"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."

"I posted this on another neighbor page, along w pics. Had 19 people respond, hope you all bet a lot of work! J'esus Maldonado company, painted our kitchen cabinets, replaced our dock, front porch, did a limestone wash on our fireplace, painted the inside walls, trim and ceiling and finished off our downstairs porch, along with turning my closet into a usable laundry room. Their work is excellent, communication good, professional and reasonably priced. They cleaned up everything, everyday and were just great to work with. They do it all!"

"Mr. Eggleston and one of his crew members came out and looked at the chimney to inspect for mold. After the inspection was over Mr. Eggleston explained in detail the kind of mold and what to use to remove it. I didn't want to do it myself for health reasons, so, they came later that evening and cleaned the chimney. I still saw areas that weren't cleaned in the upper area of the chimney. I called and was told they would return after lunch; which they did, to clean it. I chose this company because they responded very qiuckly; no waiting around for a call. I felt at ease with this company from Angie's List."

"Joe is an awesome installer. We remodeled our bathroom and Joe installed the glass doors in our bathroom. He did an amazing job. Also he stands behind what he does. He came back and adjusted the doors and handles on the door after we had used it for over a year in an expeditious time frame. He is pleasant and very easy to work with. Highly recommend him."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

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.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000
