"Very professional and pristine work. The work he did for me on my wrought iron chairs looked better than if i’d purchased them brand new. I will certainly call on him any for any work I need. Also, the price was extremely fair."

"Calvin was very professional and was reliable for him and/or his crew to be there at the right time. I also needed exterior wood repair (fairly extensive) and he had a carpenter to do that. I was very pleased with the process and the finished product. I will definitely hire him again!"

"A neighbor mentioned Jorge to me a while back when I was looking for someone to help with a paint job. I am so glad they did what started as a one-time project quickly turned into an ongoing relationship. Jorge has since helped me with everything from roofing and home repairs to random odd jobs I did not even know who to call for. He is reliable, kind, and takes real pride in the quality of his work. You can tell he genuinely cares, and he approaches every job with integrity and attention to detail. He communicates clearly, shows up when he says he will, and never cuts corners. Jorge is now my first call when something needs to get done around the house. I have recommended him to others more times than I can count and for good reason. He is one of those rare people you feel lucky to have on your team."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
