"Adam is a trustworthy and dedicated professional. He takes great pride in his work and his project management exceeds expectations. I hired him again to build multi projects in our new home in the city. He had done a superb job when I've referred him to other homeowners as well."

"My contractor was great and very knowledgeable. I was in the beginning stages of a kitchen remodel and wasn?t sure exactly what my limitations for the space would be. He came and gave me an estimate for the paint and helped me map out the layout of other changes such as cabinetry and put me in contact with someone for my specific flooring needs. By the end it really turned my kitchen into a functional space with a brighter layout. It was a reassuring process, very quick and detailed. He was realistic with all expectations and I would definitely use them again."

"So I used Angie's List to narrow down my 3 main choices for a major exterior home improvement project. I got quotes from the 3, and decided on Make A Choice. It was definitely the 'right' choice. The work was done quickly and professionally. Great care was taken to cause little disturbance to neighbors who are VERY close in proximity to my house. Step 1: Siding: These guys were fast, and I mean fast. They blazed through the demolition of the old siding, vacuum sealed the sides, and put up my new hardy board. Just like that it was done and done right. Then it was painted (well) and the house began to look brand new. Step 2: Soffit: I almost didn't spring for soffit, and that would have been a big mistake. These guys did an amazing job on the soffit which now has the under siding looking amazing!! Most impactful thing I had done. All the neighbors are jealous! Step 3: Porch: I asked for a 'beefier' porch, and that is what I got. Amazing railings and new columns. I had them put a band about a foot down from the top of the columns and they really stand out now. The railing is double thick on the top and they are taller now, and the whole thing is the envy of the neighborhood. I also asked for a 'dental trim' and expected a strip from Home Depot or something. Nope. They custom made it, curved and impactful. Above and beyond. Step 4: Gutters: The gutters they installed go so seamlessly with the soffit that you can barely tell they are there! Beautiful and they put in a complete system where some needed gutters had been left out from the initial house build. The match to the rest of the house is uncanny. Step 5: Door: This they outsourced to a guy who also blew me away with a professional install and removal of my old door. Cleanup was done after each major renovation and at finish and everything was pretty close to "move in" ready. They did destroy a cement fountain, but patched it up so you could hardly tell. (I knew I should have moved that thing out of the way!) The only non-10 out of 10 would be the trim painting on the porch and windows, which got a bit rushed with bad weather, and even that gets a 9-10, with the only little things I could catch being quite 'nit-picky'. Overall, this company delivered in spades on the goods it promised and they were very responsive throughout the whole process. I would 100% use them again without hesitation for any other external house projects!! Priced competitively and delivering results that exceeded my expectations."

"Mr. Handyman of Canton and Woodstock has provided me with literally thousands of dollars of work over the last couple of months, ranging from cabinet building/repairing, painting, plumbing (removing and installing new vanities in bathrooms), drywall repair, installing new light fixtures, carpentry work (cutting and installing wainscoting/judges panels), and even installing suspended storage racks in my garage. The quality of their work is outstanding, with the form, fit and finish at the highest level. For that reason, I keep going back to them over and over again to complete my next list of "honey-do" projects. I am particularly impressed with Rick Grooms, whose skills and experience across all the "trades" are at the craftsman level. Moreover, Rick is a pleasure to work with in that he has a very pleasant and warm personality, a professional attitude, and a customer-focused desire to please his clients. I would very strongly recommend Mr. Handyman of Canton and Woodstock!"

"Matt was a great carpenter with craftsmanship with the pursuit for perfection. He installed large size crown moldings for 4 rooms with many corners, every corner was perfect and looks very professionally finished! We couldn’t be happier with the result."

"They repaired my front steps which had some issues from a DIFFERENT contractor building it. Not only did he repair some bad boards, he replaced a lot of boards with MUCH cleaner cuts. It looks so much nicer than it did before. Robert went beyond what was quoted, got it done on schedule, was very flexible, and was very pleasant to work with. Robert did the work - this was not a contractor with some random crew banging out a project, but instead a craftsman who clearly takes pride in his work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
