"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!"

"Outstanding workmanship and quality of work. They have literally restored my 26 y/o deck to like new condition. They arrive on time and do their work quietly and efficiently. They go above and beyond in their workmanship. The estimate was nearly on the mark for repairs. As a veteran, I really appreciate their discount of 10%, it is a step beyond "Thank You For Your Service.""

"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."

"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."

"Mike and his crew were always on time every morning and often worked past quitting time to get the job done in under estimated time over the course of 4 days (job estimated to take 5 full days). Job was booked for 2 coats of paint on the walls and Mike and his team did a 3rd coat on areas that they thought needed a 3rd coat and on areas where I wanted it added as well (all at NO additional charge). Mike and his team take great pride in their work and I would HIGHLY recommend them for any job. I already have a few other things they will be returning to help me with in the fall/winter."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
