"Steve and Justin were very professional and did quality work. They had a challenge, since the one area was on a slope along the side of the church building that needed repaired. They had to build a support plank to do the work. A few days earlier they needed a bucket lift to do another area. They removed all debris and did an excellent job, overall. Would highly recommend."

"Spensir and his team of contractors did a kitchen remodel for us this fall. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and exactly what we wanted. His team, composed of painters, plumbers, electricians and countertop men were all exceptional! They were always on time as expected or I was notified early with a schedule change. They were professional and courteous in our home. I highly recommend them for your project"

"We hired Hillside to build a deck but we're having solar panels installed and asked them to look at the roof, which we knew needed some work based on the home inspection we'd had done at purchase earlier this year. As soon as they got up there, it was clear the roof was in much worse condition than we realized -- and they offered to completely strip it, add new wood all over, and re-shingle it, along with re-shingling the garage roof. They had a crew here first thing the next morning and the whole thing was completed by three in the afternoon. Amazingly fast and efficient. The new roof looks great, and the price was very reasonable. A few years ago, we'd had a similar job done on our old house and it cost three times as much and took over a week to complete (same size roof), so we'd definitely recommend Hillside for this kind of work!"

"Fence repair is still in limbo pending fencing parts ordered but pending delivery yet. Chuck did an Awesome job on my back deck repair and looks GREAT! He removed all the broken posts and panels in order to clear out my and my neighbors job...Very impressed with his work so far and keeps in touch with any details so as a Customer not in the Dark. RCL is a down to earth business that gets the job done and Fair prices that are written down on an invoice NOT texted via email or thru chit chat...I give 5 star's to Chuck and RCL Handyman Services in my book. You won't be disappointed!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
