"Calix provided us with excellent and highly skilled carpentry services on multiple occasions. They’ve done several projects for us now, including replacing a bannister on our stairs (which included a new hand rail design), replacing a step on our indoor stairs as well as our gazebo outside, and designing and building a set of built-in shelves and cabinets. Carlos’s work is extremely high quality. He has excellent attention to detail and is very professional and timely. We happily and gladly recommend him for any carpentry services."

"AHI renovated our master bathroom and bedroom suite. Our bathroom is now stunningly spectacular. The bedroom like new. This family run business is very friendly, courteous, professional, and skilled in many crafts that include: drywall, frame reconstruction, tiling, cabinet installation, plumbing, vaulted ceiling repair, electrical and much more. Irshad and Nanda helped us with design options as well as recommendations for tile, shower door enclosure, cabinetsâ all at a great value and quality. Irshad's son, Billy, managed the on-site work with assistance from his brother Matt and Raoul to form a truly amazing team. Billyâ s expertise and vision made a huge difference in the project. End of each day, they cleaned up after themselves and were true to their word on prompt completion. Any minor extras after finishing, they were right back to take care of it. We definitely will use them again and highly recommend them to others."

"Alex gave a thorough and helpful estimate for refinishing and painting our very old wooden front porch. He used top quality paint and materials, took his time preparing the older surfaces for repainting and kept to the schedule. We plan to have him back for other work to be done."

"This company is truly exceptional - I knew from the thoughtful and careful way the estimate was done that we would be well-served. Our home is 100+ yrs old with more recent additions. Our project included carpentry, drywall, electrical, plumbing, exterior painting. Every aspect of the experience was outstanding- personal, professional, timely service and truly beautiful craftsmanship. Very competitively priced. We highly recommend them for any project - large or small. They will be true partners in maintaining and improving your home!"

"Very courteous and professional staff at Home Genius. Was very reliable company. However the time frame of the install did fluctuate a bit. I’m glad to say I chose this company looking forward to getting more additional work with them."

"Stan’s quick response to provide an estimate for my deck was greatly appreciated. His price was reasonable for the work and he was able to schedule me within a week. The deck looks great! He even came back to touch up an area. His work crew were excellent and cleaned up perfectly. Stan communicated with me as needed and checked on the progression of the work throughout the day. I would HIGHLY recommend Stan’s Home Improvement!!!"

"Most pleased. Would definitely hire again. Needed carpenter to build a footbridge using repurposed wood, install insect screen under raised screen-in porch, install oak handrails, fix the threshold to our front door, and add shoe molding in basement. JW (owner) was pleasant, professional, and thorough when he came out to give an estimate. He listened to what we wanted done and suggested ways to make it work. Scheduling was a breeze. A team of two came out to complete our projects. Of course temperatures were in the 90s, but they worked nonstop. Pedro (crew chief) built our footbridge based only on description. The results were amazing. It's sturdy, attractive, and durable. Kudos for great work. Other projects were completed within the timeframe with Kevin working on the screen and railings with assistance from Pedro. The crew was timely, professional, courteous. They cleaned up at the end of each day. All work was completed within 4 days. There was only a minor issue with the oak hand rails (needed additional sanding) -- which was remedied quickly after review of the project manager, Bob. JW was a tad more expensive that other bids, but in the end, well worth the price. Glad we went with them."

"Had a great experience with Rosales contractors. Hired them to paint a bedroom and complete several repairs in our house. They were very professional and easy to work with. Had a minor issue with one item but came back right away to correct it. Really appreciate the great customer service and workmanship."

"Mr. Chapman sent two of his contractors to help me to build two tacks and organize and store all of my personal items on the shelves in part of the basement and garage. The young men worked really hard for 7 hours non stop and they were perfect gentleman who followed instructions very well and they knew exactly what to do. If you need a handyman. I recommend them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.
