"I recently had the pleasure of working with Mollie and Catalino at Ruiz Enterprises to remove our old screened in porch and build a new deck and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and above all, stress-free. Communication: Mollie and Catalino was outstanding in terms of communication. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and worked very hard to help find ways we could save money. I was kept informed at every stage, and any questions or concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly. Quality of Work: The quality of work was very impressive. The deck was built with attention to detail, and it’s clear that Catalino and his team take pride in their work. We went from having a poorly designed screened porch that flooded to a beautiful new deck that gives us more usable space and more room to enjoy being outside. Timeliness: The project was completed on schedule, with no unexpected delays. Mollie and Catalino provided a clear timeline from the beginning, and they stuck to it and even worked with us as waited for HOA approval. Professionalism: The team was punctual, courteous, and respectful of my property. They maintained a clean worksite and ensured everything was in order before they left each day. Catalino even returned unused materials back to the retailer and I got almost a $1,000 back from the unused materials. I was happy to get the money back and not having to load and return heavy bags of cement! Overall Experience: I am thoroughly impressed with Ruiz Enterprises and the deck they built. It has transformed our outdoor space into a perfect place for relaxation and entertainment. I highly recommend Ruiz Enterprises to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and dedicated contractor for their home improvement projects. Thank you, Mollie and Catalino, for a job well done!"
"We had no idea who to call and ended up calling 5 or 6 companies who never called us back or sent us quotes after coming out to assess our needs. We had a flood originating from an upstairs bathroom sink and had damage to two floors of the home. Upstairs and downstairs. All the carpet had to be removed, ducts to be insulated and wrapped, drywall needing repair, and an entire hall bathroom retire after pulling out the cabinet that was damaged. Somehow I ended up finding New Idea and called with desperation. We couldn't get the insurance company to help us and felt like we were just another claim ignored. Shannon and Mike showed up and immediately put us at ease. They handled communication with the insurance company, walked us through the repair plan, and assured us we would be get through this after two months of feeling like giving up. Shannon and Mike went above and beyond what any other contractor would have done. They treated us like family and made sure our repairs were completed correctly and in a timely manner. If you are looking for a contractor, stop right here. You've found one. We'd have been lost without them and we cannot say enough about their honestly, reliability, and professionalism. They really did treat us like family and we are forever grateful for everything they did for us."
"Since Albert is a contractor and has the responsibility to clean up a job site...he did not complete the job as required. In turn, I paid to have the debris removed for $157 and change.....Albert needs to remimburse me for the expense I incurred as a result of his failure to remove the debris as required by being a contractor.

"Marc came out in August and gave us a quote to install overhead lighting in our living room and family room. He promptly gave us a written quote at the time. We decided to wait until now (November) to do the actual work and Marc honored his original quote. Scott, Kurt, and Jason arrived on time to perform the work. They reviewed everything with me and then got started right away. They installed two canned LED recessed lights in the living room, four LED "eyeball" lights in our family room, put a light kit on our ceiling fan, moved an existing light fixture, and installed dimmer switches. They were efficient and very professional. When they were finished (less than four hours) they reviewed everything with me again to make sure it was all as we wanted. They cleaned up nicely when they were done too. We are very pleased with the work they did. We had gotten several quotes before selecting a contractor and I can honestly say we would definitely work with M-I Electric again in the future. "

"Queen City and associated sub-contractors fabricated and installed our marble kitchen counter tops. I obtained bids / quotes from three separate companies and Queen City was in the middle. Their pricing per sq foot on par with what I expected. I selected QC because their customer service throughout the bidding process was very good, the pricing was reasonable and they were very willing to work with a DIYer. Throughout the process I worked the Teri, Noel, Rafael, Donny and several installers; everyone that I dealt with was extremely courteous and professional. They were responsive to questions, phone calls and texts and easy to work with. The only negatives on the project were that the fabrication and installation process went a little slower than we expected and the stone pattern around one seam didn't turn out quite like we expected (visually); it's not bad, just a little less than we expected. With that said, we still love our new counter tops and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with QC again."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
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.
Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.
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
