"Bret Thompson called to arrange a time to come to the house to look at the sight and discuss best practices. He showed up on time, was courteous and professional, discussed the needed repairs Identified and solutions, set up a timely repair appointment with a quote. He told me who would be coming to work the project and when to expect them. His work team showed up on the scheduled day on time and completed the project to our satisfaction. The men were courteous and professional. Mr. Thompson called later to check on our satisfaction and to guarantee the work stating that if we experienced any further leaks after any future rains from the areas that were repaired, he would come back to address those areas without any charge. I'll definitely use them again if and when the need should ever arise."

"Large deck project, re-build/replacement of railing boards and flooring. Nathan and his assistant were outstanding. Nathan was very respectful, thorough in his descriptions of work being done. Organized in materials ordering and on-site placement; excellent clean-up at end of each day. Communicated via phone and text in timely manner, good follow-up to my questions. Worked parts of two days in pouring rain and very hot temps to keep things moving. I recommended him to my two neighbors. R3 is “customer service” in action! Very refreshing experience. Plan to use again. Thanks, Nathan."

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, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
