At Repair Pro's we take pride in the care and quality of your experience with us. Customer service is what has kept our doors open for 8 years. We promise, you won't regret hiring us for your Roofing and Gutter needs. We appreciate your business, and thanks for choosing Repair Pro's.

"I recently had a fantastic experience with Repair Pro for a much-needed roof repair, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. ​From the very first call, their professionalism shone through. I was worried about a sudden leak, and the team at Repair Pro was incredibly responsive. They scheduled an inspection quickly, and the technician was right on time, courteous, and extremely thorough. ​They clearly explained the damage (a few missing shingles and resulting water penetration), showed me pictures, and gave me a clear, fair quote with no pressure for unnecessary extras. ​The repair work itself was completed efficiently and meticulously. The crew was respectful of my property, took care to protect the landscaping, and performed a very thorough cleanup—you couldn't even tell they had been there, aside from the brand-new, perfectly matched shingles on my roof! ​Most importantly, the repair has held up perfectly through the last few heavy rainfalls. It’s a huge relief to know the issue w"

"If I could give zero stars I would! We had the most HORRIBLE experience with Christan/Nighthawk!!! We had a 3 phase home addition that was to be done in 6 months. It took 11 months and he only made it thru phase 2. He took our money then proceeded to only show up once a week for most of the project!! He left our roof off - exposing our home to extensive damage that he ignored - for 3 MONTHS!!!! He claimed we were a priority project to him and yet never showed up. And to add insult to injury the work he did was AWFUL! Framing was left exposed to the elements so long it grew mold (that we had to treat on our own dime) and the inside framing was so wrong that we had to rip it down and fix on our own. Beware of a sheep in wolfs clothing. Christian talks a good game and you'll believe he is a good guy/business man but he did us sooooo wrong!!! All I can say is do not make the same mistake we did - go with someone else!!!!"

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. 

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Depending on your carport's configuration, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it’s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it’s best left to the professionals.
