Q: How hard is it to turn a carport into a garage?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professionally installed framing?

• <div><p>Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.</p></div>

Q: Can I turn a carport into a living space?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Are there sustainable materials available for framing?

• <div><p>Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.</p></div>

Q: Do joists sit on beams?

• <div><p>Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don&rsquo;t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you&rsquo;ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.</p></div>

"For the second time we are so pleased with our recent contract with Potter House Group. Our first experience with Potter House Group was a new build construction project. They found us a lot and built us a custom home about 9 years ago. Since then we relocated into a 115 year old home and we hired them for our kitchen remodel. First we did our research, and we sought bids from several contractors. Potter House Group once again had a competitive quote, that we felt had all the "bases" and potential "surprises" covered. We also felt that the allowances that were allotted in our estimate allowed us to select quality selections for the fixtures, granite, cabinetry & flooring. What impressed us the most is that once again we worked directly with the owner, Lee, for the duration of the project. From the very beginning, Lee was professional, honest, and extremely efficient with our time. Our kitchen was completely gutted down to the bare studs, removing of walls, flooring, electric, and a back staircase. When you are without the hub of your home-the kitchen-meeting timelines is very important. They met all timelines and brought in the necessary resources and tradesmen to perform various scopes of work. All the inspections that were needed went well too. Lee addressed any questions or concerns we had during the process responsively. Without a doubt, Potter House Group will be the contactor we use for the next job. We are already dreaming of our next project, a master bath addition. Can?t wait! Potter House Group is highly recommended!!!
Thank you Lee for a beautiful kitchen!"
