"Renew crew knocked it out of the park and exceeded expectations! They built a fence and a deck for us. We ran into a couple of unexpected costs when removing the old deck of some rotting wood on the house. They fixed that as well and did not price gouge us at all. They also replaced a window and built a retaining wall that tied into our project perfectly! They were quick, and very efficient, but did not sacrifice quality. Chris, the carpenter is exceptional! I worked construction for over a decade and have not seen a carpenter as good as Chris! Rob the owner was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable in his field and had great vision. I seriously don’t think we could’ve found a better company to build our project. They also beat out other competitive bids and started within the week. We love our new deck and fence. Again we are blown away by the quality and attention to detail."

"We had them build a wheelchair ramp on the end of our porch. They were very careful to make sure the ramp would work for my wheelchair. They also made sure they cleaned everything up when the project was done."

"My fiancé and myself had been looking to hire someone for some much needed hardscaping at our new home but unfortunately I didnâ t have very much trust in contractors. We noticed the company Four Seasons Landscaping & Hardscaping LLC recreating and building a retainer wall at a house near our residence. We eventually stopped to admire their â work in progressâ and met the owner David. Right off the bat we were very impressed with his approachability, professionalism, and how personable he was. After we introduced ourselves and asked some questions, he started shedding light into my skepticism. David and his team promptly visited our home and listened to what we wanted done. He measured our front steps and walkway then quoted us. We agreed then David got right to work and he aced it! Working with Four Seasons L&H has been an awesome experience. The new concrete steps and walkway to our home look amazing! David kept us informed throughout the process and exceeded our expectations. We even carved our initials in the wet cement! The price I felt was more than reasonable, but more importantly was their honesty, work ethic and a fantastic outcome. Four Seasons L&H has set a standard I now demand out of other contractors. Don't hesitate to call them, they will exceed your expectations as they have for us! We will be using them again for future projects to our home!"

"Troy and his crew are great to work with. His crew are skilled and professional carpenters. We could not be happier with our deck and fence. Exceeded expectations in every way. And came in at the lowest price of several bids. Cannot say enough good things. This is the highlight of all renovations at our new home."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.
