"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"We hired Brandon and his crew to repair and reside our garage with vinyl siding. The work was done as scheduled and the results are beautiful. A very professional job. We then hired him to build a pergola over our driveway. I had a very good idea of what I wanted but the final result is so much better than I expected. They paid such attention to little details that made the end result absolutely perfect. Very reliable crew, hard working and very skilled workers. Will definitely hire them again for our next project,"

Need a Handyman? We Finally Decided to Make It Official.\n\nSure, we're "new" to the handyman business... but only because we've spent the last 7 years flipping houses instead of printing business cards.\n\nWe've repaired, replaced, installed, painted, patched, and occasionally stared at a project wondering, "Who on earth did this?" (Then we fixed it.)\n\nWhether it's a leaky faucet, squeaky door, drywall repair, trim work, light fixtures, flooring, or that ever-growing honey-do list, we've probably tackled it before—just in houses we owned.\n\nWhy choose us?\n\n7 years of real, hands-on home renovation experience\nHonest work at fair prices\nWe show up when we say we will (crazy concept, we know)\nWe treat your home like it's one of our flips—minus the "For Sale" sign.\n\nDon't let that little repair become tomorrow's expensive repair. Give us a call, and we'll get it fixed right the first time.\n\nBecause duct tape is a temporary solution... no matter what your uncle says.

"Jason and his crew did an outstanding job building our new concrete screened in porch. Aside from some unavoidable weather delays, they finished the job quickly. Unlike many contractors, they did not show up and work two hours one day, then two more the following week, etc. Jason stayed in communication with me to let me know timeliness, schedule, etc. As they worked, we kept finding other projects and as we kept moving the goalpost, he happily accommodated us! If you have a project, call these guys!"

Carpentry questions, 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.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
