"When I removed a large mirror from over my fireplace, there was bare plywood and no drywall behind it. This was a task that I did not wish to try myself. I added my requirements to "HomeAdvisor" and within a couple of hours I had a response from Doug Canada. We made arrangements for him to come and look at the job and to get his estimate. After we got his estimate (which was accepted), we made arrangements to have the work done. On the appointed work day, he called to let us know that he would be there shortly. When Doug arrived, he went straight to work. As the project continue, we mentioned that the current mantel on the fireplace wasn't what we really wanted. So as a carpenter, he offer to build a new mantel at a very fair price. The drywall repair and the new mantel were both completed in the time stated. All that we need to do is paint. Doug did what he said he would do, he was always on time, he cleaned up all of his work areas, and Doug was very personable. Without question, I would use him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
