"Yari and Alturo went out of their way to squeeze me into their busy schedule. I needed to prepare my house to be sold. They brought in extra help to complete the job so the photographers could meet their time line. Alturo recommended I hold off on painting the entire exterior suggesting instead that painting the gutters and facia would make the existing paint color pop. He was correct and saved me a lot of money. I recommend them without any reservations."

"He did an excellent job renovating my primary and the guest bathrooms. He gave me a reasonable estimate and he also gave a time frame from start to end and did the job within that time frame. I got 3 estimates from 3 different handymen but I am glad I hired Palma’s Handyman Pro. The bathrooms look great. He truly is a professional and easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend him."

"Josh, Jay, Tommy and their crew were all extremely professional, conscientious and very respectful. They honestly went above and beyond and when they said "the most important thing is that you are happy with the job" they meant it. Had to tweak a few things here and there and truly aimed to please. Can't say enough good things about the philosophy of this company and their employees...you won't be disappointed. They did a total renovation of the front yard and lanai landscaping..nothing but compliments from the neighbors.."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
