"Doug and his team did a terrific job building our new deck. We are very happy with how the entire project turned out. Doug is very easy to work with and the team is very hard working. The entire team are excellent craftsmen. The flower boxes and benches built for the deck look great! We would definitely recommend them for this type of project."

"I had the interior of my house painted and new carpet installed in 3 bedrooms. The carpet installers were excellent! Very precise and hard working. They moved out all the heavy furniture and put it all back in place when finished. Work was done in 3 hours. The painters did a great job! They were very nice men. I had one area that I wasn't really pleased with and Steve had Maricio come back a few days later and fix it at no extra charge. It looks fantastic now."

"Adam was incredible! I hired him after a family member failed miserably at building a new deck for us. He came in, listened to what I wanted, and then built exactly what I had envisioned only better. He truly is a master at his craft, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help correct the disaster we were stuck in. Hire him!!! You won’t be disappointed"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
