"JNJ exceeded our expectations. Jarred was very professional and provided excellent customer service. The crew who actually completed the job (Tyrone and Robert) answered every question, explained every step of the process and even performed minor work outside of the scope of the project to ensure customer satisfaction. I will definitely consider JNJ Fencing for future projects and definitely refer the company to others."

"Reed is an amazing craftsman. He built this beautiful deck for me but he has done countless other projects for both me and my daughter and son-in-law. He has painted, repaired drywall, rebuilt a fireplace, built custom cabinetry, done landscaping projects, replaced flooring and many other projects. He is kind, incredibly skilled and makes sure everything is done perfectly. We consider him part of our family now! I highly recommend Reed!!!"

"Young man arrived quickly to discuss small projects. He was such a delight speaking with him. Before all was done he repaired a light fixture, removed some broken bulbs, repaired and reinstalled a closet shelf and trimmed the hedges around the property. Would Definitely Recommend!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
