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.

"Ron Laster and his crew are first rate! He is polite, thorough and very professional. They did an excellent job on the vinyl siding. My building looks fantastic. I could not be more pleased. I will be hiring them for more jobs around the house. Painters Unlimited is a company in which one can have complete confidence."

"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

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.
