"Luis and his helper did a fabulous job on my 40 year old oak kitchen cabinets today. They look like new now! Also mirror frame and vanity in my bathroom were all water stained and ugly and now they are transformed! Luis is very skilled in many areas of carpentry and remodeling. Very nice guy too, explains things patientlly and listens to what you want. I recommend him for anything, He showed me impressive pictures of large projects he is done, but said he will take on even small projects. Great work!"

"I would highly recommend GG remodeling for all of your home repair needs. GG remodeling did my total make ready which included; painting, plumbing, electrical and an attic build out. My personal experience was unique in that upon meeting with and hiring GG a family member passed away leaving me in a position where I had to rely on the team to work on my behalf while I was in another city for the majority of job. The entire project was done in phases, remotely. In spite of the unforeseeable challenges Gustavo was a tremendous support and the team provided excellent service.

"I'm not really satisfied by this job. I contacted Lou for a repair on a cherry butler's table that I built 25 years ago ... our communication took a LOT of phone calls, most by me, but we finally got the job done... he did a good job of stripping and sealing my old oil finish so that poly urethane could be put over it. He polished the old hinges and replaced a few screws but left the screws obviously mismatched, some old, some new. Was wood puty put in the old screw holes to hold new screws tightly? Don't know). In building period furniture I have taken great pains with the finish ...either French polish (oil and pummice) or lots of fine sanding between coats. Unhappily Lou's final finish left much to be desired...the four folding "wings" of the table were left rough as though the job was rushed and done at the last minute ...which I think it was. Final price...$300. Definitely too much for this type of workmanship"
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 primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
