"I recently did a complete renovation of the bathroom/dressing room in my condo with GH Construction Services and cannot recommend them highly enough. I had been dreading the process of working with a contractor, but Haim made it all seamless and eased all my concerns. He came out several times in advance to ensure the quote and scope of work were correct, making sure that all needs were covered and making a number of very helpful suggestions. Once the project started he made sure everything was sequenced properly to ensure the work was completed within a very reasonable timeframe. The work itself was top-notch, and Haim kept me informed at all turns about progress and the few minor glitches. I am thrilled with the end product and plan to go to GH Construction again for further home renovation projects."

"As a professional carpenter and cabinet maker, I had been confident in my ability to restore the all-wood 100 year old house my wife and I purchased when moving to Texas.  Over the course of the first year, I realized my confidence wasn't misplaced, but it would take me approximately eleventy bajillion more months to finish by myself than I had originally estimated.  Admittedly in over my head, I started looking for reinforcements.
I contacted about a dozen companies from referrals and online reviews.  Enthusiasm and prices were all over the board; after many dropped off the face of the earth or were clearly not that excited about taking on a difficult, grueling job, I selected Brian and his crew from the remaining three.  His pricing structure made me a little nervous (weekly rates versus a flat bid), but I appreciated his excellent communication (very rare, I discovered) and his instant understanding of what I had gotten myself into.
Brian's crew was excellent.  They showed up on time, we collaborated on an initial plan of attack, and his guys immediately set to building an incredibly intricate series of scaffolding - which allowed them to get up close to third-story areas I had all but given up on.  After three months, the entire house had been transformed, and we were receiving raves from anyone passing by about how great the place looked.  In a neighborhood known for constant high-end renovations and battles against mother nature's destructive powers, Lakewood Restoration's results were clearly way above the norm.  And this is coming from an unusually persnickety craftsman/carpenter (whom they graciously contended with all along the way).
My only minor issue came with the cost.  It was difficult to compare them against other bids, and my wife and I wound up spending considerably more than we had initially planned (but when doesn't that happen).  We would have probably spent even more with other traditional companies and dealt with unending change orders, though, so in the end I'm fully satisfied with their value.  I don't regret signing off on anything I shifted onto their scope.  It was also clear that they were not the turn-and-burn type of contractor who were just out to make a buck; they do great work at the appropriate speed without trying to race on to the next job or constantly up-sell services.
In the end, I highly recommend using these guys, especially if you have a non-traditional project that requires more attention and communication than one of the giant companies can provide.  I've already recommended them on other projects in which I'm involved, and I'll continue to enthusiastically enlist their services when I have the need!

"I had some wood rot around the entrance to my garage so metroplex pro builders came out and gave an estimate. Manny was professional and flexible. He was willing and able to meet me at my convenience. We signed a contract and workers were here the next morning. Manny and his crew got the job done. They did five star work. I recommend them for professionalism and quality work. And they get the job done fast."

"Paul and co. did an excellent job. This was our second time working with Paul and we highly recommend him and his crew. They gave us a firm price and were very responsive. Also, they were extremely professional and friendly. I do believe that he and his son will be our contractors for a very long time. Very pleased with the results."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

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. 

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.
