"Kevin is a very kind and good carpenter. He tries to do the best job possible for what he has to work with. In our case the foundation was bad so there was limited possibilities he had to work with."

"Best carpenter you can find! He does beautiful, high quality work. He is kind and respectful too. He brought our stairs up to code, did all of the millwork and built us a really nice modern, linear bannister. He also helped fix cabinets that a contractor messed up."

"Dean and crew did an absolutely amazing job building an A framed patio cover to support year round grilling and summer shade needs. Dean provided a detailed quote so I knew he understood our vision for the project. He provided timely communication throughout. He took his time to ensure the project was completed professionally. They cleaned up the job site every afternoon before leaving. The quality of craftsmanship was excellent and they replaced additional siding on the back of the house so the project flowed smoothly with the existing structure. We are extremely satisfied and will not hesitate to hire Dean and Opportunity Construction for our next remodel project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.
