"Seth and his crew were very professional and went above and beyond for a job very well done. They showed up on time every day, even working in some very unpleasant weather. The job was a deck expansion/rebuild and they completed it in 3 days. It looks incredible and I couldnt be happier with the results. I would highly recommend them and i will be usung them for future projects. Thank you Manibilt you guys are awesome!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Jeff undertook a big job of removing old screening, rotten framing, replacing damaged floor, adding custom windows and installing intricate poplar shingles. Room had a high peak, so a demanding job. Looks amazing. I changed design midway and Jeff was always pleasant & agreeable to my requests. They always left the place neat and tidy at end of day. Crew were polite and friendly."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

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.
