"Carport Support Posts replacement. Home Worx quote was comparable to the three other quotes we received. Repair work was started within a few days of acceptance of quote. The project was completed in a timely manner and with great craftsmanship. Dave was reliable and knowledgeable about the work and code requirements. We appreciated how Dave kept us apprised to each step in the completion of the carport posts replacement. Clean up of the work site was quick and efficient. We would not hesitate to employ Home Worx, LLC in any future projects and we highly recommend Dave and his company. Jane B, Lynnwood"

"Great Service, I reached out for a dry rot siding that has non-standard planks. Matt customized the siding planks to match my existing siding and repaired the leak as well. He did the work so well that I further hired him to repair another poor job from the another big contractor company that repaired my wind storm damage from a few years ago. Highly recommended."

"Was the only contractor that called me back right away. Scheduled an appt on the phone. Got the project completed before the time frame he suggested. Very friendly. Showed many different jobs he has done. Those photos are amazing. Always a bit early every day to make sure the guys knew what they were doing for the day. Would totally use these guys again."

"The team of brothers came right on time, listened intently during the walk through for design and executed the fence build in a single day. Granted I had already sunk the posts in their locations, but the guys were fast, efficient and built a beautiful fence."

"The crew was polite and professional. No nonsense, and had a hustle to their cadence. As a retired framing contractor I was pleased to see this efficiency as the job was completed in a timely manner. Impressed they took the time to stop and ask me how I wanted a particular aspect plumbed when in doubt. The job was done cleanly and it looks great. Highly recommended A !"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
