"Carlos and his team did an amazing job building out my new fence and the new patio cover, as well as laying a concrete slab for the patio. Would highly recommend them. From his work, he's gotten two other jobs in the neighborhood."

"I have a small house and decided to convert a room for much needed storage. Marcelino worked with me to include every detail I wanted such as space for larger framed items, shelf partitions for the smaller framed items with open space across the top of the 3 units for longer items such as a 10-pack of fluorescent lights. The units are floor to ceiling and integrated into the base and ceiling trim. The materials and workmanship are excellent and the pricing is very reasonable. I will be adding a smaller 2-unit in my office later this year. Marcelino and Laura are a joy to work with, and I highly recommend them."

"I scheduled the crew from Handyjoe to assemble a 3 seat patio swing. There were a lot of parts for this. The crew arrived on time and went right to work. They had a backpack with all the tools needed for this type of project. They stayed with the job until the swing was completely assembled and located on the patio where we wanted it. The crew was courteous and the price was reasonable for this type of project. I was very pleased with the outcome."

Customers say: True professional

"I actually mixed up my contractors and replied to Vern by mistake, thinking he was someone else. Turns out it was a lucky mistake. Not only did he take on the job another contractor bailed on (assembling a bookcase), but he also wall-mounted a TV, fixed my driveway gate, and reinforced a wobbly railing on my front steps so it’s now completely solid and steady. All of that — and at really fair prices. I’m already making a new list of projects around the house because I’m genuinely happy to have found someone reliable, skilled, and reasonably priced. It’s such a relief to finally have a handyman I can trust."

"My family had Jerry and his Handynauts crew to install our long await gazebo. They were very thorough and clean up after themselves. Punctual and reasonable pricing for the service. We will be using them going forward for any handyman work and other services."

"From Paul's initial visit to make a proposal, until the day everyone drove off; everything was a delight.  They had to move several family antiques plus all of the other furniture in the dining room and living room.
Work began with moving furniture, covering other furniture with tarps. One group began on the wall build-out while another group began prepping the living room for painting.  The area was kept very clean.
Of course all of the work being done was important, but I must comment on the crew.  They were all gentlemen. The guys always wore clean work clothes every day.  They did not use profanity; never smelled of alcohol, didn't smoke, always respectful and they even put the toilet seat down!!  In all of the years of being a rental property owner and a home owner, I do not remember ever having a tradesman who used the restroom while on the job site to put the seat down!  They get five stars just for that!
Almost forgot -- I took pictures of the various stages of the work and of the crew!

"On time, fast response, finished work is a little off. We paid for some replacement screens using the existing frames and a few windows to get solar screens. The replacement screens are all perfect. The solar screens donâ t fit at least one window- thereâ s a large gap where the screen is bowed out- enough to stick my hand through. It should have been obvious at installation. On another they broke a window and didnâ t say anything. I had happened to take a picture of that side of the house the day before for paint work or I wouldnâ t have known. I didnâ t call them on the errors or breakage so no opportunity to correct as we will just take care of it ourselves but Iâ m still disappointed. I wasnâ t even going to review but the automated review request wonâ t leave me alone."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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
