"The job was completed on schedule, with some long nights put in. My wife has hardly left the porch since they screened it in. Customer service was without compare. A more energetic team would be hard to come by."

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.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
