"Artie was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable in a vast array of services. Artie worked for me for over 7 years preforming tasks that varied from converting a small shed to a luxury air bnb, remodeling apartment buildings, restructuring and replacing a large porch, installing washer and dryers as well as dishwashers, and various small home projects. Artie was always punctual and reliable. He completed all jobs in a timely and effective manner. He also fixed projects that were done improperly by other contractors. I also found him to be cost effective in every way. Saving myself time, money, and energy upon every job that I hired him for. Artie still works for me to this day. Heâ s my go to for just about anything and everything!"

"Brian is an excellent carpenter and handyman. He is personable, a good listener and excellent at pointing out solutions we had not considered. Brian took on 3 outdoor carpentry projects. His work is precise and the work quality is impeccable. He was always on time, cleaned up the work areas, and never raised his price. We are so pleased with his work, we offered him a much larger project for 2024. We highly recommend Brian Kopf and look forward to working with him in the future. Five stars!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

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

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
