"Jeff replaced the peeling painted drywall porch ceiling with cedar planks which he custom stained to match the front door (which he also stained) . The can lights in the ceiling were replaced with closed LED fixtures..no more bug nest worries! I bought lovely new carriage lights but installing them required Jeff to create a mounting area out of cedar which he then framed with moulding and stained to match the door and ceiling. It looks awesome! Can I add a picture? You really need to see this! Every project that Jeff has done for us, big and small, has made our home more beautiful."

Customers say: Quality work

"We very recently used Star City Handyman to install a fence around our back yard. We were extremely satisfied with the entire experience. From the time we called for a quote they were very responsive, up front on their timeline, and very reasonable on the prices. They completed the job with a quick turnaround time and did an excellent job. We are extremely satisfied with our experience, and we will certainly be using Star City Handyman for more of our home projects."

"A&Romero built an arbor and picket fence for me. My experience was was excellent from start to the completed work. I knew I wanted to work with Jefrin from our first meeting. His presentation was professional and respectful. He listened and took time to understand exactly what I wanted and he provided the best estimate. From the time the job was started Jefrin engaged my opinion so that the end product matched my vision perfectly! They were clean and neat and left everything in good order. I will absolutely hire A&Romero for my next project!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
