"The work was well planned and completed on time. Ariel is a professional contractor with a lot of experience and great at communicating. The mason on my retaining wall was an expert and meticulous. I have recommended Lifetime Construction to my friends and family."

"Both jobs were done exceptionally well with great attention to detail. He and his crew were professional and courteous. The job was completed on the day they said it would be done, even a little sooner. Will definitely hire again for our next project."

Joe also completed some siding work that was in need of repair and went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied. I highly recommend Joe to my family and friends for any exterior work that needs to be completed!"

"Jonathan has done multiple jobs for me. He has done full remodels from studs to turn-key and also simple jobs such as chasing faucets, a window, unclog drains, etc. He has attended to my properties since 2015. He's responsible, clean, organized and proud of his work, as he should be. Would absolutely recommend him!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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