"Kurt did an excellent job, saving our windows from needing full replacement. Less experienced carpenters turned down the job as the rot was extensive. Kurt left them looking better than when we purchased the house. He communicated well about the work and always let me know when he'd be arriving. He was also just a really nice person to have around for a long and tedious job -- friendly and pleasant, working hard through a heat wave. I recommend him without hesitation."
"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."
"Excellent service! Highly recommend! David was prompt and very professional. We had damage to our gutters from strong wind gusts. David sent a handy man the same day we called, they repaired the damage quickly, and it was excellent work! Highly reliable!"
"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."
"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."

"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."

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.
Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
