"Recently had Quality Carpentry and Remodeling LLC build/replace the stairs on my deck, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Tom was professional, communicative, and provided a clear, fair quote. He showed up exactly when he said he would and completed the project on time. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the stairs are incredibly sturdy, perfectly level, and look fantastic. He even made sure to clean up the work area completely before leaving. I highly recommend Quality Carpentry and Remodeling LLC to anyone needing quality deck work!"

"Our pro, Fred, worked around the inclement weather to tear down an old deck and build a beautiful, structurally sound replacement. He provided great customer service along with an extensive knowledge of deck building. He also went above and beyond in communicating the steps of the process and listened closely for feedback. My family and I look forward to using his services for future home improvements."

"Our old deck steps collapsed and new ones needed to be rebuilt. When we engaged BAC, Ryan approached it in a straight to the point/no nonsense manner. He devised a thoughtful solution designed for the long term, His execution was direct, efficient, and under budget. The problem is solved and we recommend BAC for future projects"

"Tim did an excellent job. House looks so much better without awnings and the new siding that was added in place of awnings looks really good. The new siding really cleaned up the front of the house. I'm really happy with Tim's work."

"Very well! So much of the wood on our porch needed to be replaced and he was very helpful in knowing and getting what we needed to finish the project. He kept us informed on the progress and asked our opinion on how we wanted things to look. All the work was done in a few days and it all turned out looking great!"

"Matt is fantastic! I hired him to do some carpentry work. I know nothing about such things, and he made sure to explain everything—what he recommended, different things he could do, why he was doing certain things—and he included me in every step of the process. In addition, he is very responsive and communicates really well and PROMPTLY! He takes his work seriously, and it shows. I’ll definitely be hiring him again, and I highly recommend him!"

"Jake's carpentry expertly replaced a porch railing that had rotted. He made sure that he found the exact wooden rail cap to match the rest of the woodwork, and priced it fairly. He finished the job in under 90 minutes. It was a pleasure to chat with him while he worked. He'll be returning to paint it, and I will gladly turn to him for any carpentry work in the future."

"Excellent. I called 6 places and only Mr Handyman would help. The office staff was so helpful and worked to get us help. The repairman that came out was very professional and knowledgeable. As importantly he was very considerate of my elderly father. Wonderful service."

"Mostly swapping out electrical outlets.  However, additional tasks included switching out drain pipes under a sink and building a railing for an exterior staircase.  We had a long list.  It went very well.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

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 possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
