"I hired JPL Handymen to build my deck. After seeing what a good job they did, I hired them to paint the inside of my house andpressure wash the outside of my house. I will definitely hire them again for their professionalism and quality of work."

"I employed Mr. Tatum to repair and refresh a rental property which sold for much more than I expected. I have since hired Mr. Tatum to completely remodel two other properties, which includes all of the options on the above "select work done box" and more. Both of these properties have appraised for much more than what has been invested into them. Mr. Tatum does excellent work for reasonable prices. I have recommended him to colleagues, family and friends."

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.

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

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.
