that impacted the install he asked prior to doing that part of the work. Communicates well throughout the process. The pricing was very reasonable as well. Would definitely hire again."

"Sam and his crew did an excellent job on our bathroom remodel. Sam worked with us to get our project closer to our budget. Jeremy and Derrick were very professional, polite, and always cleaned up after they were done for the day. Jeremy went above and beyond finding us a door last minute and finding hardware for our tub that matched. We would definitely hire SKC again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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 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.
