No project is too small. If you need something fixed, something moved, something installed, to you it isn’t too small of a project. You wouldn’t call a carpenter to fix a loose door hinge, you’d call a HANDYMAN. You wouldn’t call an electrician to install that new ceiling fan, you’d call a HANDYMAN. No matter what your project is, just call us and see how simple things can be.

"Very professional work quiet and clean also painted a built in desk cabinet piece that looks like a new piece I would highly recommend"

"Do not hire. I paid them 4000 to paint the ceilings and 2 walls in my house. The work done was not worth 4000."

We are a family owned and operated company, and we offer exterior and interior painting, with experience dating back to 2018. We specialize mostly with painting jobs, but that's not all. Odd jobs, flooring, and drywall are also in our realm of services we provide. If you need a reference, we have those too! We guarantee quality work, and strive for a satisfied customer.

"We were in a tight timing situation and needed someone as soon as possible for some bathroom work. Reed's Home Improvement came through for us big time! They were prompt, professional, and completed the job quickly without sacrificing quality. The pricing was very reasonable and they were friendly and easy to work with throughout the process. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and reliable service. Will definitely be reaching out again for future projects!"

Repair Carport questions, answered by experts

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

There are a few options if you miss a stud. You can simply patch the hole with spackle, sand it down, repaint it, and then find the stud—essentially starting over. If you don’t want to do that, you can insert one of the more robust drywall anchor options and hang your item on that, but that will only work if the drywall is in excellent condition and the anchor is rated for the weight of the item you’re hanging on it. You may be able to cover the hole with the object itself once it’s mounted, but it’s still recommended to at least fill the hole to protect insulation and prevent vermin from entering.  

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
