"This was the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had. They did custom picture frame moldings on a wall based on my drawings I had sketched on a napkin, and they did both stories of my home with crown molding. They were clean, kind, fair price, honest, and above all the work is flawless. I mean in any room, any floor, any corner I challenge you to find any flaw. Completely seamless. This is the guy for your project, so stop reading and call them!"

"I wish there were more stars to give to Carlos. He’s not only an excellent human being, but also an exceptional carpenter and magician as well. His attention to detail is simply amazing, his workmanship is impressive and the quality of his work outstanding. The piece of furniture I needed him to build wasn’t overly difficult, but when we realized the condition of the wall and the floor around it might make it more complicated - he still worked his magic and made it all work-out beautifully. He always comes accompanied by his wife, Ines, and they are both the nicest, hardest working people I have ever met. A joy to work with...A rare find these days. I just want to have more projects so I can call them again!!!"

"Contractor arrived a little earlier than the agreed time (which was a pleasant surprise). Work was completed quickly and competently. He was hired to install a front door lock, which he did. But additionally, he added a few more screws to the frame of the door to resolve an minor issue with the door sagging in its frame (which was also a pleasant surprise). I am looking forward to working with this company again."

"Kyle came by my condo, listened patiently to my needs and gave me a fair quote to do the work. He returned the next day and completed all the work skillfully and expeditiously. Kyle insisted we walk around the condo together to confirm all the work was done to my satisfaction. The work done included painting, caulking and handyman work. Kyle clearly showed pride in his work and concern for me, his customer. I will hire him again without hesitation and would recommend his company to anyone needing handyman services."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
