"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."

"The project went very well. Joe was able to start and finish work on time. His staff is reliable and trustworthy. John is an excellent painter. We have used Joe for various remodeling projects since 2013. We were pleased with his work and have used him for 6 more remodel projects on investment properties as well as our private residence. Other projects have included painting, plumbing, electrical, excavating, basement remodeling including installation of a bathroom, installation of an egress window and deck build.

"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.

"We hired Outdoor Design Build in June this past summer (2024) to completely remodel our backyard as we had a 20+ year old deck that was writing. David helped us design, build and complete what is now our backyard oasis that we love. David was attentive, timely, and responded to our needs as well as made great recommendations based on his years of experience. His crew was so awesome as well. I recommend if affordable for your backyard oasis project."

"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!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
