"Steppy and Terry are fantastic to work with! They are creative, thorough and dedicated. And, they bring enthusiasm to all aspects of the job and work collaboratively throughout. I was left in the lurch at the beginning of December by a prior contractor who bailed on my project due to "bad weather" (someone not from Vermont). I was left with a house open to the elements, only partially covered, and with water leaking in. And I was also left in a situation where there was no hope of continuing inside work during the winter as the inside building space was full of water from rain and snow melt. Steppy and Terry came onboard and immediately set to work prioritzing updates to seal in the building and insulate as quickly as possible. They put in place a fully dried-in roof for the winter, stabilized a loose front wall, and then set to work installing doors and polycarbonate windows in both front walls of my passive solar building (an Earthship). We're now at the point where we can choose next targets -- and we can successfully work through projects throughout the winter. I couldn't be happier -- and more relieved!! I highly recommend working with them for new projects, ongoing projects, as well as emergency fixes."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
A carpenter typically does woodwork involved in constructing a home or other building, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. These tasks are different from the focus of a woodworker, who typically does the finer interior detailed woodwork such as trim and moldings.
The minimum recommended height for a carport is 7 feet tall, but you might need a significantly taller carport to provide clearance for RVs, commercial trucks, or other tall vehicles. You can choose your carport height based on the clearance you need and how the carport looks in comparison to the height of your home. Just keep in mind that building regulations usually dictate a maximum carport height.
Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.
Metal carports are commonly made from steel or aluminum, offering durability and low maintenance.
