"The guys poured a slab and constructed a custom shed. They took my vision and turned it into a very functional, modern looking addition to our home. They also built a modern looking fence to help us hide some AC units and utilities. They were professional and communicated through the whole process. Would highly recommend."

"Was hired for many projects, painting was just one. Trim carpentry work was tedious, yet completed perfectly. I had a wide variety of contractors, therefore Papaâ s had to accommodate and work around many obstacles. My long list was completed on schedule, but most important to me is that any issues I found, no matter how small, were resolved promptly and without question."

"The job was done quickly and efficiently. I will use them for any projects I need to be done in the future. If it is something that they can work with, that is. So far, the price that I was quoted for this project was absolutely the best that I had been quoted by anyone else. Jose, was in and out in about 15 minutes with this project. Although it was nothing major he still got it finished quickly."

"Mr Seavers and his crew were fantastic. They were friendly and professional. Mr Seavers showed me other work he'd completed and did an awesome job. The job was completed in 1 day and wasn't rushed. He redid everything the previous people screwed up and now my deck and gazebo are safe to use. Seavers Quality was a godsend for me and I will be recommending his company to anyone who want expertise and Quality workmanship."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.
