I am a self employed Veteran. I can perform most handyman jobs, ceramic tile, cabinetry, furniture building, and refinishing, as well as finish carpentry. I can paint and hang/finish sheet rock, although that is not my absolute preference. I contracted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for 12 years with many of the most prestigious builders in that area. My family and I moved here so I could work for the Salem VA Medical Center as a distribution supervisor. After 3 years of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have completed building our furniture in our home as well as completed many custom features to our home in my spare time. I've decided to pursue my passion for building and helping people. I am a stickler for detail and work alone, so I won't be parading people through your property. I will be upfront and decline any project beyond my means. I have a large shop at my residence for any projects that would be appropriate for that environment. My goal is to create satisfied customers. I will communicate and show up as agreed. I have photos available for my latest projects.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
