"If I could give John Kelch more than five stars, I absolutely would. He is one of the best handymen I’ve ever hired.John installed a new bathroom vanity and a cabinet above the toilet in my daughter’s home, and his workmanship was exceptional from start to finish. He carefully unpacked and assembled everything, completed all of the plumbing, installed both pieces flawlessly, and even corrected an existing plumbing issue along the way. Both installations were in a very small bathroom with extremely tight working spaces, but John handled every detail with incredible care and precision. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and problem-solving skills are second to none. What impressed me just as much was his professionalism. He’s honest, trustworthy, efficient, and takes tremendous pride in his work. He cleaned up afterwards and treated our home with respect. Finding this level of meticulous, integrity and is rare anymore. I highly recommend John and won’t hesitate to hire again!"

"The guys who come out to see the job and give an estimate are the guys who do the work and the work they do is excellent! Very quick to complete the job, too! They leveled land and laid a brick patio for me in one day, added a few bricks for trimming/edging the next day and they were finished. Looks great! Nick said they do a lot of other type of outdoor work, as well. I highly recommend Unique Structures and Surfaces!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
