Hello, my name is Tyler! I have been working in residential construction for the last seven years. Primarily in renovations, I have developed many hands on skills and acquired many of the tools it takes for the job. I am very comfortable working inside or out of a house. I would love to take a look at any renovation work you have!

"Searched for handyman service for variety of projects. Found one through Home Advisor/Angi app that serviced the area of the home that needed repairs. Called Dakota who told us she works for Tyler Handyman Service and given her the basics of the scope of repairs need. She provided us her phone number for contact. She was also given a copy in PDF form of the repairs for reference. On 10/14/23, Dakota said she was going to the house about 1-130pm. She was given the lockbox code for access since house is vacant. She texted that she need to get some supplies from Home Depot and then provided a picture of the receipt for reimbursement and provided her Venmo QR code. My boss, Joy, reimbursed Dakota for those expenses. Dakota said she was going back to the house to take care of the few items. She was to do a removal of a heater in the kitchen, but was not done. The homeowner eventually removed it themselves. Locks on the windows were not correctly installed-hence the windows cannot open, and did not do any of the storm windows repair or installed. Dakota said she will need to go back on Monday 10/16/23 at 11am. I sent her a reminder on Sunday night 10/15/23 without a response. I texted and called on Tuesday 10/17/23 and Wednesday 10/18/23 with out a response. Goes to voicemail and then mailbox is full so unable to leave any messages. I have tried calling Tylers Handyman Service and the phone number is no longer in service"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
