"Fantastic work. Good communication throughout the project. One small hitch in installing, hit rock and couldn't set the ties in all the way. What I liked best was the fact I was contacted and provided with a solution. One that they would have done for their family, that right there spoke volumes. No doubt that my next project will start with KW Handyman and Home Repair Services."

"Robert and his crew were fabulous. They operated professionally and with integrity. They started work each morning around 8:00 am sharp. My husband and I are very please with our Bathroom Remodel. I also had other small jobs done while they were there. They did not complain but were willing to accommodate me and my ideas. I will be hiring them again for our future Home Renovation Projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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, 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.
