"Kurt did a great job and was very efficient. He was able to repair all rot, and at a fraction of the cost of several other estimates. He repaired several window frames and replaced some of the baseboards. I was worried about having to replace siding, but only one small piece had to be replaced. Kurt is a great contractor and is very reliable and honest. We are planning to hire him to do more work on the back of our house."

"Najeeb came in, evaluated the job site and needs and made short order of finishing the project. He is always polite, timely and freely shares his experience and knowledge. The wall was not a routine patch; more like a replacement. I absolutely will rehire and recommend Hamdan Handyman LLC."

"Gove Restoration completed a few very different projects at my mother’s house in Newington. First, they replaced 40 year old back steps and did a full exterior paint job of shingles and shudders on the house and other buildings in the backyard. Inside the house, they updated her 60 year old bathroom including replacing the bathtub with a walk in shower safe for use of an 80 year old. My mother and the rest of the family are so happy with the results which shows the breadth of work that they can do. Matt Gove made the process so easy everyone by carefully outlining the intended scope of work, regularly updating us on progress, and following through on all commitments. All of the members of Matt’s team who worked on the various projects at my mother’s house treated her with kindness and consideration such that she never felt uncomfortable with anyone who came to the house. This was a huge relief for me since I live out of state and knew that she would be home alone during the work. I couldn’t recommend Gove Restoration more for any kind of contracting work!"

"We had a great experience with Arnold's Masonry. After interviewing several local masons, we chose Arnold to build a concrete sidewalk from our front steps to our driveway. We hired Arnold for his obvious knowledge, expertise, and experience. There was excellent communication and customer service throughout the process. We love our new sidewalk, and we highly recommend Arnold's Masonry!"

"Agile Construction was very professional. They asked what needed to get done and then came in and executed it flawlessly. They were able to answer my questions and explained the work and their methodology. They came to repair my window sill. And it looks way better than before."

"I hired CRS painting to install wainscoting and paint my bathroom. They provided me with a quote on a Saturday and finished the work by the following Friday. They are professional, conscientious and the quality of the work is superior. I would hire them again for my next job."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
