"My deck was resurfaced because the first time it was done 4 years ago when it was enlarged they put new boards over the old deck without removing the original surface boards causing the new boards to rot now every thing was demoed and the old deck sections were revealed so the deck would be the same night And it came out beautiful I'm very happy the work that was done and will definitely call them when ready for my next project"

"We used Jersey Shore Handy Heroes for a complete interior home rejuvenation and the results are spectacular. Don’t let the “handyman” designation fool you. Michael did everything from repairing and painting our walls, ceilings and trim to repairing our custom bookcase woodworking. His work was meticulous! We were stuck on colors for paint and trim, but Michael is a true design expert, helping with selection of paint colors, carpet, furniture, light fixtures and accessories, all within our budget. He also handled our electrical, plumbing and mechanical needs. We highly recommend Michael at Jersey Shore Handy Heroes."

"Robert was willing to work around my crazy schedule. I had several random things that I needed done around the house (blinds hung, bathroom vanity light replaced, ceiling fan repaired, the lock on the patio door repaired, the privacy fence gate repaired, and light bulbs replaced on another ceiling fan that was mounted too high for me to reach). He explained what he was doing as he worked, worked efficiently and quickly, and his rates were beyond fair. I will be using his services again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.
