"Had a 10*8 shed foundation built by DC57 construction and Lucas and his crew had it built within a hour. It is sturdy and level just like I asked for it be built. I will be using DC57 construction for any future projects."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Sean is a stand-up guy whose team does meticulous work. He took on our chaotic mess of an old house & really transformed it, in line with our vision & limited budget. He worked here for 2 + months & was reliably pleasant, communicative, flexible, & did high quality work. He gave us options for upgrades at different price points & helped us be creative in how to improve the space without breaking the bank. The only area for improvement is with estimating. We were one of his first solo projects & the estimate was a lot lower than the final cost. (Some of that was related to surprises in the house once we got further into walls etc & due to additional things my partner added to the project.) A more accurate assessment of cost upfront would have been helpful to us. But another big strength is Seanâ s fairnessâ when we had more problems in the house than initially suspected & along the way when stuff got added, he charged us in a way that felt respectful to all . We would hire him again & recommend him to our friends & family!"

"After performing demo workout, our previous contractor took our $$ and ran. Because of this, we were too spooked to hire another “con”tracor and decided to try a service with a good reputation and warranty. I can not recommend ACE more highly. Our “handyman" Juan was skilled and super knowledgable with the HUGE project he was thrown into. He was on time, efficient and just a joy to deal with! By himself, Juan cleaned up the prior demo area, properly sealed the shower, installed a new shower bench/curbs and repaired the wall…he did everything but the painting, which we took care of. What a worker! Thank you so much Juan and ACE Handyman Services. We will certainly be working with you again!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

Building a wooden carport costs between $3,000 and $12,000, depending on size, materials, and custom features.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

In many cases, yes, you’ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you’ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don’t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.
