"We couldn't be happier with our experience with Design For Living Contracting LLC! From start to finish, they were fantastic to work with—the entire process was seamless and stress-free. The cost was exactly as quoted, which was a huge plus for our budget. The team was not only friendly and helpful but also consistently on time and incredibly polite throughout the project. They exceeded every expectation we had and finished everything on schedule, which is a rare find these days. It truly was the best contractor experience we've ever had! To top it all off, an independent designer stopped by to look at the finished work and was blown away with the Kitchen and loved the new Luxury Vinyl Planks that they installed, remarking that it was simply outstanding. I can't recommend Design For Living Contractors highly enough. If you want quality, reliability, and a team that genuinely cares about your satisfaction, look no further. Thank you, Ben, Drew, EJ, Jose and the rest of the team. Five"

"Jeff did an amazing job with both renovations. Like many, i had a very difficult time choosing a contractor because you want someone that is honest and reliable. I priced out many general contractors and even priced out contractors for the individual jobs but Jeff was the most reasonable and was able to complete every part of the job. He was also very flexible as we changed what we wanted throughout the job. Jeff is very conscientious and responsive throughout the whole process and will make sure the job is done right. He also credited me for any extra items i purchased and was very fair when it came time to determine the final payment. I would highly recommend Jeff and in fact he is currently doing renovations to my mothers house after i recommended him to her."

Customers say: True professional

"I contracted with Sonntag Construction for a redo of my 10' x 50' dock. The project included reinforcement of the basic structure, new decking with composit material, as well as redesign to satisfy code requirements. It was a true pleasure dealing with Michael throughout the entire process. Michael is a real professional - he is a knowlegable and precise carpenter, efficient and neat in his work habits, and very importantly, shows up when he says he will. His pricing is more than competitive with other local contractors and his finished product is beautiful and exactly what wanted. I plan to utilize Michaels skills for future projects and I would encourge anyone seeking a quality contractor to reach out to Sonntag Construction first."

"We could not have asked for a more professional and communicative company. They showed up on time, every time and did the job perfectly. Not only did they do everything they could to keep the house clean during construction. they didn’t waste a minute of time getting the job done. If you need your floors or your ceiling or any part of your home remodeled or repaired this is the company to hire."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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

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 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. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
