"As a woman, finding a handyman you can trust is an arduous process. Finding Mike was a dream come true! He was punctual, professional, and detailed in the work he did installing my apartment unit air conditioner, building a bookshelf, and overseeing the construction of an entertainment unit. He was communicative about the process and how long each project would take. He also took detailed measurements and precautions to ensure the property wasn't damaged during any construction or installation. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend his services."

"This job--which I initially thought required complete reupholstery--turned into onsite repairs. Eli at ReUpholstery NYC asked for photos of the chairs, which led him to recognize that one person could rework the opened areas. We agreed on what I believe was a fair price and set a date and time. Eddie came promptly with the necessary tools and completed everything in about 2 hours time. I was very pleased with the entire experience, from beginning to end, and would highly recommend this company. THANKS!"

"Mack Rubio and his team are awesome. My front porch was beginning to sag on one corner and it was causing my vinyl siding to bow out. My home also needed to be pressure washed. Mack is very knowledgeable and he got his level out and showed me that the left side of my porch was two inches lower than the right side. I knew my left column was rotting but I was not sure about the wooden supports I could not see beneath the decking boards. Mack assessed the situation and advised pouring concrete footers and replacing only the columns and supports that needed to be replaced on the porch. His quote was very reasonable and I didn't hesitate to give Handymack Services the work. Mack and his team were on time, got right to work, and I was truly amazed at all that got accomplished while I was at work. When I got home, Mack took the time to explain what remained to be done and his schedule for finishing the project. Mack's work is quality and he stated more than once that he wanted to make sure I was happy. Honestly, I am way beyond happy because I have never contracted with anyone who has been as thorough, nor who worked as quickly as Mack. My porch looks great, my siding is no longer bowed out, and the pressure washing made my twelve year old siding look new. I was so impressed I immediately hired him to repair a door frame, stain my back deck, and replace warped deck boards. I will definitely be giving Handymack Services my business in the future because they value me as a customer and I value their honesty, promptness, and attention to detail."

"ABDUL WAS VERY RESPONSIVE TO OUR EVERY REQUEST. THIS COMPANY WAS ABLE TO BUILD OUR DECK OVER A CONCRETE PATIO EVEN THOUGH OTHER CONTRACTORS EITHER SAID IT COULD NOT BE DONE OR THEY WOULD HAVE TO BUILD A 3 OR 4 INCH STEP TO GO OVER THE CONCRETE. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
