"My first handyman did a terrible job. The second one I hired never showed up. I called Big D's. He came out quickly, gave me an estimate and a time. He completed the project doing an excellent job and no surprises. You couldn't go wrong hiring them for your projects."

"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 building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
