"Excellent job. He completed four projects: secured a fridge for earthquake safety, mounted flatscreen to wall, shortened legs to a stool to be a chair and put in a safety grab-bar in restroom. He was pleasant to work with, follows good home care by wearing shoe coverings upon entering residence. Reasonable and economical fees for services. We’ll be calling on Art for all our handyman needs!"

"Oh MY GOODNESS, this company and Ishmel and his team are AMAZING. They worked so hard for us and did anything we asked and worked until 5:30 a.m. because we did a move that was over 5 hours away, so they moved us out of one house, then drove 5 hours, then they moved us into another house, then they drove another 5 hours, this was a SUPER long day, almost 16 hours, WOW I have never seen 3 people work so hard and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Pro Movers.....they are BEYOND PRO movers they are GO MOVERS, they just go for it and then do an incredible job. I dont even know if they ate during that whole time. We are SUPER SUPER SUPER appreciative of this amazing crew. Thank you PRO MOVERS, all I can say is you went ABOVE and BEYOND for us!!! Thank you so so so much."

"We had a great experience with Mejia's on a very complex fence project. Approx 140 feet of fencing, completely falling apart and surrounded by multiple issues (tree trunks, overgrowth, concrete, a hill side, etc.) They evaluated us quickly, the quote came in on target, they scheduled us immediately and stayed in communication with us every step of the way. The work only took a couple days and the cleanup they did on the job site had our land looking better than when they arrived. Best of all the fence turned out five-star-top-quality and ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. If you hire these guys for your project, rest assured you've made the right choice."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
