"Excellent service! We have used Finish Line 3 different times now and we have always been highly satisfied with their work. They replaced our entire house roof and did an excellent job, they  installed a rubber roof over our deck, and they did the same at our son's house. We trust them and highly recommend them!"

"Don replaced our old concrete stoop with a custom built deck and cannot recommend Don and his guys enough! We received a few quotes and he was reasonably priced right in the middle. We were so impressed by his work ethic and his attention to detail. He treated our house like it was his own. He was incredibly kind and his communication was top-notch as he made sure we were happy with every decision as the deck was being built. He will be our our go-to for all our projects on our list moving forward."

"The pro came for a drawer that needed to fit smoother and tight. HE NOT ONLY FIXED THE ONE DRAWER BUT CHECKED ALL THE DRAWERS to make sure all were perfect. NEXT he noticed a corner trim piece than needed attention. All that work took less than a half hour. He kept things neat, was very professional and courteous. What a wonderful service call. What an ALL-Star appointment! Thank you Timberidge Cabinet company. We are also very grateful for our wonderful contractor Shawn. P Wengrow"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
