"Joe Woods and Just Right Carpentry did a superb job building our new deck. They were responsive, kind, and easy to work with. In addition to building a beautiful deck at a reasonable price, they left everything neat and clean after they left. They went above and beyond and I will certainly use their services again."

"​A great experience from start to finish! The work Eddy and Berta did on our deck was handled with such care, moving swiftly yet thoroughly. They are true professionals—it is clearly in their nature to do an exceptional job. ​We are so glad to have found a small local company that delivers this level of high-quality work. Even though our job was a repair, they were able to get it all done in one long, dedicated day (all hands on deck!). They even threw in a perfect cleanup and a power wash. What a relief for us! Many thanks to Star Dynasty Construction!"

"Angel and his team did top quality work for us. Whether it was painting and spackling, building or tiling, they go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. But best of all is that their love and kindness shine brightly. I am so happy I found them on Angie?s list. I would highly recommend this company."

"Lang Company Construction has managed several projects at our recently purchased home. John and his crew reverted our previously converted garage back to a fully functional single car garage. This project was particularly difficult due to some structural damage that needed to be corrected. Everything turned out great. John also managed the installation of our complete roof replacement. His crew did an excellent job. They left our property clean and the roof looks fantastic. He recently installed a new exterior front door as well as the storm door. Both work perfectly. John has also recommended other trades people for plumbing and landscaping projects around our house and they have all performed well. I would recommend Lang Company Construction for about any project someone had in mind. John’s experience, his attention to details and his commitment to doing things the right way is exceptional. We will continue to use his resources for more projects we have planned at our home."

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.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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

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.
