"Gene was a very sweet man. He showed up when he said he would and completed wiring our screen porch for a fan, installed the fan, and also replaced a screen door. His work is exceptional. However I was most impressed that he did what he said he was going to do. I have had way too many bad experiences of contractors not showing up after the estimate. Thank you Gene!"

"Jerry is such a nice guy. Easy to talk to and very professional. When he opened his work trailer I knew I had the right guy for the job. Everything in order - tools, saws, nails, screws, etc. all neat and clean. Jerry works the same way. The railing and steps came out really really nice. I would hire Jerry again in a heartbeat."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Keith is very friendly. He was in constant contact before and during the work. In addition to putting our ramp back together we also had him replace and paint our fence. He checked with us during the projects to make sure he was doing the project the way we wanted. He cleaned up the yard after the work. If we need any work done in the future he will be at the top of our list."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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. 

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
