Q: What factors affect building costs?

• <div><p>The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.</p></div>

Q: What are board foot measurements used for?

• <div><p>A board foot is a volumetric unit and is primarily used for pricing and planning larger projects where volume is a factor. Pricing lumber by the board foot aids in understanding exactly how much wood you&rsquo;re purchasing, as volume is a more accurate unit of measurement compared to square feet. </p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a garage and a carport?

• <div><p>Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage. </p></div>

Q: What materials are used for carports?

• <div><p>Metal carports are commonly made from steel or aluminum, offering durability and low maintenance.</p></div>

Q: Do you need planning permission for a carport?

• <div><p>In many cases, yes, you&rsquo;ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you&rsquo;ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don&rsquo;t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.</p></div>

"Mr. Howard is a very professional man and very clean. My water heater broke and I needed a new one to replace it. He showed up the very next day and changed it and took the other one and put it outside. All I had to do is pay him. And he was very good company and really enjoyed my visit with him. Explained everything to me."

We do roofing, concrete, fences, Flooring

"Total rip off..signed a contract to have my roof replaced, and was planning to get other done after that..took $ 6405 advance for material, rest $ 4000 was due at completion of the job. torn my roof, made a mess in the yard and all around the house, no call no show for 3 days. Multiple calls and messages from me requesting to cover the roof as we had 90% forecast of rain. The material he had delivered on site was not even one third (I was told by the other contractor who we hired to clean up his mess). DO NOT HIRE HIM. I WILL BE SEEKING A LEGAL ACTION SOON."
