From demo to finish I work with the same energy to make the customer happy the same time I expect respect and communication

"Josef does excellent work - I would hire him again. He replaced a 15 foot railing in front of my home. He took extra care to match the color of the stain (including sending me pics from the hardware store to confirm). Scheduling took a more back and forth than expected but it was worth the wait."

Raylor uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Although Raylor?s work was good and he was easy to work with, he quoted a number on the phone and then attempted to triple it once the work had been completed. He said he had proof (a recording-not legal in IL) that showed that he said $200 a piece for 3-lights. I?m a well educated single mom who would never put my family and finances in jeopardy through a simple mistake like this. When I pushed for a copy of the video (and obtained quotes from two other people) he backed down. I felt violated in my own home. I felt like he was scamming me because I was female and my home gave him the impression that I may have more resources than he thought. I got the cost back to what it should have been but that?s only because I know my rights. Please be careful. It was terrifying in many levels. "

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Most wooden carports take 3-7 days to construct, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions.

While fabric and temporary carports last for just a few years, depending on the weather they must endure, well-maintained metal and wood carports can last between 10 and 30 years. In some cases, well-cared-for carports made of high-quality materials can last a lifetime. How long your carport will last depends mostly on its construction, materials, and maintenance.

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.

DIY is possible, but professional construction ensures structural integrity and proper anchoring.
