"Friendly and easy to work with. The project was completed timely even though they had to work outside on some of the hottest days of summer. The final project turned out fabulous. I'd use TK Handyman Service again and recommend TK Handyman Service for your net project."

"Chris was very prompt courteous professional and honest. Kept up great communication during the whole process. Gave an estimated start date when we signed the contract. Ended up starting 3 days early. Finally the honesty. He gave a cash discount. On the final day paid the last of the bill. When he got home messaged me I "overpaid $1000." And made arrangements to return it."

"Nathan, owner of River Bend contracting built a floating deck for me next to my camper at Meridian Bridge RV Resort. I had some specific ideas on the design, which included separate steps and fenced area for my dog. After working with other contractors in the past, communication has become a top priority! Nathan was fantastic! I completely understand construction time lines are estimates and I even contributed to that estimated completion date by adding extras during my deck construction. Every day, Nathan let me know his schedule for the following day. When I left to stay at my permanent home for a couple of days, he sent pictures everyday to show me the progress. I was never left wondering if someone was going to be there working on my deck. The finished deck is outstanding! Nathan is a skilled contractor who completes your project with the same amount of mastery, pride and perfectionism as if he was building it for himself. I highly recommend River Bend Construction for your next home project. If you would like to see their fantastic work, drive by site 615 at Meridian Bridge RV Resort to admire the workmanship exhibited on my new deck!"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Yes, carpenters can fix squeaky floors. They have the expertise to identify the source of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards, subfloor issues, or joist problems. These experts also have the right tools and hands-on knowledge to secure the flooring and eliminate the noise, ensuring a long-lasting solution.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.
