"I worked with Curtis to get the project going- it involved staining a wood fireplace mantel in our home. Unfortunately we had a chance of heart about staining it and did not proceed with the project. However, I really appreciated Curtis's upfront cost breakdown, etc. He gave me a detailed price and explained how the quote was developed. He was also extremely professional when we decided not to proceed."

"TX Thunderbolt Fences did an amazing job on our fence, we also had them install a carport. Very high quality craftsmanship and they started the job and completed in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Carlos to build your fence or carport."

"I have a small house and decided to convert a room for much needed storage. Marcelino worked with me to include every detail I wanted such as space for larger framed items, shelf partitions for the smaller framed items with open space across the top of the 3 units for longer items such as a 10-pack of fluorescent lights. The units are floor to ceiling and integrated into the base and ceiling trim. The materials and workmanship are excellent and the pricing is very reasonable. I will be adding a smaller 2-unit in my office later this year. Marcelino and Laura are a joy to work with, and I highly recommend them."

"I scheduled the crew from Handyjoe to assemble a 3 seat patio swing. There were a lot of parts for this. The crew arrived on time and went right to work. They had a backpack with all the tools needed for this type of project. They stayed with the job until the swing was completely assembled and located on the patio where we wanted it. The crew was courteous and the price was reasonable for this type of project. I was very pleased with the outcome."

"I actually mixed up my contractors and replied to Vern by mistake, thinking he was someone else. Turns out it was a lucky mistake. Not only did he take on the job another contractor bailed on (assembling a bookcase), but he also wall-mounted a TV, fixed my driveway gate, and reinforced a wobbly railing on my front steps so it’s now completely solid and steady. All of that — and at really fair prices. I’m already making a new list of projects around the house because I’m genuinely happy to have found someone reliable, skilled, and reasonably priced. It’s such a relief to finally have a handyman I can trust."

"He diagnosed the problem almost immediately, and repaired it in a way that you didn’t know if anything was done. Matched the brick/stonework, shingles, paint, etc. Terrific job!"

Carpentry FAQs, 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. 

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
