"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."

"I needed landscaping done around my house before my barbeque. Connection 123 services came within hours. Their prices were affordable and the landscapers were polite and friendly. They even power washed my house and removed all the algae. I'm very pleased with the beautiful work that was done. Will refer to my friends and family."

"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

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
