"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."
"We wanted to repair our old wood deck where I was hoping to replace the boards and the railings. I got a few quotes, some were > 10k some were about 5K. Mr Iglis quoted a price that was very reasonable but then he also explained the pros and cons of repair vs replace with vinyl and his price was again very reasonable. He did remove everything and replaced with a new Trex boards all for price which was reasonable. The quality of work was excellent including how he waterproofed the structural frame. He kept me informed on progress and any hiccups. Overall, I will highly recommend Hasa Home Improvement."
"Very well!! Brian did a great job installing 4 custom blinds in my home. Brian measured the rest of our widows and offered sound advice on how to accurately order blinds for them. I highly recommend Brian for his handyman services."
"Highly recommend! Najeeb was up front about his hourly charge and 2 hour minimum. He came over to review and discuss my various projects before giving me a time estimate. Najeeb worked with me on syncing our schedules, to meet my time frame. He arrived on time, was competent, professional, and displayed patience with the picture hanging: â up a little more. To the left. Sorry, I meant right. No, can you go down a smidge?â He had all the tools necessary to complete the various tasks for this set of projects. I have more tasks on my list and look forward to working with Najeeb again soon. Again, I highly recommend Hamdan Handyman. Iâ ve had other folks come in to do work in my home. I am so happy to have finally found someone who is so professional and does such a great job, that I wonâ t hesitate to hire him for more than miscellaneous tasks, when that time comes. A pleasure to work with."
"Daniel’s work is exceptional. He refinished my 38 year old dining set and it looks like new. Great attention to detail and knowledge. I’m so pleased I’m having him refinish a very old dresser also."

"I do really like their work they are absolutely pro and work to my satisfaction they did change my basement floor into a new look totally amazing I would definitely recommend them for flooring concrete and walls framing"
"Dan went above and beyond in what I had expected to get accomplished. It was the extra mile that Dan and his guy Chris went in order to make my basement look brand new. This included installing and framing a new door and framing a window. He also fixed all the other little things that weren't originally something i had asked for! Very polite and extremely knowledgeable. I was impressed, great guy and a great team, many thanks."
Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
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.
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.
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
