Customers say: Quality work

"We were very impressed by the knowledge and expertise of the owner, Rick Lacey. After our first meeting, we were satisfied that he would build a quality deck for a reasonable price. The entire team was professional at every level of my contact with them. From the initial planning, to periodic updates, to the final follow up. I could not have asked for a better experience. The products they use are some of the best in class, and though not cheap, I got exactly what I hoped and paid for - A beautiful, well constructed deck. Will definitely be calling on them for any future needs in this area. My standards are very high and Lacey Carpentry met or exceeded all of them."

"Very happy with the results of our deck! Eagle Fence was very professional and knowledgeable about the work needing to be done. They added the deck to our existing screened in porch and also installed the solar lights for us. It was completed in a timely manner and they cleaned up all materials, trash, etc. Definitely a great addition for our family during summer time!"

"We hired Handymack for painting our outside but also for several other projects. They painted the exterior of our home, did carpentry work to update the look and give it curb appeal, Put in our kitchen floor, painted the kitchen and put up the tile back splash. Mack and staff can do anything you ask and it will turn out better than you imagined in your head. HandyMack delivers on their promises. The crew came every day on time and stayed for 8 or 9 hours. They are extremely hard working and reliable. They also are very competitive with their pricing and fair. I would highly recommend to anyone needing renovations, painting, construction on their homes. I am thrilled we found someone we can rely on. HandyMack and his crew are top notch. We will be using them again for further projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
