"Handy Master truly lived up to his business name. He took our ideas for a new deck & stairs and made some technical suggestions then created a product even better than we had envisioned. He is a true craftsman at his trade and I highly recommend him."

"We would like to recommend Jerry Hovels to you as our first choice to remodel our kitchen. He transformed our 50s kitchen into a beautiful well designed updated working space. Je is a very talented craftsman in custom building cabinets to fit into the space given. Each door has a beautiful wood stain and precisely fits together as a whole unit. He also designed therequired plumbing, dry wall, electrical, and installed a new floor to match our dining room floor. He referred us to a counter top business and went with us to pick it out and helped install it. Jerry communicated with us on preferences on even the small details, such as choice of door hardware. We are pleased with his schedule, professional work, creativity. Jerry's careful detailed preparation and custom built cabinets added practical space in our kitchen. Relocating the stove, microwave, China hutch added convenience and storage space. He accommodated our travel and personal schedule."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
