"Received their recommendation through Angie’s list. After contacting them they responded quickly and came out to see what the job entailed and received a free estimate quickly. They communicated very well to guide us successfully through the process of repairing our large deck.They were on time, very conscientious, and professional. We will definitely call upon them for other future jobs that need to be done. Thank you for all your efficient and hard work!"

I am someone who is trying to start a business. I’ve been in and around the construction industry for 20+ years, mainly doing commercial residential construction. I want to build something of my own where I feel my work can be noticed. I travel anywhere within the greater Rochester region. I look forward to meeting with you. Thank you

I provide reliable, affordable handyman services for homeowners who need help with repairs, maintenance, and improvement projects around the house and yard. I have experience with drywall repair, yard work, brush and debris cleanup, chainsaw work, furniture assembly, blind installation, and a wide variety of general household repairs.\n\nI take pride in being able to diagnose and fix problems rather than simply replace items whenever possible. From repairing lawnmowers and small engines to working on boats, household fixtures, and outdoor equipment, I enjoy finding practical solutions that save my customers time and money.\n\nWhether you need help tackling a to-do list, fixing something that's broken, cleaning up your property, or completing a small project you've been putting off, I'm committed to quality workmanship, honest communication, and dependable service. No job is too small, and customer satisfaction is always my priority.\n

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
