"When Robert and Frank arrived we discussed what we needed done as well as asked about other jobs we were considering to see if they would be able to do them in the future. Fixing the handicap rail was a godsend as well as replacing the batteries in all 10 smoke alarms. We also had our laundry door rehung as it needed to be switched from opening in to opening out. They cleaned up after they completed all jobs even though we find them it was not necessary. It was truly appreciated. I encourage anyone that needs a handy man hire Robert you will not be disappointed. I know we are getting out to do list together and our supplies so Robert can help us again. He even preformed a magic trick which was fun. I have nothing but praise for Robert and look forward to working with him again in the near future."

"Sergio and his assistant were excellent! I had several carpentry jobs and a couple electrical jobs and he did them all. I feel fortunate to find someone I can call now to help with things i need done around the property. Very reasonable priced and well worth the cost!"

"This 70+ yr old table needed refinishing due to neglect as well as sitting in water during a hurricane flood. It was refinished to perfection! Beautiful wood on top and the legs look unblemished. Would do it again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
