"Lucas did an excellent job and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and paid attention to detail. The quality of his work was top-notch, and his pricing was fair and honest. It’s refreshing to find someone as reliable as Luke. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a skilled handyman."

"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!"

"Jason is a hard worker and committed to getting the job done right and in a reasonable amount of time. For us he completed our entire staircase in 1 day. He took up the carpet and put down wood for the steps, sanded and caulked areas and more! This job was enough for 2 people but he did it all himself. It looks fantastic and ready for the final job which is painting. Thank you Jason! You are the BEST!!! Kind regards, The Kings"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

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.
