"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."

"Work from Paulo was exceptional. All work was explained and performed as requested. A 12x12 2nd story balcony tied with a 12x24 deck below was built well. He measures twice and cuts once. Was on-time every day, which means a lot to me when choosing a contractor. Yes, I would hire again."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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
