"We went with Matt and team for our kitchen remodel and the process could not have been smoother. The project was completed to our standards, on time, and within budget which is really all you can ask for from a contractor. While Matt did not give us the cheapest quote, we found the pricing fair and even asked him to complete some additional projects, like replacing our front door. Matt was professional and easy to work with and told us exactly what needed to be purchased and when which helped keep everyone on track. We would highly recommend Matt and team and plan on using them for additional projects in the future."

"Marvin, Noel, and the entire Jeffries team raise the bar on several levels. They not only provide great work but significantly excel at working with you as a fiduciary and trusted partner throughout the overall process. They will not break your trust. Our home is a hundred year old colonial home. The team upgraded our electric, restored century old plaster walls, insulated and restored our basement. They exercised extreme care to keep dust and debris confined and always cleaned up everyday. They don't cut corners and handled town inspectors openly and successfully with ease. They work with your schedule of availability and, on several occasions, we trusted their team to perform work on our home when we weren't there. They treated our home like it was their own. We cannot wait to work with them on our next project and recommend them without any reservations."

"I hired this company to do a few projects around my condo - dry wall, painting, electrical work, installing hardware and shelving. The team members who worked on the projects were professional, prompt, skilled, and have an attention to detail. The work they did was superior and affordable. I highly recommend this company as they went above and beyond to make my place look great."

"This is the third and largest project that Cesar has done for me. He is without question the best contractor I have ever used. His tiling work is fantastic! He is Knowledgeable, Honest, Fair and completely trustworthy. We were away for long periods of time while he worked alone in our house. I won't even consider another contractor for any additional work that we would do in the future. We just did two bathrooms with him and they came out perfect. Cesar is an easy guy to work with and has a great work ethic. He's a first class, stand up guy!"

"They are not local to my area. Please, hire local. And this is for Angi: Try not to recommend contractors who are a significant distance away, in this case around 80 miles (and 2 states) away. Great website, appears to be professionally designed and maintained, I like what they do (judging from the content in the website) but I am outside their service area. I don't live in that area. If I owned a home or apartment in that area, I would hire them."

"When we bought our house we needed to completely replace the carpeting with laminate flooring before we could move in. Pat helped us get everything handled quickly and the floors came out looking great. He was very knowledgeable about the process and we will definitely be working with him again for other home improvement projects."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, 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.

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.

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. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
