"John Matson is a perfectionist. And the work he did in my condo was perfect! He is a highly skilled carpenter. He was extremely professional and provided outstanding customer service. He was a delight to work with. I wish I had more work for him to do so that I could engage him again. I highly recommend him."

"Ferney was excellent! He responded back within a reasonable time and was able to get the job done the next day. He took special care to ensure that all three furniture pieces were assembled beautifully and properly. I will always call him in the future. Very Happy!"

"I have been searching for a fence installer for months, and I was thrilled to finally hear back from Simmons Handyman Services. Most of the estimates I received were way too high, and I felt like they weren't really listening to what I wanted. Demetrius, on the other hand, not only listened to my needs but also gave me some great recommendations on how to save money on the project. He was responsive, selected the materials needed online - I paid for via the cart link - picked it up and carted the old fence away. The fence turned out even more attractive than I had imagined. I will definitely be using his services again for future projects."

"I have used Matt and his company for almost 12 years. He has done small and huge jobs in our condo and then our single family home. I can’t say enough about our experience with him each and every time. I have referred him more times than I can keep track and anyone who has worked with him has the same things to say. He has a wonderful eye for design and detail, and makes excellent suggestions and helps guide choices as needed. He always answers the phone when I call and on numerous occasions has dropped everything to meet me at a store to help purchase or make decisions. He is 100% reliable - when he says he will be there at 8am, he is in front of the house at 7:50 and waiting for the clock to turn before he knocks when he said he would! When he estimates the work will take 5 days, or 2 or 3 weeks, it is done in that time frame and never over. His pricing is incredibly fair - period, but also for the quality of work and his responsiveness that you will get as part of the pricing. Lastly, he is simply one of the nicest people I know. Soft spoken and humble, combined with confidence and strength. He is and will always be our “go to” for all things home related."

"What an incredible experience. Contacted them for siding consult, Chris from sales was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Gave us great recommendations for the design. We signed up and wow the siding was here in less than 10 days. The installers, Led by Daniel were incredible. They were courteous, friendly, neat and they were fast! You could see pride of work as they were doing the project. They were also on time each day, were there when they said they would be. AJ our project manager was awesome as well..Communicated frequently so we always knew what to expect. We are thrilled with our new home, siding is beautiful, this team is stellar! If we could give a 100 rating we would!"

"Couldn't ask for a more professional team! I needed to update two bathrooms for my parents and Ruben was prompt to respond to my request and start the project. Throughout the process, he provided his professional expertise to ensure that my family will have functional, safe, and beautiful bathrooms. Ruben and Milton were courteous, on time, professional, and mindful of the typical construction clutter than can build up in a small condo. He even accommodated my unusual design requests. I will definitely hire again for future projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
