"I had my new refrigerator delivered and it would not fit under the cabinet. I contacted Angie and almost immediately, Mr. Falco, Bruce Falco Carpentry, Inc. contacted me. He did an excellent job in a timely manner with an affordable price. He was professional, knowledgeable and actually cared about doing the job right! I would highly recommend him!"

"Father and Sun Handyman Service did an excellent job installing a carport on the side of my house as well as an automatic dual swing gate opener. Their pricing was very affordable, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. They were genuinely happy, courteous, and easy to have around, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I especially appreciated their creativity and problem-solving skills — they came up with smart solutions whenever challenges came up. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and affordable handyman service"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
