"He was great to work with. The job was done in a timely manner and looks great. He kept us up to date on what he was doing daily and answered many questions about the porch before we could ask him. Tim also kept the cost down when possible by using some of the existing porch. We will use Tim again."

"Nathan put in the gravel driveway (with underlay clay) and contracted an all metal garage to be built by installers. His team built the forms and contracted for the concrete pad to be poured that the garage now sits on. His efforts were not easy. Through his efforts we are pleased with the results. Nathan is a great guy to deal with."

"Polite contractor who responded to the request on Angi quickly; covered the hardware on the fence; cleaned up afterwards. I did see a tiny bit of overspray in one spot on my vinyl siding even though they used heavy paper to shield. It was a bit windy. However, a Mr Clean Magic Eraser took it right off with one wipe."

"Del Phillips did an outstanding job renovating our upstairs spare bathroom. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and extremely detail-oriented. He took the time to explain the process, kept the work area clean, and made sure every step was completed to the highest standard. The finished bathroom looks incredible — better than we imagined — and the craftsmanship is top-notch. Del’s communication throughout the project was excellent, and he completed the work on time and within budget. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contractor."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

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.
