"Sam and his team were excellent in communication and ideas. Every corner was precise. While working, he worked hard on keeping dust down and areas cleaned up. Was very polite and committed to the project! I am very pleased with his beautiful work and canâ  t wait to show it off around the holidays!"

"Nathan and the team were fantastic to work with. We had a somewhat unique project building stairs down our hill to the river, so we needed someone who had experience with non-traditional builds. The entire Schwartz team was extremely helpful from start to finish. Nathan helped design the stairs, with our input, and went through all of the appropriate channels for inspections and DNR. While the build was in progress, the whole team was considerate and friendly, and we were updated on the progress and discussed options as the stairs took shape. The craftsmanship is topnotch, and you can tell they know what they are doing. They even finished up our fence that had to be cut through to reach the stairs. The end product is beautiful, and I cant recommend Schwartz Solutions enough."

"Aritas LLC, cancelled the first scheduled day due to some of his employees taking vacation and did not notify until after I called questioning if they were going to arrive that day. We rescheduled for the following week and they arrived on-time. Overall, the finished work was done as discussed and were thorough for adding caulking around the doors to prevent water from leaking inside the house. Jose also repaired the doors on two cabinets as well. He mentioned that if there are any future leaks inside the house that he would fix it at no additional cost."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.
