"Lois Diaz with GM Handyman did a fantastic job refinishing our front door and the wood framing the side windows. He was careful and thorough and communicated clearly about steps involved in the process. I will hire him again and recommend his services to friends."

"We hired Richard and his crew for a full bathroom remodel and had a great experience from start to finish. Richard was professional, easy to communicate with, and very detail oriented. He took the time to explain the process, timeline, and options so we knew exactly what to expect. The quality of the work really stood out. The custom vanity, tile work, and overall finish turned out better than we had imagined. Everything feels solid and well built, and the space is both more functional and much more modern. He stayed organized, kept the project moving, and was respectful of our home throughout the process. It can be stressful having construction in your house, but he made it as smooth as possible. We’ve already had friends and family comment on how good the bathroom looks, and we would absolutely hire them again for future remodeling projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.
