Lee Dickerson was one of four contractors who responded to my request for quotes to build a new 24' x 24' stand-alone garage,. I wanted it designed to look like the existing attached garage, including drywall, insulation, 9 foot ceiling, 8 foot high door, man door, 3 dormers, natural stone, stairs to a finished second floor, and painted throughout with window and baseboard moldings. He did exactly as I requested. His architect created drawings laying out the design and required material. He worked with the township to obtain the required building permit and commenced work as promised. All of his crew and those of the subcontractors were closely scheduled to avoid unnecessary downtime. When a few timing or material issues arose, Lee worked tirelessly to put in place work-arounds to keep the project on schedule. All of his subs and his own crew performed extremely well and were professional from start to finish. I now have the garage I wanted. It looks like it's always been there since it matches almost exactly with our home and existing garage. I am very pleased with the work product and the quickness of completion (5 weeks from start to finish). The quality is excellent.
If you ever have an opportunity to work with Lee Dickerson & Son, please do so. You will not regret it.
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
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.
There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
