Customers say: True professional

"He explained to me why I have been having trouble with the storm door since it was installed and finally tightened the frame so that it shut firmly. I have had this looked at both by the company that installled it and by another handyman before and they had not helped. He also reattached some wood onto a removable window grid and inserted the grid into the window so that it finally stayed put, which, again, it has not done for some time. He was straightforward, pleasant and very fair.

"Fantastic work! Myles Dover and his associate did a bang up job replacing my treads and risers with new red oak planks. It required careful work, intricate cuts and precision. They did a FIRST RATE JOB! They were professional, ethical and friendly. VERY EASY TOO WORK WITH!!! I have already booked him for two other jobs at my house. USE HIM!!!"

"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.

"Replaced 3 privacy fence post. This required digging out the concrete to place new posts. They used a form cement that was setup in 15 minutes. They reinstalled the original fencing. They removed all concrete and rotted posts. The project took longer then they had expected."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
