"Vinnie did a great job of prepping and re-staining my deck. He even advised me about another repair needed on the patio below. Vinnie has performed work at my place before, and he is always helpful, thorough, and professional. Over several years, I have had several jobs done by Mr. Handyman personnel. I have always been happy with their work. I have also found the office personnel - Michelle, Jeannie, and Kay - to be very helpful."

"The handyman did an incredible job restoring my 50-year-old shed. It looks so good that it appears as if the entire structure was torn down and completely rebuilt. I am extremely impressed with the quality of their work!"

"Rigas is a true pro! No BS. The guy is punctual, professional, and more than fair. His work was done at my shop a few years ago and is holding up very well! He also used a non toxic finish which I greatly appreciated. Don?t hesitate to reach out to Rigas for a variety of carpentry needs and anything else in the construction realm. If you need it done I?m confident he can do it!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick on a project to build a wall for a recessed fireplace, soundbar, and TV, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Nick was professional, attentive, and dedicated to bringing my vision to life perfectly. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. What stood out to me the most was how Nick made sure we were involved and happy every step of the way. He listened to our ideas, provided valuable input, and ensured that every detail was executed to perfection. It's clear that he takes great pride in his work and genuinely cares about his clients' satisfaction. I highly recommend Nick for any home improvement projects. His skill, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence are truly impressive. Thank you, Nick, for transforming our space and making our vision a reality!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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. 

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
