"I hired Coustom Construction for an interior paint job for my whole house. I live in a raise ranch and they painted my living room, bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms along with 3 walk in closets. They were extremely professional and easy to work with. The best part about thier work was they were very clean from start to finish! I would definitely recommend this business to anyone looking for clean and efficient professional work."

"Fourth Generation Construction did a beautiful job renovating the entire two bedroom apartment. from painting the ceilings, walls, doors, baseboards, closet and replacing the kitchen floor and kitchen countertops. The replaced the bathtub and repaired the plumbing that had a leak. They replaced with new (in the wall") an extra large air condition, hood over the stove and exhaust fan in the bathroom. They repaired and painted the deck and stairs outside. They repaired the window sills outside and painted them, all "IN A TIMELY MANNER"! Lastly, I am also pleased with the painting of the two room office and the replacement of the drop ceiling panels. They are a very nice, friendly team. Their costs are reasonable. I recommend them highly. You will not be disappointed. :-)"

"Herb did a great job. His responses were always timely and clear. He properly diagnosed and fixed issues that others either did not understand or did not take the time to do right. The price was very fair, and the quality was excellent. I hope to work with him again in the future."

"Sean is amazing at what he does. He has done several projects for us from carpentry to plumbing to painting. He is meticulous and attentive to details - you can tell he wants to get it done right and with perfection even if it takes him a little more time. He exceeded our expectations with the quality of his work and we couldnâ t be happier with the outcome. We even had a few scenarios that needed some creativity to overcome due to the build/design of our house. He came back with something visually appealing and showed ingenuity. Canâ t go wrong with working with Sean and his team!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
