"The owner Steve is great! I am battling a mice problem and wanted to stop them from entering my home through various holes/gaps on the exterior. Due to the urgent nature of the situation, Steve was able to fit me into his busy schedule and sent handyman Joe within 2 days after I first reached out to his company. Joe was excellent, really a knowledgable guy with tremendous enthusiasm. He jumped on board immediately and got right to work filling in all the holes around the house and even located gaps on the facade and located a possible rodent nest my exterminator and I had not noticed before. The custom frame he built to cover the basement window vent is functional and also looks great! This was a major site identified by my exterminator where mice were entering, and I feel confident that now the area is secure. The entire job was completed in 3 hours with a side trip to Home Depot to gather materials. Even though tackling a mice infestation is not what this company usually does, they were able to accommodate me and exceeded my expectations! I will definitely hire them again and already am compiling a list of tasks around my house."

"I called and they responded immediately.. Came out to house and gave a reasonable estimate for job.. I hired them and they had the job done in two days, workers were nice and friendly. They matched my siding and you can not even tell where the new siding was installed. Very happy with the job they did, decided to get to do my gutters also, and get a estimate for them to paint and seal my new deck. Patricia P"

"Hector and Moises were excellent! Hector came with one other of their crew and assembled my permanent gazebo. I have stone pavers and they were very careful in cutting them and digging Deep enough to establish a good anchor. They even installed railings for my back stoop. I would highly recommend them! Clean... affordable and professional."

"We found Paul and Gene at Tanem construction through Homeadvisor 4 years ago and have had a project with them every year since. From finishing our basement during Covid, adding a full bathroom wet bar and laundry room, to restoring and building our front stoop to adding heated floor and a 2nd floor full bathroom restoration, to even the smallest of jobs in roof repairs and ceiling leaks. Tanem construction does it ALL. A pleasure to work with. A local family run business that will sure to fulfill all your construction needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.

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.
