Customers say: Quality work

"Wilson is a skilled craftsman who has rescued so many of my fine antique pieces over the last 15 years. He is extremely talented and very easy to work with. I have given him broken, stained, desiccated and otherwise damaged wooden items that he has restored to their original beauty. I find his prices quite moderate and his work exceptional."

"He was able to understand the design with no formal plans and only charged us $500 to build and hang the fixture. It looks AMAzing!
Jose has also done a lot of work in our home to include a complete basement remodel, floor removal in two large rooms, rewired all of our plugs and fixtures, complete entry way renovation, ceramic/slate tile in 3 rooms, painted rooms, master bathroom renovation to include a complete gut of our old bathroom and installation of all replacements, and master bedroom renovation. He charged a fair price, met his commitments for timelines/completion, and his team left our home clean every day.
We are currently having plans drawn for our backyard landscaping and plan to use DC Handyman for the build and landscaping projects as well.
We highly recommend services with Jose in his team.

"Great company to work with from start to finish. From meeting Nick we were sold on the company, Ashley and Chase were very helpful and worked with us on many aspects of this build that we weren't knowledgable about. Crew that came out to do the work were respectable and friendly. 7th State will definitely be our choice for other projects around our home."

"An excellent carpentry project that is not in the drop-down categories above. Built a second left-side banister to assist with stair climbing after owner injury. The banister matches the original perfectly and is beyond expectations. 100% recommendation."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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 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. 

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
