"“Handyman Connection was a God-send. I needed an AC for my handicapped brother installed. They were so kind and so efficient. It was a breath of fresh air to talk to real people over the phone. Tiffany and Tracy were very customer-friendly and understanding. Marc was an excellent handyman and great with my brother. I highly recommend this company and their services!„"

"Mr. Lowery is top notch. His quotes were on point and fair. He is honest and trust worthy and a very busy gentleman. He explains the job and what needs to be done. He is quick on his feet and has the equipment to resolve a problem(s) as they arise. I will hire him and his team in a heartbeat. He does Great Work!!! The pictures attached is the work he did in my parent’s bathroom shower. He installed two safety rails and a shower niche. The trap doors were added for easy access to the railings and he provided extra support to support the weight of my parents. We are Extremely Pleased with his work. Jimmie F."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.
