"John Waldner owns JW Construction and was hired by me to put an addition on my house that included a new kitchen and main floor bathroom. John and his sons Michael and Alex are now more like family than business acquaintances. They were easy to work with and always took the time to listen to me and were willing to make changes when necessary. I am more than satisfied with the completed job."

"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."

Customers say: True professional

"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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"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."

"I had a great experience with Jordan. He Was polite and very timely. His bid was spot on and the cost was exactly what he said it was going to be. He had several different recommendations to make the project even better when it came to insulation. I would definitely use Jordan again And refer him to other people I know."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
