"I needed a wheelchair ramp built in a very short period of time. I signed up with home advisor and I got 3 hits. I sent a request to all three but they were the highest rated and the first and only ones to respond. Nancy talked to me that night and the ramp was installed 2 days later. Excellent customer service and Excellent craftsmanship. Thank you Nancy and Rodger for the pleasant experience. We will get back to you on the carport."

"These guys were excellent. We had some siding that had broken off the house, probably due to a squirrel. They were able to complete the work the same day, the quote was very reasonable, perfect color match and the results were great. We'll be calling them again for more projects."

"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."

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. 

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
