"It was wonderful to work with tony. He had great ideas. He also helped me make the entire deck better, sturdier, safer and more aesthetically pleasing. Very easy to talk to and on top of his projects. The only reason for a 4.0 for value was not even tony s Fault. rather it s the fact that I wasn t extremely ready for that much of a higher premium for trex decking. I didn t feel forced to make this decision. I was presented with good options. I hope to not ever need to repair my deck but should I ever have a deck to build in the future in another home, I know who to call!"

"Kyle of Ace Handyman Services was awesome! He was thorough, easy to communicate with, discussed the best options to utilize our time and how best to complete the project of rehanging our front door and realigning our new locks, strike plate & repairing the frame. The work is exactly what I wanted. Highly Recommend Kyle & Ace."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
