"Crown Home Improvement did a great job. Very professional and top-notch communication. They were on the job site within a week. I had my deck repaired and painted, fascia replaced and painted on the side of the house, repair and cleaning of gutters, painting the trim on three windows, and they repaired, replaced trim and painted some decorative shutters. 10/10 work. I would recommend them to family and friends. I will probably hire them again in the future."

"Phillip and his team did excellent work at a reasonable price. We had damaged siding replaced and the whole 2-story house painted. More siding needed to be replaced than was initially expected, but the original estimate was honored. I did not feel like there were any corners cut, and all of the workers were very neat and respectful of the space. I would definitely work with Phillip and his team again."

"Tree Line Design and Landscape did a fabulous job for us!! Our yard needed soil, sod and drainage. They filled in all areas where the soil had eroded, fixed our drainage issues and laid sod. There was a bit of a delay in finishing the job because we didn’t initially have enough sod to complete the job in the time originally estimated. Some of the first batch of sod wasn’t as good as she was used to and we didn’t have enough to complete it. Patricia made sure the vendor made good with the last batch received and it was all absolutely gorgeous!! We even had enough left over (which we had hoped for) to give to our neighbor and Patricia and her crew laid it for him. The job was completed a few days later than initially expected but, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Patricia also recommended some pine straw to put around the trees in our yard which creates a beautiful contrast of color. Highly recommend this group!! They will create a beautiful yard for you!!!"

"Fred surpassed my expectations. He has the dexterity of a surgeon when it comes to carpentry. His finished work is neat and complete. I was impressed with the quality of the tools he works with. They are all top of the line, and he knows how to use them. He was very respectful and displayed good character. His concern for detail was obvious. Cleaning up during and after his work was another plus. I definitely would recommend Fred for any job that is within the field of his expertise. He has great knowledge and insight. Fred is a true professional."

"Jeff is by far the best contractor we have ever worked with. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. He was honest, on time, hard working, and fun to have around! He worked with our drawings and offered suggestions on making the remodel better. His craftsmanship is unmatched. We will not let anyone else touch our house but Jeff! Every day we enjoy our new master bedroom and bath even more and wouldn't change a thing. You won't regret hiring Jeff."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
