Customers say: True professional

"Excellently! Tim arrived the day a placed my job on Angi. He evaluated the job and scheduled for later in the same week. His quote was fair. On the day of the repair Tim arrived shortly after the arranged time and got right to work. The job was completed in approximately 30 minutes or so. The door works great now! Thanks, Tim! I highly recommend Tim’s Handyman Service."

"I had a great experience with Hodgson Homes from start to finish. The installation was done cleanly and efficiently, and the crew was respectful of the space throughout the process. Scott was very professional and communicative. He kept me informed every step of the way and made sure everything was done to my expectations, including adding an additional gate on the side that was not in the original quote and changing hardware as needed. He also helped communicate with some neighbors questioning property lines in a way that helped rather than hindered the process. The final result looks fantastic, and I'm really happy with the quality of the work. My dog is also quite happy with his new play area 😋 Highly recommend!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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.

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 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.
