"Excellent job! It was clear they are experienced carpenters and painters and take pride in producing quality results. Brothers Carpentry and Paint replaced one exterior door with framing and replaced several interior doors. This included new knobs and for some doors, new hinges. They also painted many of the interior doors. They also made some sheet rock and baseboard repairs for us. Carlos was wonderful to work with, professional and patiently answered any questions I had. Will definitely call them for future projects and would highly recommend them!"

"They did an excellent job. We had a variety of tasks and all were accomplished in one day. Supervisor and estimator Alex was great with communication and scheduling. Alex and Carlos showed up as scheduled at 8 AM ready to work. Alex stayed for a few minutes and then Carlos did the work. Carlos was excellent - very friendly and skilled. He made a few excellent suggestions along the way which we incorporated into the project. Work was finished in one day and cleanup was perfect. I would definitely hire them again."

"Allen is very reliable, responsible and skilled, completing work from carpentry to painting, in my home. He did an amazing job on a multitude of projects - He installed two wood handrails, hand cut pickets, and put in a wood post. In addition to this, he installed a garage hook, stain painted my outdoor deck, resealed the silicone around the glass of the shower, sealed my garage floor, fixed baseboards and shoe molding, installed bathroom hooks, and replaced the chipped tile in my shower. I highly recommend his services and would definitely hire him again. Lastly, Tabatha does a great job of scheduling."

"Fence turned out perfect - everything from start to finish was a smooth process, great price for all the work that was done. We went with New Cedar semi-transparent oil stain and it made our fence look new again. Will be recommending to others. Thank you Cenia."

"It went well. I needed the work done and had alot of trouble finding someone. When I contacted Mr. Handyman of Wester Wake County, the scheduler had someone come out the very next day and the person who came out finished all the work I needed done before he left and cleaned up behind himself."

"Henry and his crew are beyond courteous, professional, and pay precise attention to detail. I originally hired H and M to stain my fence but had another emergency that Henry also ended up taking on. First, the fence stain looks GREAT. The team power washed the fence clean of debris, then returned after it was dry to apply the stain. They used the proper staining technique and paid specific attention to detail. They wrapped all items near the fence that could not be moved to protect it from unwanted stain. The job is VERY clean and neat and the fence looks great! I was offered a variety of stains and Henry helped me with any questions I had. In addition, I also had to have my door replaced. Henry was not originally scheduled to do this but politely agreed when he saw my need. He replaced the entire door and frame, including trim and paint. The paint job was VERY neat and professional and the trim replacement and caulking make it look seamless. I cannot express how grateful I am for their quick reply in my time of need and their keen attention to detail no matter what task they are given. I cannot recommend these guys enough! I have found my go-to contractor. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and overall outgoing personalities set them high above anyone else."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
