"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
