"You will never find a better contractor than Santos from 5S Renovation. He completely transformed my house! When I purchased my old family home, it was in total disrepair. But it is sentimental and I wanted a contractor who would help me restore it to its original beauty. Santos came in and provided the best service and best quality work I could have asked for. I’d get on the client list now because this level of quality work and professionalism is hard to find in any contractor. 5S work: - completely renovated my kitchen from top to bottom - replaced the entire house floors - replaced almost all the windows - added structural support beams where needed - coordinated and project managed the installation of my AC unit - removed a huge dying tree from my front yard - reinforced my ceiling - installed fans & appliances The list can continue. I’ve posted some before and after photos. Please note: I am painting the blue ceiling myself and is still in progress"

"The deck feels solid. It adds so much to flow and use of property. The rain had delayed the start of it and the finish as well. They adjusted design as it was being built. Like moving steps to utilize the presents of a concrete slab in yard.and added skirting so my toy dog wouldn’t get stuck under there. Rodney was easy to work with and he was a good carpenter."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
