Roof Recovery LLC is a single member LLC committed to giving the customer quality work at fair price. My name is Tom and I have been roofing for 27 years. After working for many different companies I decided to start my own LLC who is dedicated to honesty and integrity. I keep it simple. No salesman, no sub contractors. I will not try and sell you something you don't need. A small crew and little overhead means better rates for my clients. Same material, same warranties as the big guys. After being in the trade for decades I've seen so many people get taken advantage of by huge roofing outfits. Stick with an honest contractor who is here to help you. I realize a new roof is a big investment and try my best to be as fair as possible and still be profitable. Small job? I make time for every job and WILL RETURN YOUR CALL! Hire a straight shooter. You and your wallet wont regret it. That's my guarantee. See what my clients are saying . www.roofrecoveryllc.com 484.374.2557

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
