"Brian and his team did an outstanding job. I added a second story deck and a new door from my dining room to access the new deck. I have an older home with all the challenges that come with that on a remodel and their attention to detail was perfect. The team that completed this project were outstanding from start to finish. They were knowledgeable and professional. They worked with me on a couple of design changes mid project and knew just what to do to make everything look like it had always been there. I have worked with a lot of contractors over the years, both in my work life and on home projects, and these guys know what they are doing. Handypro will be my go to contractor for all future projects."

"He installed the generator and serviced it for $5777.00 and everything was great. We then purchased a new home in January 2017 and he was able to move the generator and reinstall it at our new home for $1,016.00. It went perfectly. They were great people doing a great job because they knew what they were doing. The generator still works and we have had no problems. I would recommend him to everyone."

"Paul Fortson was our handyman and he did an awesome job! The list of tasks was long and varied, and included building a partial wall, installing doors, running a little plumbing, moving an electric switch, drywall repair, painting, cutting and putting up molding, installing bath fixtures and grab bars, installing insulation and carpet, basically a little of everything. Paul was skilled, professional, reliable, trustworthy and respectful, everything you would want in a contractor. When necessary, he was creative about finding solutions, which you definitely need with old houses like mine. Would definitely recommend his services!"

"It went great, from the initial conversation with Kelvin to the free quote from Gilmer. Both Kelvin and Gilmer were very professional, courteous, and nice. Gilmer performed the garage door and framing replacement, he was very organized, clean, respectful, knew what he was doing, and very efficient. They were also able to accommodate a very quick timeline for getting hired and perform the work without sacrificing quality service, this was appreciated."

"Crown Development did an amazing job with my basement renovations - they removed an existing wet bar, and reinstalled a new wet bar, cabinets, countertops, hardwood flooring, etc. I hired several contractors before coming in contact with this company, and none of them have compared to Crown Development. The quality, customer service, timeliness, and prices are unmatched."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
