"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."

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the excellent work you recently completed at my home. The new deck installation looks fantastic, and the quality of the boards/craftsmanship really stand out. It’s clear that great attention to detail was executed, and the final result exceeded my expectations. I also appreciate the thorough pressure washing done on the front of the house. It made a big difference, and really refreshed the exterior look of my home. Throughout the process, your team was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Everything was completed on time and with care. I’m extremely satisfied with the work and would be happy to recommend your services to others. Thanks again!"

"I have been so impressed with this company’s work ethic, commitment to the customer and overall performance. I just can’t say enough good things. Our kitchen had water damage and has to be replaced. Although the project is not completed yet. I have faith that it is going to be the best it could be. De Wayne Lambert is a one of a kind contractor and will be doing more work for us after this project. He is fair, kind and considerate of the custome’s situation and tries very hard to keep their lives as normal as possible while they do the project. I feel blessed that we have him to do projects at our house. Pam and Winston Boggs"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
