"I had an excellent experience with Neighborhood Handyman and couldn’t be more satisfied with the service. Jared mounted three televisions for me (75”, 58”, and 42”), and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. He was extremely professional, precise with his measurements, and worked efficiently without sacrificing quality. Everything was installed perfectly and looks amazing. On top of that, he was friendly, respectful, and made the whole experience stress-free. His pricing was very reasonable for the level of work and care he provided. It’s not easy to find someone who is both skilled and trustworthy, but Jared absolutely delivered on both. I highly recommend Neighborhood Handyman to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service. I will definitely be using him again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Dunnâ s for it done!! Friendly, fast work, made adjustments to make it more cat proof for me, cleaned up after themselves, and super easy to work with. I get very anxious when strangers are at my home, but he and his crew were professional and I was comfortable having them work for me. Thanks!!"

"Overall very good experience. Quality work at a fair price. Good communication on progress of the project. Just a couple of small issues for follow-up that were completed in a timely fashion. I would recommend 3D to others."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
