"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 would highly recommend Morningstar Construction. Denis was a great contractor and his assistant Allen were a joy to work with. Our remodeling project kept growing and Denis would offer suggestions that were reasonable and often added value and beauty to the house. Before and after pictures say it all."

"This was my first experience hiring a contractor and Mr. Sturgess's was great to work with. He was able to meet with me outside of my work hours to go over my plans. His crew was on time, friendly, and answered any questions I had. Mr. Sturgess rates were very reasonable, and he and his team are very honest and easy to work. Since they have finished converting my carport to the screened sun room, I asked if they could go ahead and finish some other projects for me. I can't wait until all of my projects are done."

"Our original builder vented our dryer outside with 2 back to back 45 degree angle bends in the exhaust pipe in the wall. It took our dryer 2 or more complete 70 minute dryer cycles to dry a load of clothes. The dryer was over heating, the cord was getting hot and we were definitely afraid of a house fire. We called Sears the dryer manufacturer 5 times to fix the situation but they insisted it was because the dryer exhaust was incorrectly vented. Christian came out and looked at the issue and it took him around an hour the first time to unclog the built up lint which had hardened to almost a solid blockage. He literally had to drill through the clogs to brake them up enough to where they could be pulled out. How grateful I was to have had such and honest reliable person come to repair this issue. They finally had to cut a large hole in the wall to correct the way in which the pipes were run. When he was finished my dryer is now sitting against the wall where it should have been to start with and not sitting 2 feet out from the wall in the middle of the floor. I can't say enough good things about Christian and Mike who both were VERY professional, courteous and actually cared that I was totally satisfied with their work. What a new concept contractors that actually care about the work they do and that the customer is satisfied. I will definitely use them whenever I have a need for anything they can do. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an HONEST contractor and one that really cares about the work he does and doesn't try to pad the bill for their own pockets but rather and honest pay for a job well done. Can't say enough good things about these guys. Definitely put them in your call list of who to call when something goes wrong. I'm sure you will never be sorry you did. A++++++ all the way!. Also as a side note, they refused payment until I was completely satisfied with the job!!!"

"He did a really good work. He was on time. He showed up when he was supposed to. The price was really good. He cleaned up after his mess. He got the job done when he said. I recommended him already to 4 or 5 people."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.
