"TPM is an excellent company to do business with. They built my fence on the property just after I bought it so that I had a run for my dogs. Fence and three gates are very solid and one of them is large enough for my 48” riding mower. In other words the work they do is customized to your needs. They also built my 24’X 36’ workshop and I could not be happier with it. My only regret is that I did not have TPM pour the concrete slab as they would have done that work cheaper and the quality would have been far better. TPM just recently added a 10’X24’ lean to shed for my workshop so that I can now store my tractor out of the weather. There is nothing I would not trust TPM to do for me and I would give them the highest recommendation. Really good people doing excellent work!!!"

"We hired Mitchell group for an entire deck replacement. From start to finish, this company was knowledgeable, punctual, professional, and very efficient. Mitchell was personally on the jobsite at least once a day. Special shout out to Sam and Alex for building the perfect deck exactly the way we wanted it. We highly recommend Mitchell Group, we would definitely use them again, their work is immaculate, and their cleanup is complete. They definitely get 5 stars from us."

"I was perfectly satisfied with the timeliness and quality of the work performed. I had a couple hundred feet of rake board and vertical corner trim wrapped in aluminum, along with a fair amount of the original wood replaced with new material before being covered. The majority of this work was performed two stories up, so the cost of $5,800 struck me as a reasonable amount, compared to the effort and cost of equipment if I did it myself. The job took 1.5 days and payment wasn't charged until after I verbally confirmed my satisfaction. I would recommend this company to others."

"The Dynamic Construction Team poured foundation and build my steel building. They did an all around great job in completing this project. I will be using them again in the future and I have received several compliments on my new building."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
