"Konstantin and his crew did an amazing job and the deck looks great. The crew was respectful, pleasant, and hardworking. They did a great job and communicated with us through the process. They offered a lot of options and were able to start almost immediately. I highly recommend Konstantin and his crew and will definitely be hiring these guys in the near future to build us a pole barn/deck."

"I hired this licensed general contractor to repair/replace/recaulk trim and replace a few LVP pieces. Originally asked for a few easy things like rehang a pantry door and closet door, both already had the hardware installed so literally just hanging them,but the bid and pricing for these items made no sense and were billed at twice the rate of the other tasks so we removed those from the bid. Below is a picture of how he did the trim on a two level transition. I had to ask for him to please do a stepdown configuration but he said he couldn't figure it out so he cut a new length of trim and trimmed back the rubber transition to hide the fact the mdf trim had a gap under it. The LVP replacement looked good."

"I was extremely pleased with the two men who worked on my fence project. Arrived on time, very pleasant, didn't waste any time and did a great job. Were very conscientious not to damage any flowers and shrubs that were next to the fence. Cleaned up all the debris that was left and hsuled it away. Only evidence that they were here is a nicely repaired fence."

"Working with PacNorWest for our cabinetry for our new home was one of the highlights of the build process! Dustin and his team were great to work with from Day 1. Dustin was super patient with all of my questions, indecisiveness, back and forth in tweaking the designs, and went above and beyond to educate me and show me options (including meeting me at the residence multiple times, taking me to one of his recently completed projects, and bringing me multiple samples of woods and stains). Our GC also spoke very highly in working and coordinating with the PacNorWest team. Our cabinets are BEAUTIFUL and a highlight of our home. We received quotes from larger cabinet manufacturers and PacNorWest's prices were competitive with truly unbeatable service and quality. I would highly recommend PacNorWest for any of your cabinetry needs!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
