"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

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
