"The deck is awesome! The quality, attention to detail and appearance exceeded my expectations! Joe and crew were top notch. They were in and finished in two days, they started when they said, no delays. I would definitely recommend and use Homecore again."

"These guys can do anything. I had them replace the floor in my tile shower, install an attic door, and add a new facial, and siding on my garage. They show up when they say, and work all day."

I am a small town guy, who takes great quality in my craftsmanship at anything I do. I have alot of different types of handyman services i can offer, whether it be you're needing some flooring done, a tile shower, a backslash. I can install most of any type of hardware and assemble your furniture if needed and show you how to use it as well. If you need your gutters cleaned, replaced, or vinyl soffit. Also do pressure washing and some landscaping as well as well as deck repairs. I would absolutely love to have your business! I treat all my clients with respect and treat you like family.

Small jobs welcome

Need a Handyman? We Finally Decided to Make It Official.\n\nSure, we're "new" to the handyman business... but only because we've spent the last 7 years flipping houses instead of printing business cards.\n\nWe've repaired, replaced, installed, painted, patched, and occasionally stared at a project wondering, "Who on earth did this?" (Then we fixed it.)\n\nWhether it's a leaky faucet, squeaky door, drywall repair, trim work, light fixtures, flooring, or that ever-growing honey-do list, we've probably tackled it before—just in houses we owned.\n\nWhy choose us?\n\n7 years of real, hands-on home renovation experience\nHonest work at fair prices\nWe show up when we say we will (crazy concept, we know)\nWe treat your home like it's one of our flips—minus the "For Sale" sign.\n\nDon't let that little repair become tomorrow's expensive repair. Give us a call, and we'll get it fixed right the first time.\n\nBecause duct tape is a temporary solution... no matter what your uncle says.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

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.
