"This company has cleaned & treated my deck for many years. They remind me when it’s time to schedule, arrive on time, treat my property & neighbors with respect, and do a very nice job. When I’ve had complaints, they’ve addressed & corrected them promptly. My advice—schedule early in the season as they get very busy. Happy to recommend them."

"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."

"I have two wood decks and a bridge all over 20 years old the have turned dark with mold and grime. Jared and his crew first cleaned the wood using a chemical wash (safe for plants) and after dry applied by hand (brushed not. sprayed) a coat of stain/seal. They sealed not only the deck but also hand rails, balusters and frame. They moved deck furniture and grills. They advertise deck "Restoration" and deliver! Their price was competitive and the workers courteous. Yes, I will hire them again."

"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."

"Smiley's Painting did a great job from start to finish. The owner of the company showed up promptly each day and cleaned up after himself. I was very impressed with his work and would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants quality work at a fair price."

"C.J came out to our home to inspect the work only a few days after I contacted them I was impressed with his knowledge of what had to be done. l When I mentioned that there was dampness in the basement need where the porch was overhead, he immediately said he would add flashing to fix the problem. I was impressed that he was not a sub-contractor as the service I had been using. I could be assured of quality work each time they came to my house. I liked how clean and organized his Mr. Handyman truck was, and the quality of his tools. Here, I thought, is a real professional who takes pride in his work. The entire structure was well made. I was especially concerned that the step railing was sturdy and made to last .He even brought his own generator to power his tools, since there was no easy access to an outside outlet, and I needed to leave for a while.

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

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.

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
