"The father and son team of Scott & Chris Lindholm did an excellent job of installing our 8 windows and 1 storm door. Several window sills and frames had extensive rotting that required new framing to accommodate the new replacement windows. The Lindholm team had the experience and proper tools to accomplish the work in a timely fashion. They did an excellent job, were courteous and policed up the refuse generated from the demolition and hauled it away. We feel very confident in recommending them for any carpentry work you may need performed."
"Angel and his team did a first class job of building a beautiful screened in porch on our existing deck, including the necessary structural work underneath. We spoke with multiple contractors and ZZEOS were the most knowledgeable and detailed oriented. We were so impressed with the porch, we had the finish off around the bottom of the deck. Pricing was very reasonable. They give you lots of options like skylights, doors, siding and shingle colors, etc. if we do anything else to our home, we will give them a call."
"I am delighted with the work done. He was professional, fairly priced, quick and cleaned up after himself.
I would and will call him without question the next time my hundred year old house needs repairs again."
"This husband and wife are a Dream Team in Cape May County. I had a few pressing items I needed repaired before renters came into the property. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough. Can’t recommend them enough-definitely will use them again. 5 STARS!!"
"609 Renovations was very responsive to my request for an estimate of the job and showed up exactly when they confirmed they would. I was extremely satisfied with the quality of their work and happy with the price. I highly recommend using them!"
"I could not be happier with my new enclosed porch! Mike came out in 11/21 and described options, took measurements and gave me an estimate and financing options to enclose an existing side porch for a 3-season room that had a concrete floor, roof and 4 posts. I was told that the project would take about 3 weeks and would begin in March. Everything was spot on! The completed project has aluminum framing, two steel doors, and vinyl floor. Everybody who's seen it says it's gorgeous! I am very satisfied."
"Very professional, courteous and accommodating. They also worked to keep the area clean and cleaned up after all work was completed. They listened to my concerns and offered alternative options for my consideration. I would absolutely hire them again."
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.
While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
