"I used Handyman Connections to replace exterior shutters, recaulk the bathtub and replace the shower door. Shawn was professional and did a great job on everything. I plan on using them again for some other projects that we need to have done around the house."

"I found Tim on HomeAdvisor 2 years ago and have since utilized his services twice; most recently this past month. The quality of his work is exceptional!!!!!!! My house was impaired with some severe wall damage caused by water and cracks caused by faulty lentils. Tim's ability to assess the problem(s) and correctly implement a work plan of the highest quality speaks not only to his skill set but his dedication to doing the work completely and correctly. His cleanup is also excellent and his costs are equitable. Highly recommend Tim for any plaster, drywall repair job no matter how challenging it might be!!!!!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

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.
