"Jacob quickly responded to my request. He came to look at the job that day. From his first visit and throughout the project he kept in touch. They removed the old cedar siding, repaired the framing and installed new cedar siding. Then they replaced the storm door. It was nice to have a team of men come to do the work. Jacob and Mario are courteous and knowledgeable and work well together. My wall and new door look great. I am very pleased with the quality of the work. I am looking forward to having them do more repairs."

"I am very impressed with the custom wooden ramp Willows Handy Services build for us. Joe did a great job! Its not just functional, it actually looks great with the house! He used pressure- treated lumber added secure and sturdy handrails, and insured the slope was perfect and easy for wheelchair use. It feels extremely safe and stable. The workmanship is excellent and the price was beyond fair. If you need good quality, long lasting custom wood ramp this is the company to call!"

"Dante was very professional in reviewing the project details with me on site and gave me price options which was simple to understand. He was very prompt with his response. I wasn't able to move forward with the project due to unexpected engine repairs for my vehicle. But I will definitely consider reaching out to him when I decide to proceed to move forward."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
