"Darryl and his son did an amazing job on my back deck and my front covered porch. Communication was spot on, pricing was very reasonable and open to negotiations. These guys had to work through days of 100deg weather which is why they always started as early as they could knowing when i would be awake. I am already talking with him on future projects and i highly recommend you contact him for anything you need done."
"Still waiting on finances, but John’s professionalism was far beyond the other 6 contractors! When I am ready to start the job, John is my first go to guy!"
"Having not worked with a contractor on this large of a project was a little daunting. Kevin did a nice job with communications, flexibility, and hitting our timeline. The craftsmanship was at or above our expectations. Also, his experience and knowledge were great in offering solutions and options when issues came up. We would use them again."
"I was very happy with the work Castro did. I had a piece of Fascia blow off during a storm and needed to find someone who was able to shape the piece in order to properly fit. When I searched for companies on Angi Castro contacted me and came out to inspect the need the same day. They communicated very well, were quick to answer all of the questions that I had, and once I was ready to move forward with them they came out the next day to get it fixed. I was happy with the final product and would use them again for any other work I need."
"My wife had always wanted a showroom living room. We are getting up there in age. My friend told me about Price Handyman Services , so I gave them a chance. Not only was the detail perfect but they covered everything and made no mess. The work was done in a timely fashion. Long story short , My wife was so pleased."
"Greg and his team at "Easy Does It" were amazing to work with. Greg is professional and courteous, and always makes sure his client is happy. Our experience began due to a referral from a friend, then Greg came out, reviewed the property, then began his bid, which was timely and affordable. His timelines for the work he was going to do were spot on - he neither over or underestimated the time it would take. Once the work started, it seemed to go quickly. Every time I came back home at the end of the day, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the crew cleans up after themselves every afternoon, so my house was always organized, despite all the work being done. Greg responded quickly with questions that I had about the work, and was willing to tweak things here and there as the job progressed. If anything came up that wasn't discussed before, Greg always called, presented the options, and made sure we were on the same page going forward. At the end of the job, during the walkthrough, there were no hard feelings or getting defensive when I stated what I had seen that needed fixing, and usually Greg had noted the same things himself that needed to be touched up or redone. It was a pleasure to work with Greg and his team, and I'll be sure to call them again if I need to do some home improvement in the future. If you're looking for a general contractor, stop your search here and Hire Greg!"
"We are thrilled with the work that Benjamin and his crew did at our new house. We had a wall taken down, an entertainment center built, part of a fence taken down, and part of a fence turned into a door. Benjamin’s quotes were reasonable, they completed all of the projects on time and were able to get the work done quickly so we could move in. We would highly recommend this company and will be using them in the future!"

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.
Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
