"Gordon was pleasant and responsive. He was professional and treated us with respect. He saw the importance of getting the work in a timely manner and completed the project in the timeline we expected (especially given COVID, pulling permits, winter, and holidays!). GR General Contracting was recommended to us by a friend who had a good experience, and we would absolutely recommend him to others as well. Additionally, they had the best price for the work compared to other contractors."

"Can’t say enough about Jorge and the team…they were professional, timely, and completed project in less than 1 week. I’ve never worked with a contractor/ tradesperson that delivered on every step in the process so timely. I am now waiting for phase 2 of project. Look know further than PM Servuces."

"For starters this guy (Len) and his crew did an outstanding job. I am really picky and not exactly easy to work for - I will admit. I don't mind paying a fair price but I expect the work to be excellent, not just good, but excellent. Nothing worse than lousy worksmanship.
This painter exceeded my expectations. I wanted my ceilings painted white and the walls a different color, plus I have crown molding to deal with and I needed the lines to be perfect - they were. I just can't say enough on how happy I am with the work. It feels like I am in a new home. I don't think I will ever look for other bids when I need painting after this experience.
The price was very competitive as well, plus  he honored a discount for me looking him up on Angies List. Other bids came in higher and the contractors were not nearly as responsive as Len. He came to my house promply to a**** and provide a bid. I found him to be very patient and very polite. He was very helpful with suggestions with color and type of paint. When it came time for the work he was on time and finished on time. My house was spotless when he was done. Prior to payment he wanted to make sure I was happy with the work, if not he would make it right.
I rarely have an experience this pleasant when dealing with contractors. If I could provide an A+ rating I would. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top quality painter. I strongly doubt you will be disappointed with Len and his crew.
I will be needing more work done and will not hesitate to have him do the work.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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. 

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

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.
