"I was very pleased with G&B carpentry, very professional, work completed as promised. Kitchen looks amazing, the detail of the ceilings is my favorite part. I would definitely hire G&B again for my next home improvement project!"

"Jason was fabulous to work with. His pricing was well under some of the General Contractor’s I found. His work was impeccable no problems with it. He’s also worked on my deck, building a firewood stand, fixing fences, and general maintenance around my house for several years now. Can’t go wrong with Jason!"

"This is my first experience with this company. Excellent work! I will call upon them again. Joe replaced my rotten front door frame, sealed and painted it. My front door was a real eyesore before and now it is beautiful!"

"MJ Remodeling & Carpentry were outstanding. They increased the value of my home in a matter of days. They stand behind their name. They are proficient and professionals in painting & carpentry. This company I highly recommend and endorse. I am preparing for my next home project. Do I really need to name the company I will hire to do the job?"

"This company was so fast to get me a quote. Communicated throughout the entire process but most of all did a GREAT job. They came back a second time to repair the fence doors as well. I wish I had contracted them initially to install the fence around my property! Thank you to the team!"

"Outstanding work! I almost hate to post this review because I imagine Kris is going to be so busy going forward that I’ll never be able to hire him again. We needed to have an office closed off with French doors. Kris came in, sized it up and went to work. Great attention to detail, great craftsmanship, and great design; argue better than the original builder. Kris is a man of his word and gets the job done. Great job! I will definitely use him for additional projects. Highly recommend!"

"They did a rebuild of a large deck and built it better than it was originally built. They were both very nice, professional, and kept me in the loop about the whole process. I would definitely hire again for my next carpentry project!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

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

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.
