I've done handyman work for 10 years. I started doing this work full time at the beginning of 2022. I have experience in building decks, steps and other wood working projects. I am able to do hardwood, and tile flooring. I've done bathroom remodeling and and room remodeling. I can pressure wash houses and driveways. I work with several landlords on maintaining their rental properties. I have a background of 15 plus years in minor electrical. I am self employed and looking to grow my business. I do not do plumbing, roofing, or A/C.

"Building a gazebo for the backyard Chris was on time and efficient. Job was exactly what I needed done. Fair pricing and good quality work. I would recommend him again"

"Rafe Courville built a 22ftx24ft pavilion for us a few months ago. From the concrete floor to the 20ft tall pitched steel roof, it has been just what we wanted. The wooden post, beams, and railing are ideal for our needs. Very satisfied! He also built a 500ft wooden fence for us. We had him back recently to repair a hole in our main building's roof. Also very satisfied. Good price for the both. Rafe will be replacing all the cabinets in our kitchen in the near future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
