"The ramp and mini-deck is very sturdy, and we are happy with it. They worked fast and showed up when they said they would. When they found out via my first review that I needed spindles on the sides to keep my grandchildren from falling in my little pond, they called me and offered to place them at no extra charge. Yay. They know the building codes, they follow through. I would definitely hire them again."

"Out of the Ordinary Construction is a father and son team, they built a deck at the rear of my home after removing some dilapidated steps. They did an outstanding job, I was impressed on their work ethics and dedication to completing the project. They arrived early in the morning and worked until late evening; their professionalism was astonishing and amazing!! My new deck is gorgeous and I am a very happy customer, I will use this company again on a future project and I highly recommend them for anyone needing a project done. They are definitely a five star company!! ?"

"I could not be happier with the decision to hire Franklin's Finishing Touches. Such quality work at great prices. The owner takes great pride in his work. Not only is he a great painter, he can do flawless drywall repairs, and woodwork. Trustworthy, on time, at the price quoted. I have already decided to have him do more jobs that I was going to let go until next year. He is that good."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
