"We had a couple leaky faucets and some loose electrical fixtures wanted a handyman to come take a look. Dakota was great to talk to, giving us an idea of what it would take to fix our plumbing issues and quickly fixing our electrical issues. He charged a very reasonable price ($30), considering that he was at our house for an hour or so"

"Miljan was absolutely amazing. Showed up on time and his communication was great. He got to work on the honey do list ive had for my husband for the past 5 years or so and finished in roughly 6 hours. His pricing was extremely fair. He was careful to not damage my home while working and carrying supplies and materials and he cleaning up during and after his work. I'm extremely happy with his work and will be hiring him for all future work I need done around my home vs. nag my husband and wait for years. Trust me ladies, much more efficient and cost effective to hire Miljan!"

Unfinished 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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

If you’re considering buying a home with known termite damage, you can negotiate with the seller to lower the costs of the house. They might be able to make the damage repairs before handing over the keys or lower the asking price before the deal is agreed upon. It’s vital though that even if you’re winning the negotiation, a home inspection contingency might be a good idea in case of future issues.

Ensures proper sealing and alignment, preventing drafts and improving energy efficiency.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.
