"If I could give John Kelch more than five stars, I absolutely would. He is one of the best handymen I’ve ever hired.John installed a new bathroom vanity and a cabinet above the toilet in my daughter’s home, and his workmanship was exceptional from start to finish. He carefully unpacked and assembled everything, completed all of the plumbing, installed both pieces flawlessly, and even corrected an existing plumbing issue along the way. Both installations were in a very small bathroom with extremely tight working spaces, but John handled every detail with incredible care and precision. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and problem-solving skills are second to none. What impressed me just as much was his professionalism. He’s honest, trustworthy, efficient, and takes tremendous pride in his work. He cleaned up afterwards and treated our home with respect. Finding this level of meticulous, integrity and is rare anymore. I highly recommend John and won’t hesitate to hire again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.
