"We needed new stairs installed, finished, railing, banister and balister. Good price and products. He was on time, did a great job and cleaned up all the dust and debris. Very nice and respectful. I would highly recommend Andrew Hoy and I have given his name and number to several people looking for a good carpenter. I have plans on having him to return for more projects."

"Chris was extremely professional and very skilled at his trade. He completed the work within 2 days of our first contact and kept excellent communication about costs, time of arrival for first consultation and date of service. The projects were challenging and he did incredible carpentry. He was very good at keeping the area clean and respectful of my home. We have already discussed additional work that he will do on the house. I am excited to work with him again and recommend him without reservation. He is a breath of fresh air for someone to really work with a homeowner!"

"Pedro is a really nice fellow and his work was excellent. I would not hesitate to call him again for painting and other repairs at my house. I had a grill fire and he painted the siding and framing around the garage and rehung a light fixture and replaced an electric outlet."

"Designer Framing reached out right away and quoted my project without any high pressure sales tactics or commitment traps. They gave me an accurate scheduling wait time of just a few weeks, procured all the materials and delivered them in advance, and showed up to do the job when they said they would. A skilled and organized two-man crew methodically tore out and replaced 250' of wooden fencing in fewer than three consecutive days, and my new fence looks incredible. There were no surprises, no misunderstandings of what I wanted, no shortcomings, and no messes left behind. I'm very happy with how everything turned out and would not hesitate to hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
