"David and his team did a wonderful job building my deck and pergola as well as replacing a step on my front porch and adding railings. Their work is wonderful and they completed the work when they said they would. I highly recommend them and I will be hiring them again to seal the deck."

"I got 2 quotes thru "Angi" to have a 12 X 25 foot porch with ramp made. The quote from Handyman419,LLC was less expensive, but that alone was not the deciding factor. The owner, Mark Clark was reassuring with his calm confidence, experience and knowledge base-I appreciated these things as I have never hired anyone to build anything for me. Mark has a small but skilled crew who are very conscientious and respectful of the owners wishes and concerns. Brian, Jonah, Michelle and Mark were all pleasant people to be around and experienced at what they do-which was building a safe and well constructed porch. They are very conscious of details and precise. I am very happy with my beautiful porch! I love the composite decking material which was a perfect match to my house, it has such a nice finished look and is safe for my husband to walk on. I highly recommend working with Handyman419 LLC,they are good people who take care of their customers and do skilled work at a reasonable price."

"I used their landscaping and their handyman services.I am very pleased with both and continue using them year over year. I use them to trim my bushes, spring and fall cleanups and plant ornamental plants when required and to do the edging and mulch replacement. Their attention to detail is excellent and their prices are very affordable. For home repairs I used them for a soffit replacement, installation of a garden light pole, replacement of damaged siding and gutter repairs, all done above professional level. All in all I no longer use anyone else."

"I had Cozzys power wash my business building and they did such a phenomenal job, I had him do my home, and my mom’s home! I have referred Cozzys to many friends and family, and will continue to do so. They do an excellent job, communicate, well, are extremely conscientious, friendly, honest and hard-working! I highly recommend Cozzys!"

"They were very polite, kept us informed every step of the way, did everything just the way they said they would. This was a garage job and it looks beautiful now - the cabinets are gorgeous and everything is neat and has it's own place. I was even able to bring some things out of our upstairs storage and store it in the cabinets."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.
