"RnR Handyman quickly responded with an estimate which was in line with our expectations. Robert worked daily on the projects until they were completed with the exception of Sunday off. He added gutters, rescreened and painted porch supports, cleaned and stained the deck plus misc. handyman jobs. He is a pleasure to work with, comes to our home ready to work and is well organized. Rene', the office manager, quickly responds to calls, texts and emails. She is knowledgeable and very polite."

"My wife had the glorious idea of building a field stone patio and to install trex on our deck. Job was done and exceeded my expectations! Wonderful field stone laid, grout, and to the precise dimensions we specified. The trex was installed and was a color match to our specifications and no screw holes! I highly recommend!!!"

"I have to say that Boyce and his crew were amazing from the very beginning until the finish. All the other contractors I had come out asked me what I wanted to do and Boyce assessed the situation with my deck and told me what we needed to do. I had two other contractors from angis list out and neither even considered these things that needed to be addressed. Once we discussed all estimates and contractors Boyce and Gault services was the one to go with. Now that the project is complete we couldn’t be more satisfied with the work they did. I can honestly tell you that not one contractor would have done remotely close To what they did. It is an amazing job and we are extremely happy!"

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"Ryan at Salty Hammer did fantastic work replacing my outdoor steps and portion of the porch. He showed incredible attention to detail and made sure the alignment was absolutely perfect. He also cleaned our skylights and replaced a porch screen, all with great care. Ryan arrived as scheduled and worked hard all day. I most highly recommend Ryan at Salty Hammer."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
