"Miguel and his team did an outstanding job restaining our deck and building a raised planter bed into the deck for growing vegetables. Both look amazing and his prices were very reasonable. He is also a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a master carpenter."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work on our decks! We hired David to sand and stain two decks, and the results completely exceeded our expectations. Both decks needed a lot of attention, and he took the time to properly prep and sand everything before staining. The finished decks look absolutely beautiful — clean, smooth, even, and completely refreshed. Great attention to detail and professionalism. He was meticulous, reliable, hardworking, and clearly takes pride in doing the job the right way rather than rushing through it. He kept the work areas neat and made sure everything looked great when the project was finished. It’s not always easy to find someone who is dependable and delivers high-quality workmanship, but he absolutely did. Our decks look better than we expected, and the transformation is incredible. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy handyman and will definitely be calling him again for future projects."

"Tassio is one of the very best, if not THE BEST worker that I have hired during the 43 years that I have owned my home. He is honest, smart, punctual and reliable. He reviewed everything with me as he did it and explained carefully why everything that needed to be done needed doing. He replaced multiple sheets of the cedar siding on my house and uncovered many areas which the original builders did not do properly. He needed to repair some underlying plywood in addition to replacing the cedar. He was meticulous in his work. He used flashing tape and Tyvek paper over the plywood and used galvanized nails and screws. He also painted some indoor walls that had been damaged by previous water leaks. His workers did an excellent job. They were efficient and neat. They did not splatter paint where it was not supposed to be. He also pointed out other issues with my house that were not part of this repair and which I will deal with separately. I would hire him again in a minute."

"Mike pays special attention to details. Cleaned up everything at the end of each day. Did a great job not only on painting a bedroom and two hallways but did an excellent job in patching a couple of dents in the sheet rock and replacing a bedroom door frame."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
