"JC did a great job. He built a platform for my garage so I could put my jetski under , allowing me to store on top of it. He was on time to give an estimate and completed the job on time. It looks great!"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring PurePower Wash and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I contacted them for a quote, the customer service was top notch. They were friendly, professional and responsive, answering all my questions. On the scheduled day, the technicians arrived on time, equipped with the latest state of the art power wash equipment. Throughout the process, I was impressed with their attention to detail and their commitment to delivering the best results. I also appreciated the safety measures. They made sure all windows, outdoor furniture and plants were protected during the power wash. Not only did they do an outstanding job, they also finished within the estimated time, which was impressive given the size of the job. I highly recommend PurePower Wash for anyone in need of reliable and high quality power wash services. They exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be using their services in the future. Five stars all the way!"

I am a local handyman and yard/house clean-up specialist. Things like trim work, flooring, and rough carpentry are my go-to as long with landscaping services such as material moving and off-hauling.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

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.

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.

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.
