"As a single mother the thought of hiring a contractor to help with my home improvement needs was intimidating to say the least. For the past 2 years my daughter and I had lived without a working hvac system. I contacted multiple hvac contractors who came and quoted a replacement unit that was way beyond my budget. I was given Robby’s contact information from a mutual friend. I contacted Robby and asked him if he could come out and give me a 2nd opinion on an hvac replacement. The day was scheduled and as promised Robby was there to take a look. After careful inspection of the hvac unit Robby determined that it did in fact need to be replaced. he assured me that he would not rest until we could come to a price to fit within my budgets ($4,500) which came as a huge surprise seeing how all other estimates were between $7,500-$8,500. As promised Robby came through and supplied a reconditioned air handler for $2,000 which we installed immediately. Throughout the winter my daughter and I have enjoyed for the 1st time in 2 years a working furnace in our home. To further assist we are waiting til spring to install the new a coil and condensing unit which will cost an additional $2,500. This has come as an answer to prayer seeing how I was able to get through the winter with a wonderful working furnace for only $2,000 and the remaining balance will be paid this spring for the new ac unit. I highly recommend Ace Handyman & Sons and have no doubt that they will go above and beyond to meet the needs of their clients."

write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

"They've done good work. The quality is really good. Once they started the work it was done quickly, about two days. Rock solid and perfect clean up. Good technicians. They know exactly what they are doing. They give you a discount if you put a sign in your yard, the contract is put a sign up for a week a few times a year. They seemed to forgot to come get the sign a few times.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
