"My wife and I are new to Florida and we bought a home here. We hired Mohammed as a handyman. He was AMAZING! We had him install three ceiling fans to start. All the fans hang & work great and the blinds are straight. After this we asked him to hang some blinds that didn?t quite fit the window? he cut them perfectly and hung them! Later he noticed me struggling to hang a shower rod and he knocked it out for me. We also asked him to put up a mailbox in our yard, install a Ring doorbell, put together a queen size guest bed and finally assemble a living room tv stand. He worked quickly and diligently at all tasks. We are blessed to have received his help. Mohammed gets our highest rating for knowledge, job execution and price!!! -Denver & Maggie"

"Gary came to the rescue in a closet disaster. One of the closet rod supports had broken and pulled out of the wall in the main bedroom, threatening to dump the entre closet’s contents on the floor. The only place available to put the closet contents was on my beed which was needed for sleeping. Gary quickly made emergency repairs to hold the rod up for the weekend and was here bright and early Monday with the materials to make the fix permanent. I am confident that the rod supports will never give way again. His carpentry skills and painting skills are excellent. The finished product always looks very good and the manages to do any job without creating a mess. He cleans up what little dust and debris he makes and always leaves everything better than he found them."

"They were great. They fixed the mistake i made in making a piece of furniture. They installed my wire racking in the cupboards and assembled a coffee table from Wayfair. They were very courteous and helpful. I will use them again."

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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. 

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
