"I was looking for a handyman who could fix my shower door where all that was needed was the pivoting hardware. After being told by another guy who had looked at it and told me I would just have to replace it and the labor was going to be around $850 and I would have to buy the door for another $250. Kris listened and understood. He used what hardware that was there and he had it back up and working in just a few minutes! If you’re looking for a true handyman, look no further. I look forward to using him in the future to do other repairs. He’s also a very nice fellow."

"Thomas showed up each day exactly on time. He was courteous and answered all of my questions. Tom took time explaining the damage that would need repairing and how he thought it should be done. His work is meticulous and his attention to detail refreshing. I'll upload pictures once the deck staining is complete, but I am very happy with the work."

"Rich did a welding job for me on a metal chair. He was easy to talk to at the beginning and end of the job. While he had my chair, there was a delay in getting it done due to him not having the right tool with him. Once I told him that I was disappointed by the delay, he said that he misunderstood the time frame and then worked to make it right. So just make sure to be clear on the time expectation and you should be fine. Good handiwork!"

"Mr. King was highly professional and courteous. He presented a detailed estimate and stuck to it. He kept me updated on the progress of the project. He was flexible and agreed to a change in the project after it was started. His workmanship was excellent. I only know a little about carpentry, but I could tell that his work was very good. I highly recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.
