"Despite bitter cold and slushy/icy ground, the crew arrived promptly when they said they would. The foreman was polite and clearly explained what they would do. He answered my questions and they quickly got started. To my pleasant surprise, when 5 pm and darkness came, they stayed until they finished the job - including cleaning up! I am very satisfied with the work, the professionalism, and the cost. 10/10, I will hire them again for the next repair on my house."

"Elite Designs & Repairs Inc. was initially hired for repair of siding however after seeing the perfection of the work and outstanding customer service I decided to use him for other needed projects like replacing all shower faucets, installed LED lighting on front porch and in kitchen and painting 2 rooms. Top notch work performed and finished jobs when said it would be done!!! And at reasonable pricing!! I canâ t wait for my new floor to be installed by Elite Designs & Repairs Inc"

"Fantastic and professional. We have a small house and lost some of our gutters to a snow storm, so we decided to renovate the rest of our gutter system while repairing the damaged sections. Working with HGE was a refreshingly positive experience. All of their team members were courteous, straightforward, and responsive. The work took two days with a weather interruption in between, but communication was prompt which let us accommodate the weather. All in all, great company. I just wish they did fencing so I could hire them again."

"I listed a minor vinyl siding repair on Angi, and ESI were the only folks to respond — quickly. We made an appointment for Eddy to look at the project. He arrived on time, appraised the work, and promised to email me a written bid. The bid came that night, and I accepted it. We made an appointment to get the work done a few days later, Eddy and his helper arrived on time, and they did the work in a timely manner, including cleaning up afterwards. I asked them what other work they could do, and they said anything external on the house. I’ll keep them in mind for the future. Fair prices and good work — highly recommended!"

"Victor was a great handyman! He was very professional, knowledgeable and provided fantastic service. He was always on time and went out of his way to provide exceptional service. We are VERY pleased with the work that he provided and will hire him again to complete different projects for us. He did an awesome job in my family room in repairing a hole in my ceiling due to water damage. Then he did an awesome job with renovating my master bathroom upstairs. He gave me new flooring, new tile, new plumbing and painting. He does EXCEPTIONAL WORK !! His pricing is very reasonable. I would highly recommend Victor!!!!"

"Curtis, our project manager, was great! He was responsive to our requests and concerns â very easy to work with. I thought he managed the varied trades necessary for the building of our sunroom well. The whole project went smoothly after the county finally issued the building permits. I would definitely recommend Stoneridge and would use their services again â especially with Curtis as the project manager. And, Curtis had a crew clean up after all construction was done leaving us with a sparkling new sunroom. Thank you Stoneridge!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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. 

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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
