"The entire job went great! It's so nice to have a company that we can turn to, to get quality work done around our house. This is the second time my husband and I have had Doug and his team in our house to get work done and they do not disappoint! I will continue to choose them for work we need to have fine and highly recommend this company. They do a wonderful work."

"This is the second time we have used My Handyman of Ann Arbor for home projects and couldn't be happier with the results. Kirk installed 3 new lights in our kitchen, he was professional and finished in just a few hours. Great job and we will be hiring My Handyman of Ann Arbor again for sure!"

"Their painter, Mark, quoted the job and did all the work. He is a hard worker, is very knowledgeable, is a good communicator, and was a pleasure to have working in our house. The quality was excellent and was finished right on schedule. Mark even went above and beyond what we expected in a few areas. We were very pleased with the whole experience."

"Gary couldn't get right out to scope out the job (ceiling damage from a leak connected to the stink pipe installation) but always communicated. Found him to be open and honest, wanted a job to be well done and to my own satisfaction and was more than reasonable. Now it's done and he was so easy to work with. Based on my initial experience we are already discussing another smallish project and I hope to be able to every once in a while invest in my home through the services that Gary offers."

"He was great! Joe repaired three windows. One of which was on the second story. He removed and rebuilt one window including the entire frame and reinstalled it. He replaced the facia board on my porch. He is very thorough in his work and very accomplished. I would highly recommend him!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
