"Jim and Mark were both professional and helpful. Jim contacted me right away and was patient and knowledgeable figuring out exactly how we want things done and the most cost effective way of doing the project. We had a big change on our end, and he took everything in stride calmly and professionally. I really hope to get the chance to work with Jim and his team in the future! Couldn’t ask for a better contractor."

"I was directed to Hibbard Home Improvements (HHI) by staff at the condominium where I live, as they had done work here before and were recommended by both the client for the quality of their work and management for their professionalism and scrupulousness in following the building's requirements of contractors. I am totally satisfied with the quality of their work for me. They were always punctual when arriving in the morning, courteous, and made every effort to accommodate my presence and schedule as I lived in the apartment during the work. The workers (craftsmen, really) were careful of my property and wholly honest. The project only slightly exceeded the amount of time it was estimated to take when the contract was signed, and for reasons that were out of HHI’s control. I engaged a professional designer to help me with every aspect of imagining a new kitchen and bathroom; he, HHI – both the owner and crew – and I worked cooperatively together, with no drama. All work done per contract was completed as specified and estimated; change orders and a few add-ons were accepted and completed, the extra cost for which was fairly and separately handled from the contracted work. I am no builder, plumber or electrician, but I can readily tell that the men who work for HHI are all supremely skilled in the trade(s) they performed for me. I couldn’t be happier with the results: The workmanship was outstanding, fully realizing my and the designer’s vision for how the renovations would look at completion. Now with each passing day I love my apartment more and more, and I credit Hibbard Home Improvements, along with my designer, with making that happen. I would recommend them without hesitation."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.
