"Leo and his workers were very professional in building a fence for us. They first dismantled the old tired fence the build a wonderful and creative one of a kind fence. He bid it right away and then sent me a copy via email. I was very happy with their work and the pace with which they did the job.. I will hire them for other projects around the place."

"When we first moved to Washington we bought a fixer upper because it was an excellent value. I had used no one in the Washington area before, since we moved here from out of state, and I found Stefan through this site. He is probably the most detail oriented contractor that I have ever worked with. The deck was completely rotted through, my siding as well and I had a collapsed chimney and this was the first time I have ever needed to replace any of these items. He walked me through my options both with careful regard to cost and attention to details that I specifically wanted to use in the deck design. We ended up using a mid-grade composite decking with hidden fasteners and metal in wood frame for the exterior railing. It will likely outlast the home itself it is so solid, and it is the perfect size in comparison with the home and with everything complying to our exacting local code. I have gotten so many compliments from everyone who has come over, including the inspector required by my insurance, and my neighbors are thrilled with the new view. In addition to the deck work, he has replaced our outside siding with concrete board as well as completely redoing the inside chimney, fixing plumbing issues as well as electrical work. Everyone he subcontracted with did exemplary work and I trust him implicitly. He completed the work within our budget. I could not be more pleased with the work, and we will be working with him on any future projects. I would absolutely recommend Stefan to anyone in the future."

"Outstanding! Both buildings were extremely well built. The attention to detail was excellent. Mike kept me informed about when he would be able to start and started exactly when he said he would. He also had some very helpful suggestions and he fixed a problem with my original plan that made the loft much more usable. Mike and his crew also did a great job cleaning up after each building was finished. I will definitely contact Lazer Construction if I need any future construction work."

"When the repair person came to my house to give me a quote on fixing my fan blower. When he heading up our street he saw to horses walking on the road and he stop and was trying to help the horses staying safe. It took about half an hour before the horses were safe in their field. Is someone cares about helping horses and safety of them tells me that his work will be great. He did a super job and was very good on the price of the repair."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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. 

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
