"I recently hired Busby Home Services to hang three TVs and run the electrical wires in the walls, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Ryan, the owner and technician, did an excellent job. He was detail-oriented, quick, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Not only was the quality of his work great, but Ryan is also a genuinely nice guy—courteous and respectful. He took the time to ensure everything was perfectly aligned and securely mounted, leaving the space clean and organized afterward. I highly recommend Busby Home Services to anyone in need of TV mounting or electrical work. I will be hiring Ryan again for future projects."

"Sonny did a beautiful job on the build of our new deck! He came to the job prepared and was willing to put in long days to finish the deck in a timely manner. We couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of work he did for us! 10/10"

"We originally had Rick rebuild all new kitchen cabinets along with several other kitchen improvements. He and his work impressed us, and ultimately we brought him back to do windows, garage work, and recently he has completed a "man cave, including bar' in our basement. All this came at a reasonable price! Rick gets our recommendation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
