"TX Thunderbolt Fences did an amazing job on our fence, we also had them install a carport. Very high quality craftsmanship and they started the job and completed in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Carlos to build your fence or carport."

"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."

"Hector was absolutely amazing from our first contact. I explained what we needed and why! (A story behind our privacy fence panels from a crazy neighbor lol) and he and his amazing crew knocked it out of the park! My husband and I have already asked for quotes on our future projects. We have truly found an amazing company to complete those. The crew's attention to details and the clean up they did was so professional and respectful. They were willing to haul off the trash but when we said absolutely not....drop it in our trash bins....we got this, they asked "are you sure, we don't mind". It was a no brainer. This company is absolutely great and I encourage anyone to hire these guys for your projects. Thank you Hector and the crew...we are forever grateful."

"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

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.

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 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

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
