"Excellent! Edgar & his crew were always on time, professional & pleasant. They came in exactly at the amount they quoted. The craftmanship on the wooden steps was excellent, notching in the wood & bolting for extra stability. Edgar also asked for much feedback during the process of building to make sure he was building what I wanted. Very impressed with these folks!"

"We wanted a detached garage. We liked Vicars Construction reviews and hired them. Their workers were very professional & easy to work with. They built us a beautiful garage and we are really enjoying it. We would recommend them to anyone planning a building project. If in the future we have other building projects we will certainly call on them."

"Orlando and his team did a great job, especially with the hardwoods and removal of our pop-corn ceiling. He also repaired some items that needed fixing while on the job too. His prices were very reasonable."

"Purpose of project was to convert a screen porch to an office/den such that it looked like it was part of the original design of house. Project length was projected to take 8 weeks by contractor and this was right on the nose. Project involved multiple subs and their quality of work was good to great. The project manager that was assigned kept in daily touch by texts and site visits and questions and concerns were addressed as soon as they occurred. Project had some unanticipated twists but they were handled quickly and efficiently. The project objectives were met and we are well satisfied."

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.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
