"I was surprised at how much work it takes to remove old original doors and install new ones. Robbie did an excellent job of detailing what he needed to do to reframe the doorways to fit the new doors to make a solid and tight close. He also painted the doors. Now that it is complete, it makes our garage look pretty - - imagine that! Robbie also installed a new toilet and determined cause of leak for the old one after having two other plumbing companies come out and be unable to resolve the issue over the last 5 years, leading us to not use the toilet. 24 hours later, no leaking and we have a working toilet. He beat the quotes we got from other contractors, stayed in communication, and showed up on time; a rarity in the world of contractors. Thank you!"

"Jimmy Hines is the contractor from hell. He constantly brags about the quality of his work but his actual work is sup par to say the least. We hired him to do work on our rental property and it was a decision that we regretted shortly after hiring him. He did not start the work when he said he would and he did not notify us. When he did begin the work, he would become very augmentative whenever my husband questioned him about anything. Whenever we disagreed with something he suggested he would become very augmentative. When he finally completed the job, my husband and I met him at the property to do the walk through. My husband was very disappointed with the quality of his work and told him so. At this point he became extremely conformational with my husband trying to fight him and the police had to be called. I do not recommend hiring this contractor for any project. I wish I could give him less than a one star rating. Update: Reply to the service provider's response: Mr. Hines is a liar. We are not drug dealers nor slum lords. Anyone who has owned rental property knows that tenants will tear up your property. We deducted money from the total bill because of the terrible job that he did. We paid him for the work that he did because that was the agreement. We could have withheld his final payment but we are people of integrity unlike him. We had decided not to use him for the rest of the project due to his confrontational and combative nature. You don`t have to believe what we are saying, if you choose to hire him you will be greatly disappointed and that`s putting it mildly. He talks a good game so beware. "

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

While fabric and temporary carports last for just a few years, depending on the weather they must endure, well-maintained metal and wood carports can last between 10 and 30 years. In some cases, well-cared-for carports made of high-quality materials can last a lifetime. How long your carport will last depends mostly on its construction, materials, and maintenance.

While installing a carport will have only a slight, if any, bearing on increasing the selling price of your home, simply having a high-quality and well-maintained carport can improve the selling appeal to would-be house buyers. However, a poorly-maintained carport in disrepair can have the opposite effect and hurt the home's sales appeal.

In many cases, yes, you’ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you’ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don’t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.

Permits are necessary to comply with local building codes, ensuring safety and adherence to zoning regulations, and are vital for successful construction.
