We provide a wide variety of home maintenance services to include deck repairs, remodeling, fence repairs, painting, gutter cleaning, yard drainage systems, drywall repairs, light fixtures, window installation and much more. We have experience with commercial and residential working environments. At SJS Handyman we believe in a three pillar concept of trust, respect and integrity and that it's those three concepts that build lasting relationships with our clients.

"I obtained Scott's contact information from a neighbor after moving to the area. On his first day, he improperly installed one side of a railing, leaving me perplexed about his lack of basic tools, like a level. His partner mentioned he had been informed about the mistake. Upon returning to fix it the following day, my concerns grew. Months later, a baluster fell due to poor installation; I discovered that he had only secured one-third of the balusters with screws, using nails for the remainder. This led to warping from outdoor exposure, necessitating the replacement of all ten balusters I ordered. Recently, while leaning on the railing, it shifted under my weight. Despite contacting Scott, he has not responded. I strongly advise against hiring SJS Handyman; their unprofessionalism includes delayed work, unexcused absences, and the inappropriate use of old materials in the project."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Not all wood that’s been softened by termites needs to be replaced. You may be able to salvage wood using a wood hardener instead of replacing beams. However, you’ll need to hire a structural engineer to assess the damage and the overall stability of the wood before making a replacement plan.

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. 

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.

Yes, a bowed wall can be straightened in several ways. If the bowing is minimal, it can often be straightened by installing anchors or straps. For more severe basement wall bowing, your contractor might need to excavate the soil outside the foundation and pull the wall back into its original position to straighten it.
