"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."

"I hired for electrical, masonry, gutters, waterproofing, grouting, painting, spackling, Roofing, plumbing. Every single job was done to 100% perfection. They are meticulous and very clean. They leave and clean up perfectly. That best attribute is the knowledge and thought into planning and completing a project. They carefully assess and even provide before and after photos. They also know when a project is outside the scope of their expertise, they will refer you to a more specialized firm."

"We had a great experience. His price was reasonable. He responded to all messages. Was easy to schedule a visit to house to look at room we wanted painted. He promptly gave us an estimate and scheduled the job within 2 weeks. His work was fantastic. The room looks great. It was two colors with a chair rail separating. He was neat and cleaned up everything. He was polite and professional. Would definitely use again and recommend him to others."

Customers say: Quick response

"I rarely write reviews, but I had to take a moment to share just how incredible Dino was. He was truly extraordinary from start to finish, and I genuinely felt lucky to have found someone this talented, reliable, and kind. From the moment he arrived, it was clear I was dealing with a true professional. He was punctual, friendly, and came fully prepared with all the tools he might need for the job. What impressed me most wasn’t just his skills (which was top-tier), but his attitude. He was respectful of my space, super easy to communicate with, and genuinely enthusiastic about the work. His attention to detail was impeccable. I had just moved in and had a long list of tasks—mounting TVs, hanging shelves and curtain rods, assembling furniture—and Dino tackled every single one with skill, speed, and a can-do attitude. Nothing phased him. He was incredibly precise when it came to mounting the TVs, especially taking care to position them at the perfect eye level for comfort. He explained what he was doing throughout and offered thoughtful suggestions where it made sense. He really understood what I needed and delivered it perfectly. My home looks and functions so much better now, thanks to Dino’s incredible work. If you're on the fence about hiring a handyman who’s reliable, skilled, and takes pride in delivering top-notch results, look no further. Dino is the real deal. I’ll definitely be calling him again soon—and I’ve already recommended him to my brother and sister-in-law."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.
