"As all the previous reviewers have said, DC 57 Construction is definitely a 5 star company. Lucas came to my home 3 times and helped me plan out the job. The job included: rebuilding a wood ladder to the upstairs loft, installing a railing and a new door in the loft, and adding shelves in the bathrooms. In addition, Lucas installed two railings for my back deck. Lucas and Tiago are both finish carpenters and they do excellent work at a very reasonable price. I am having Lucas come back soon to install a new screen door. Hiring Lucas and Tiago was definitely a great decision as my home looks much better."

"I can't speak highly enough about this company. When I called to arrange an on site visit for an estimate, they showed up on time and listened to everything I had to say about the job. I was given a written quote on the spot (something I rarely see from contractors), so I offered them the job. To my surprise, he said he could get started the very next day (a Saturday) and that they would be able to finish the following Monday when the deck had dried off. They arrived to start the job when they said they would, and got to work right away. I was concerned I would need to move the stuff we have on the decks, but they told me they could simply move them to the side and then move them back when they were done. They did exactly that, and everything was put back to its original position when they were finished. They were power washing all day, and were very thorough. When they came back two days later, they again went to work right away rebuilding the stairs and water sealing the deck. The stairs look great! They even added a step so the bottom step could sit more securely on the concrete (it had been resting on a cinder block before being rebuilt). They advised to wait 1-2 days for the water sealer to dry before using the decks, we paid them, and they did a great job cleaning up when they left. I wish all contractors we hired were as efficient and straightforward as the people working at Melvin Power Wash. I will absolutely call on them again when my decks need maintenance, or if my house needs a wash."

"I hired A&S Construction to frame a basement, install and replace windows and cut concrete floor for a plumbing install. In addition to doing quality work, Angel and his crew were very polite, understanding and punctual throughout the entire project. I have already recommended A&S Construction to friends and will definitely be hiring Angel and his crew for all future projects."

"Barry was great to work with! He responded quickly and we feel fairly priced given all the estimates we got. He did a variety of things on our punch list and completed everything, and then some, as he proposed. He was timely and cleaned up after himself each day. I definitely will be having him do work for us at our next house."

"Ed and Bob were incredibly detail oriented from design to implementation. Very high quality solution done in a short time period - worked within the confines of my very old home and did the work with lots of care not to disturb existing structure. Extremely professional work (end of day tools kept neatly, no trash, very organized job) and clean. Highly recommend for french drain or basement drain systems."

"As a result of our winter storms, I lost some of my vinyl siding and a piece of the rake. Alan was quick in coming on site to evaluate, to give me a quote and to repair the damage. I really can't say enough positive things about Alan and his staff. They did a great job and they are all very courteous, efficient and left the site very clean. I would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to refer them to family and friends!"

"Mr. Aponte is a true craftsman and professional. We needed a bedroom ceiling replaced and window framing, trim work done. Mr. Aponte reached out quickly and was able to visit us for a quote in a short amount of time. His pricing was very fair and he had a very creative solution to our problem. Mr. Aponte was an excellent communicator both on site and by phone. He always showed up exactly when he said he would. It was very much appreciated! Our ceiling is absolutely perfect. Now, you can’t tell that any work was done at all, and I am pretty picky. His craftsmanship is incredible. He also pointed out some problems that a different installer had made which allowed us to have our window re-insulated and waterproofed. That will save us so much money in heating costs and potential insect, water damage—he has a real heart for his clients and wants to make sure their house is perfect as possible. We will be hiring Mr. Aponte again for additional projects very soon, thank you so much!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.
