"They were always on time and communicative. The job went exactly according to schedule, and the jobsite (my home) was always kept neat and clean. Our home has some tricky turns and curves and bull-nosed corners, and they handled them beautifully. High quality work, fair price. We could not be happier."

"Handyman Dave did a superb job! No more wobbly "fun house" stairs. No more inoperable chicken coop doors. No more airborne predator threat to the chicken run. Conscientious, ingenious, and hard-working. We'll definitely use him on our next projects!"

Small jobs welcome

"I used this firm a few months ago, and found the job lacking. Following my review, I was contacted and asked if they could come and re-work the project. Gilbert returned and worked a half-day smoothing out the rough areas from the first time. He also took care of some paint damage and holes that happened after his first time, so that was certainly above and beyond. He was friendly and pleasant, and gave no feeling of irritation for having to return to work again. As before, he was great to work with, and the garage now meets our expectation. We appreciate the no-hassle return trip. There were no costs this time."

"Joseph and team did a great job on re-building my deck, the work quality was excellent. Fantastic job on both the carpentry and the tile work on the out door kitchen/grill. The price was reasonable, great communication and a genuinely good group of people to work with. I would definitely hire them for other remodeling jobs and recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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.

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.
