"Erick is a true craftsman. We have used him multiple times in the past 2 years. He has painted the interior of our home, enlarged our front porch and back deck, installed 3 windows, replaced 2 skylights. Just quality workmanship and a great guy to boot! We can always count on him to help out when we call him. Plan on using him soon to add radiated floors in our bathroom."

"Brendan did a great job on assembling four pieces wood furniture. He had to construct a wood part that was missing from the materials. It turned out to be rather complex work and we appreciated his attention to detail. Hope we can work with him again!"

"Sonny did a beautiful job on the build of our new deck! He came to the job prepared and was willing to put in long days to finish the deck in a timely manner. We couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of work he did for us! 10/10"

Nate is great at setting expectations, partnering on the outcome and design goals, and is transparent with his pricing. Highly recommend him ; and if the job is outside his wheelhouse, heâ  ll let you know."

"Josh was great to work with. He was very responsive, fair and followed through on exactly what was needed (drywall finishing) under a tight deadline (with a tenant about to move in) and with a great attitude and attention to detail. There was an additional job (building a firewall in the attic- not the best of conditions) which he took on even though it meant adjusting his schedule. I would recommend Josh as a skilled and reliable contractor with a great work ethic and positive can do attitude."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.
