"I love their work and they are very friendly, kind and professional and that is very important. Price is reasonable and time frame for work is exceptional. I took this photo and pictures don't do justice as to the quality of their work."

"Outstanding results. It was so much more than expected! Donald and his crew just did an outstanding job on removing our old fence, building the new, custom fence and cleaning up afterward. He also made sure that our every concern was answered and taken care of! Thank you Donald and great crew! We couldn't be happier!"

"I would definitely recommend Mr. Handyman for any job. You had around the house that you could not handle the 2 technicians who came out and worked on the project that I had were very professional of. J.R. was especially attentive to my needs. He explained what he was doing why he was doing it and whether or not I wanted it done. And I really appreciated the fact that he took the time to explain what he was doing to me and. Why it was in his main opinion, the best course to take. I am going to use them again for another project and I am very, very satisfied."

"Emanuel Schmidt (owner) and his crew, although having been in business for just a few years, was exceptional to work with. From the communications, to the quality of workmanship for the price, to the customer service provided, to the respect they showed me as a homeowner, to the final walkthrough for quality that Emanuel came and did prior to final payment.........I can't say enough about how well they worked with me on this job. I had changed my mind several times in the process as we were picky about the deck we wanted to add to our above ground swimming pool. Materials were composite for the deck, and he completed the job an ample time for our needs. I would highly recommend PLS Construction in the future to anyone needing quality Amish craftmanship. Thank you to Emanuel and his crew. Please call me if you want a reference about PLS."

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the excellent work you recently completed at my home. The new deck installation looks fantastic, and the quality of the boards/craftsmanship really stand out. It’s clear that great attention to detail was executed, and the final result exceeded my expectations. I also appreciate the thorough pressure washing done on the front of the house. It made a big difference, and really refreshed the exterior look of my home. Throughout the process, your team was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Everything was completed on time and with care. I’m extremely satisfied with the work and would be happy to recommend your services to others. Thanks again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
