"I can't say enough of how much we love this company! They did excellent work! We used them for several different projects. From remodeling the kitchen to redoing our deck. Very professional. I have highly recommended them to friends and co-workers and would not hesitate to hire them again."

"Tony came out promptly and gave us an estimate which we received the same day. Once we accepted the bid, work was started 3 days later. Work was completed on time and he did a great job. Tony kept a very neat work area. We are very satisfied with his work and will definitely call Kendall Builders for our next job."

"This project started as a home repair that I soon realized was more than I could handle. The entire 2C team was very professional from beginning to end. The estimator made sure he understood what I wanted before finalizing the job and turned the estimate around in just 2 days. He lead the actual crew that did the work so I did not have to explain again what was needed. Daily cleanup was fantastic! The crew made sure you could not tell they were there when they left at the end of the day. Not one nail left in the grass. As they opened up the project they found more damage than originally expected. They made sure I agreed before they proceeded to increase scope. Even with the additional work the cost increase was well within what I expected. The final day I was not able to be onsite, I came home to a completed job that included everything we had discussed and a completely clean work site. 2C was not the cheapest or the most expensive but they did deliver great value and I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"The service went okay. They did part of the work but never finished the project completely. I needed them to install a dining room light, repair a broken gate in the back and to reinforce a light outlet to hold a ceiling fan. The staff did not show up with all the equipment needed. I emailed Michael to see when they could come back out to complete the service. He agreed to come out and since my last point of contact they have been very unresponsive and extremely slow at responding. He just keeps putting the project off. I finally emailed him to tell him to forget about it and that I would be finding another contractor for the work. The technician who came out for the service did nice work, but he did have his radio blaring."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
