"Tracy dismantled and hauled away our old wooden wheelchair ramp. He was very efficient and personable. As a senior citizen in very uncertain times, I was quite comfortable hiring him to get the job done. I've never had a contractor who cleaned up as he went. I was extremely happy with his work. I'd give him 200 stars!"

Customers say: True professional

"These guys are fabulous! If I could give them 10 stars I would. They are professional, reasonably priced for the wok price they do, and they do great work. I have used them on many projects large and small for over 5 years. They have done both interior and exterior work, from painting to landscaping, to construction, to home repair. They have ALWAYS completed the work on time and with exceptional quality."

"While Barry may come across as a little odd at first, he's a true gem as far and handymen go. He keeps his appointments, he calls ahead, he communicates any difficulties and any necessary changes, double checks on any choices that need to be made.



The job took quite a bit longer than estimated and there for a moment I had my doubts that these projects would ever come together. It was a huge mess for a while, but when all was said and done, all jobs were done perfectly and he cleaned up really well after himself.



I own an older home and inevitably there are problems and surprises with any job done on this house, so the jobs took quite a bit longer than anticipated. However, I was not charged an outrageous amount of labor because of that. And he had given me a shopping list prior to the job, so I could purchase the items I wanted. There were a few things that were needed throughout the job. He went ahead and picked those up at the store, paid with his own funds and provided receipts for everything at the end of the job so I could reimburse him.



Altogether a great experience. He will be my go-to handy man from now on.

"The repair went well and looks good. I had to provide all of the materials and do all of the preparation. But for the cost, it was fair. And the carpenter cleaned up afterwards and left everything stacked nicely. The experience was a little less personal than I typically like.

"The porch was over done. Adam made sure it would never move. He was absolutely awesome to work with. He adjusted as needed, and made sure everything was perfect. We couldn’t be happier! And every day the crew cleaned up so the dogs didn’t have “chew toys” that were bad for them! He absolutely builds from the heart!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
