"Fabulous! Bedrooms got new paint and light fixtures. One bedroom, loft and hallway got new carpet. One bedroom has a stunning wallpaper feature wall which Jeff framed beautifully as it is a work of art. The loft also has a feature wallpaper wall. Jeff even modified a bookcase so it would fit perfectly between a window and the loft rail. In the en-suite bathroom he created a huge walk-in shower with gorgeous tile work (see the picture). Both bathrooms got tile floors and new plumbing and light fixtures. I am thoroughly delighted with this Reno."

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

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

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.
