"I chose Marcelino because of all the high ratings he received for his work. He lived up to the praise in both his work and treatment of me as a customer. His prices are very reasonable, he and his crew are on time and very professional. He not only treated me with patience and friendliness, but his work was excellent. In fact, he helped me figure out what I needed and did great designs for the work. One other thing that was very important to me is that other companies I quoted would have limits on what they did. So when I had specialized needs or little requests, they would say, "We don't do that." But Marcelino would do it. He did everything I needed, even small specialized things, and all completely professional. He went above and beyond. I hired him three times. First for my bedroom closet and office credenza. Then for a living room credenza, bathroom cabinets, kitchen roll-out cabinets and laundry room build out. Now, he is going to do my garage. I wouldn't use anyone else."

"I cannot begin to exclaim more passionately how phenomenal my experience with Gunter Gables Custom cabinetry ended up being! They helped me create, what I am fully convinced is, the most unique kitchen island on the face of this earth. It has become the envy of all of my friends. People who understand the ingenuity and skill that goes into building custom cabinetry like this are able to fully appreciate what a masterpiece Mike and Cameron crafted for me. They were an absolute treasure to work with the entire time. From the moment Mike showed up to quote the project, I could sense that I was dealing with a person who had an incredible attention of detail; which was going to be necessary in the person I hired for this project; every square inch of this island included some kind of specific detail. They took such care to make certain that everything came out exactly to my liking. If you would like to see a video tour of the island, I would encourage you to hop over to YouTube at the link here: https://youtu.be/IZh7k-XIHss?si=Gvq4f-zlxFuN4cBr. I have prepared a video to share with my friends that will be meaningful to anyone who is considering hiring Gunter Gables for their next project. I think you will see that I am convinced there is no more masterful craftsmen in the Dallas Fort Worth area than Gunter Gables Cabinetry! I will be using them for all my future creations and I would encourage you to do the same!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
