"I was in desperate need of someone to replace a very old deck, one that was originally constructed to partially wrap around my koi pond, and I knew it would be quite a difficult job to take on. So I contacted Angie.😊 and I was contacted by Jay Wilson. Upon meeting with Mr. Wilson, I was very impressed with his professionalism and apparent abilities, his many 5-star reviews from clients, and the fee he quoted for the work was more than fair. Additionally, after talking over with him as to what I was imagining the change to be, I was convinced he would do a fabulous job for me, and he absolutely did so much more… It is exactly as I imagined, and I couldn’t be more pleased!! He and his associate, Robert, were a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone… I will surely be calling on them again for help."

"Jimmy came the day after we talked and gave us a very reasonable quote. He finished the job, doing everything we asked, and the only delay was rain on the day he planned to paint the exterior."

"Mr. Taylor was very professional and was able to correct issues caused by another contractor. Any part of the job he was not able to do, he provided me with reliable people to come and do it. I would hire Mr. Taylor again without a doubt."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Patch of Heaven was very timely in coming out to quote a bid and following through on the work! Even though they were a few dollars more than another bid, his honest evaluation and feedback were sincere and responded quickly to my inquiries; therefore, my husband & I chose this company. When he came for the work, rain was forecasted for the p.m. Because of this, he came early to evaluate the land and speak with me about my wishes. (We’d had some rain the previous day & wanted to be sure ground was spreadable.) In the end, he advised me that if it were his yard, he’d try before more rain came & pushed off the work further. He worked VERY hard to complete our job before the weather came even to the point of FaceTime with my husband so he could see & made our requested changes. He was so kind, through, & willing to do all that we asked. We’ll use Patch of Heaven again for sure!!!!"

"My wife and I highly recommend this Company for new installations and repairs. They offer services at a fair cost, with well-trained Laborers. They are very professional, kind, knowledgeable, and not pushy. This was not our first experience with this company. They always provide us with great workmanship and beauty that is pleasing for many years to come. They were attentive to all areas surrounding our home and completed cleanup as well. We have been completely satisfied with their work and will continue to do business with this company in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.
