"Moses was great! He exceeded my expectations in staining and sealing my deck. Shows up when he says he will. He offered to do additional touch ups at not additional charge. It's great to have someone with that kind of work ethic. I highly recommend MJ Remodeling and Carpentry. He also knows a lot of other highly qualified handyman if you have something around the house that needs a qualified handyman. His prices are very reasonable."

"This is my first experience with this company. Excellent work! I will call upon them again. Joe replaced my rotten front door frame, sealed and painted it. My front door was a real eyesore before and now it is beautiful!"

"This company was so fast to get me a quote. Communicated throughout the entire process but most of all did a GREAT job. They came back a second time to repair the fence doors as well. I wish I had contracted them initially to install the fence around my property! Thank you to the team!"

"Southern Bell was great to work with! They helped us plan and replace our old deck with a new covered and screened in deck. We liked working with them so much that we also hired them to replace our roof and exteriors doors. They were efficient and used high quality materials. Our contractor and/or the owner came to inspect the project multiple times during the process and make sure we were happy with everything. Our new deck is perfect and we love spending time outside now. Thank you!"

"Allen is a quality home repair/renovation professional. He handled multiple home repairs for me in a single contract. The work involve repair of water damage around a chiminey leak, including demolition of damaged ceiling, plaster work, repair replacement of hole in ceiling, and repainting repaired areas to match. He also repaired/replaced a broken window, and patched holes in plaster walls related to plumbing repairs. Finally, he replaced external siding on my formers that had been left exposed by a previous contractor. Allen brought the projects in on time and within the budget he submitted for the project. The quality of his work was excellent and his prices were reasonable. I am lining him up for my next projects. You should too."

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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.

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
