"I pay $350 for the year and covers fall and spring. I like the people I've had. They are very knowledgeable. The repair on my air conditioner they pointed out that there was no warranty this year of some sort with the manufacturer and gave me information on how to file a claim as part of our class action lawsuit. I appreciated they went above and beyond with that."

"Great! We generated online quotes through Angie's List to 4 contractors on 6/11/18. Only 1 emailed us with a quote (which was too high). We figured it was a dead end, got distracted with other things & forgot about it. Then a few weeks later we got a call out of the blue from Hector. He apologized for the delayed response as he said he had been very busy. It was a great call out of the blue. He said he could come out immediately & came out the next day as promised. We discussed the price once he saw my house & gutter system. He cleaned the outside of 4 skylights while he was up there. Hector worked very hard, cleaned up all the debris & left the outside of the grounds in great shape. Hector is very polite & a hard worker! I think you will be very happy if you give Hector a call."

"My wife and i hired them to fix our iron fence, when looking up we had no clue where to start. A friend of ours recommended Authentic welding. They showed up on time for our appointment and provided details of what needed to be done and how long it would take. Job was completed to our satifaction. Would definitely hire again if i have more projects."

"This is the second time we have hired Junior and he continues to impress us. He is super responsive and works harder than any contractor we have hired. He has high standards and ensures that work is completed with a great attention to detail. He is so trustworthy and honest; we left him with keys to our home. He goes above and beyond and is an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish!"

"He is thorough, and very detail conscience.  His work and pricing is straight forward.  He separates the cost of Labor vs Parts and Supply.  This means you can see there are no hidden markups in the total estimate.  This is the most tricky part of most estimates, and why Hammer Handyman sometimes 'seems' more expensive.  I have been low-balled by many contractors, and then suddenly towards the end of the project there is some cost over-runs that were never estimated or Parts and Supply from companies I have never heard of that all of a sudden I need to install or the project will not finish.  I never feel that I am being fleeced with Don."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.
