"Handyman JC was on time and courteous. I needed some help with my AC, re-caulking my tub, and a special carpentry project (I needed a removable screen above my front door to keep birds out). Price was reasonable. I have more projects and plan to contact him again in the near future!"

"There are truly not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Rosalin and the incredible work he created for our home. From the very beginning, he poured his whole heart into building our floating staircase, and it shows in every detail. The moment we finalized our contract, demolition began almost immediately, and he worked day and night to bring our vision to life. Our staircase has become the heart of our home and the first thing everyone compliments when they walk in. The ambient lighting and organic luxury design completely transformed our space and created such a warm, earthy atmosphere in our forever home. Beyond his craftsmanship, Rosalin’s positive attitude, humility, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients made this experience unforgettable. He took so much pride in his work, and we will always be grateful for the beautiful centerpiece he created for our family. We truly could not recommend him more!"

"We hired GC Bauer to put new siding on our house. Their work, level of professionalism, and customer service were excellent! We’re subsequently even hired them to install our glass sliding door, paint, and do some roof repair. They were great, and affordable! I highly recommend this company."

"Everything went exceptionally well. Leno explained exactly what how he would perform the repairs to my doors and stairs in easy-to-understand terms. He arrived early was very efficient and most professional. Best of all he is a very likable young man. He is now my go to guy for any handyman services I may require in the future. Thanks so much Leno!"

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

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. 

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
