"My experience with Jorge and his team was excellent from the first encounter. Jorge reviewed my highly detailed requirement lists and the architect drawings. He took the initiative to meet with the architect to clarify questions; managed all permitting needs; was extraordinarily attentive to the work of his team and all the subcontractors. He consulted with us when there were options to consider and provided a balanced assessment and recommendations. We have had experiences with 4 different general contractors over the past 15 years and found George's Construction to be the best experience with best pricing in this complex project of building a multi-function garage and entertainment space."

I grew up on a farm. I went to college. I have been a successful business owner for 6 years. Before starting my Contracting business I was a superintendent for a large glass company. I specialize in door and window installation/ replacement, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, and demo/abatement work. Certified for Lead Abatement and swinging stage platform work. Have experience in project oversight, consulting, and good old labor. I enjoy design and engineering challenges, custom built and artistic projects but give the same attention to detail on the plain design jobs. I am probably too honest to get rich doing contract work, but i think that is something to be proud of. Im hardworking and resourceful making me a 1st choice for your next project.. I do consultation and oversight of many types of Contracting and construction jobs. My insight and experience across the board make me a valuable asset to customers who want the most for the money.

I have been in residential renovation for 10 years, working for contractors and real esate investors. I was financially able to start my own company 3 years ago buying run down houses in Louisville and flipping them, while still doing subcontract work for clients I used to work for. Now I have the financial freedom to help individual clients renovate their own homes which has been even more rewarding for me.\nI love what I do and I respect my clients homes as if they were my own. I take pride in doing high quality work at a very reasonable price. The biggest reason for the switch to individual home owners is seeing so many contractors gouging their clients and doing substandard work.\nI am still flipping houses as my main business so I am only taking on smaller renovation jobs at the moment. bathroom, kitchen, basement finishing, tile, flooring, small plumbing and electric jobs\ncall me for a free quote today

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
