"Excellent! Great job restoring wood deck floors, 3 sets of stairs, built in benches and railings. Mark did a great job. His assistant Phyllis was awesome. Joanna is friendly and quote was fair and reasonable. Completed quickly and removed all old wood. Will definitely call for future projects."

"Excellent. I called 6 places and only Mr Handyman would help. The office staff was so helpful and worked to get us help. The repairman that came out was very professional and knowledgeable. As importantly he was very considerate of my elderly father. Wonderful service."

"They picked up the project that we could not finish. We had already bought the majority of the materials. They gave us a reasonable estimate for the deck, so we asked them to also quote the screened in porch. They finished all within 2 weeks. There was excellent communication and they were both very professional. I would recommend Nate and Mike!"

"This was the second roof repair I’ve had Accredited Roofing take care of, and once again they did a great job. They showed up early, got the repair done quickly, and made the whole process easy. Steve was very friendly, helpful, and informative, and he always responded right away whenever I had a question. After using them twice now, I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing roof work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
