"The Perfect Edge Painting crew was punctual. C.W, Donna and Dana were polite but professional. They explained they would cover furniture with light plastic sheeting and move it out of the immediate work area. Heavy drop cloths were taped down on the floor. Cracks and drywall imperfections were filled, smoothed and sanded. Once the trio started painting , they stopped to ask if my wife and I were happy with the color and look of the new paint. They painted our entry hall, dining room, family room and kitchen. When they were done they cleaned and swept up. Apparently this crew has worked together for many years . They have high standards, their attention to details is impressive and their finished product is first rate. I was impressed. I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation."

"Jaren has been the absolute BEST! We had a real mess of a yard. Overgrown invasive honey suckle, uneven slope, fence falling down. Day one, they had all of the overgrown parts cleared and they kept natives that I asked for. Jaren spent several days designing and redesigning our fence to not only make sure it was what we wanted, but also that it was within our budget and up to all of the standards for the city. When work started on the fence it was completed in about 3 days. The result is absolutely more than I could have hoped for. The opening in the fence for my trees, and my gorgeous gates, are my favorite parts. Thank you to this awesome team, I love my back yard now!"

"We hired them to refurbish our old deck. They replaced five of the rotting joists and all of the decking, steps, and top rail with treated wood. Fast, reliable, quality craftsmanship, and good value. Can’t recommend them enough. Thanks Bernardo and your team for the expert service."

"Great experience! Showed up on time, worked hard, well organized, friendly, accommodating, and no surprises on the fee. The emptied out my entire garage(complete mess without any available space), built three heavy duty racks, and then returned everything in an organized fashion. It's like a whole new garage. It sounds like a simple job but it definitely was not."

"Donald and his crew did an excellent job replacing our wooden residential fence. He handled the demo, the clean up, and the build in just a couple of days (they even worked in the freezing cold!) His communication was excellent and when he and his crew finished the job, they left no mess behind. I definitely recommend this crew!"

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
