"Tom was the perfect man for the job. It required some "thinking outside the box" to build a deck over septic tank covers that would need access to in the future. He had many great suggestions, and worked well with me and my crazy ideas!"

"I needed bookshelves installed, and Travis at Helping Hand did an excellent job securing them. He really listened to my vision and instructions and brought it to life perfectly. Travis was professional, skilled, and clearly very competent in his work. I’ll definitely be using this service again and highly recommend him."

"This company and its people are fantastic! The team of Bill, Jorge, and Marvin that worked on my job were great. They built a fence for me last fall and did everything just the way I wanted. It really exceeded my expectations. I had them come back recently to adjust the latch on my gate and it was done very quickly. Their customer service is top notch too and always a pleasure to speak with. They even put in a special flip up door for my robot lawn mower. Very Happy Customer!"

"Jessie did an excellent and professional job on our bathroom remodel and was very transparent in all that he did, from providing a written estimate, keeping us informed on how things were progressing. Jessie removed tile, replaced tile, totally redid walls so the wallpaper contractor could hang the wallpaper. coordinated with the plumbers so he could do his job. He also tore up the old tile floor, replaced the plywood, laid the underlayment and installed the vinyl panels. Jessie was thorough on cleaning up after each job and hauling the trash away. We will be using JLB Construction again when we have the tiled kitchen floor removed with new flooring put down. I would highly recommend JLB Construction for doing any remodeling. Jessie is honest, forthright, transparent and very professional in all that he does. PS: My husband said, "Thank you for your prompt and beautiful work! I've only seen pictures so far but it looks great.""

"The projects were completed exactly as I wanted. I am in the process of selling my home and needed some items corrected to pass inspection. He got the work done quickly and neatly and now my home can be sold on time. He was very personable and I will be recommending him to my realtor for others to use who have a similar list of multiple handyman projects around the house. I will also recommend him to friends who just need help around their homes. His price was very reasonable."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

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. 

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
