"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

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
