"If you want a job well done, hire Ryan! He recently built a bookshelf unit for me. His workmanship is exemplary. He pays attention to every detail and creates just what you want. If youâ re looking for an excellent finishing carpenter, Ryan is your guy. On top of all that, he is polite and personable and ever so pleasant to work with. In addition to all of this, he is impeccably neat in his cleanup at the end of the project."

"The Pro was professional and his staff workers did a very good job. And was very quick too. They repaired 40 boards and painted/stained the deck 2 coats. I only have 1 complaint...I have tried to contact the Pro to get a receipt of payment and havent heard back from him. (I texted him and left a voice mail) also, the deck has 1 board that is not nailed down and is starting to warp. (I notified him of this too.)"

"Alex was extremely professional in building my deck. He was able to come up with creative and effective solutions for the deck that will last for years. When receiving estimates for the deck, I got more than what I paid for as his craftsmanship was excellent."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’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’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.
