"Leo and his crew were awesome! Everything was done to perfection. Leo was patient and accommodating with the changes and add ons I had during the job, communicated well with me and kept me updated on their progress during the job. I am very pleased with the upgrades to my house and the storage building they built for me. I have absolutely no complaints and would hire him again for any job. I highly recommend him."

"Best experience I have had with any type of contract work period. They built a roof over my porch and it is just what I was wanting! They went above and beyond what was required which is unfortunately rare these days. They are knowledgeable, listen to what you want and make your vision come to life. I will be going back to them for all of my home improvement needs and recommend them for any job!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
