"Because it involved the stairs going in and out of our house there was a safety issue. The project was finished within a week of my call which I greatly appreciated. I was informed of termites by the handyman who did the work. This was the root of the problem. He purchased "greenwood" which termites don't like."

"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!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
