"Jason Lindgren is a top notch, quality, consummate contractor who is very creative. Jason took on the remodel of a very old cabin, parts of which were nearly a century old. The results were better than we hoped for - largely due to Jason's creativity. His work is impeccable and he communicated with us every step of the way. We highly recommend Jason and he will be our go to guy for any future projects!!!"

"Jamie was recommended to me by a friend of mine who said that he did excellent work. I was remodeling my kitchen and bought some prefab kitchen cabinets I needed installed. I gave him a call, and he showed up the same day to give me a very fair and free estimate. After we agreed, he showed up the next day to get started. He was friendly, stayed on task, and was very efficient. I was very impressed with Jamie's work, and would highly recommend him to anyone I know."

"Fernando and his amazing crew are totally professional, skilled, courteous, knowledgeable and - my personal favorite - reliable! Their work habits are impeccable, they leave the work area neat as a pin even if they are going to return the following day. The finished product was even better than I had envisioned. Their pricing is more than fair and they go above and beyond the normal expectation to provide exactly what the customer wants. I highly recommend FRG Handyman for any project they consider themselves qualified to perform. You will not be disappointed. Side note: The fact that every one of them is polite, kind and absolutely stunning in appearance is just an added positive note :) They will be called on by us for any future project we might have."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

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. 

The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job. 

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.
