"Doug did an outstanding job on repairing my sagging gate. I was a week out from closing on my home and he fit me in his schedule to make sure it was repaired on time. Not only is he efficient but he was very communicative throughout the process. You can tell he genuinely enjoys his craft and is very appreciative of the business he receives. I will definitely look to hire him on any upcoming projects."

Customers say: True professional

"While doing some remodeling we noticed that the exterior door frame to the back yard was completely rotted. So of course the wife makes a honey-do-list and the husband, try’s fixing it. It didn’t work out as planned and had to find a contractor to come fix the job. After several calls, JT’s was the first one that could come out the exact same day!! So thankful! And he didn’t charge an arm and a leg! Hopefully we won’t have to, but would definitely contact him again if needed :) he is the first person I would call if you are reading this comment! You won’t regret it!"

"I recently had a fence installed and couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the entire process was smooth and professional. The team showed up on time, communicated clearly, and paid close attention to detail throughout the project. The quality of the workmanship really stands out-the fence is sturdy, well-aligned, and looks fantastic. They took the time to make sure everything was done right, and it shows in the finished product. The crew was also respectful of the property, leaving the area clean and organized when the job was complete. What impressed me most was their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-quality fence and a stress-free experience. Five stars all the way!"

"Clayton was the handyman for our extensive rental portfolio for three years. He did everything: renovations, appliance repair, landscaping, etc. He is by far the best, most trustworthy contractor we have ever had. He has an organized mind and heart of gold. I cannot recommend him enough. It was a major loss to us when he left. Grab a hold of this guy while you can, because pretty soon he will be all booked up with other clients!"

"He did an awesome job. Took down the old deck and replaced all new boards on top. He only had to replace a couple underneath the deck. I would hire him again and would recommend him to anybody. He is reasonable with his pricing."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.
