"Deck Renewal Systems delivered a beautiful, quality deck for our home! We are pleased with the outcome. The team was responsive, helped us to select a great material, was able to leverage existing framing (saved us money) and ensured the new deck was reinforced with updated support posts. They even flexed to accommodate our last minute decision to add a patio with another vendor so that the deck and patio worked together. The team was hard working and a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend if you're looking to add a beautiful deck to your home!"

"Very satisfied. The crew arrived on time, and went "straight at it." Very friendly. Answered questions. The siding and deck cleanings were well done. All the algae removed. It all looks great. Thanks!"

"They pressure washed the entire house. Itâ s a one and a half story Tudor with stucco and wood on the second floor. They did a very thorough prep job, scraping all loose paint then going over everything with a side grinder to completely smooth everything. The paint color that we chose first was not quite right. Kyle was very understanding and is absolutely great to work with. We got the colors right and they did a fantastic job. They used Sherwin Williams paint. We were under the gun with a pending fine from the City building department and the approaching cold weather. They jumped right on it and quickly completed a perfect job. The building department appreciated the prompt completion and quality of the job. They cancelled the fine and promptly closed the case. Kyle is fantastic to work with. I highly recommend them for your next painting job."

"Prince Roofing is one of the ?best contractors? I?ve hired. I needed several exterior repairs done on my house. Mr. Prince assessed my concerns, gave reasonably priced estimates, and the project was completed on time as quoted."

"They had to tear down existing deck and replace with composite decking. Finished product looks great. They also did some landscaping around the pool which also looks great. I would definitely recommend Brock Marshall and crew and will be using them again."

Customers say: Super punctual

"The man who performed the work was great! On time. Professional. Good job. He measured everything from floors to walls for estimates for laminate and paint. Again, he was great!!. I didn’t hear back. He messaged after I texted and said they couldn’t get to me until the following month. But I still didn’t get the estimate. The first time I ever hired a handyman. So just an ok experience."

"Fantastic! I had probably called about 15 people trying to have someone come out and put a brace in my cabinetry to support a stone countertop I was having installed. Nobody would help me! I called Mr Handyman and could not have been happier with my experience. The customer service was second to none and they had me scheduled within the week. George was professional, tidy, quick, and personable. The pricing was more than reasonable and the work was top notch. Thank you, George! I will be a loyal customer for life!"

"Greg contacted me almost immediately after I received the referral from Angie's List.  He agreed to come by my house and perform the work I requested and was very polite, well organized and efficient.  His work was excellent and he stayed in touch with me until everything was completed so that I was aware of his plans.  I would certainly contract with him again and/or recommend him to anyone in need of a painter/handyman.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
