"bathroom walk-in shower remodel???- I would highly recommend American Handy Hands to anyone. They did a walk-in shower for me for my disabled husband and then actually ended up doing more updating while they already here working. Dustin Collins was great at coming by and getting me a quote on my job and within a few days of the quote they were ready to start the job. The guys (Mike, Robbie and Jay) and Daniel (ceiling repair), I could not have not asked for any greater guys to have done the job. Everyone was a true blessing to me and my husband. I have already talked to Dustin about more jobs I am looking forward to him doing for me in the very near future. If you are needing anything done, please do not hesitate to give American Handy Hands a call. I don?t think you will be disappointed."

"We're very happy with the results. The floor is much more level, and you can tell throughout the house--doors that used to swing shut on their own now stay in place. The floor also feels much more secure; things on the counters don't shake when you walk by anymore. The crew came on time each day and completed the work within the time frame they said they would, despite some bad weather."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
