"This handyman team was outstanding! We had an emergency requirement for a bed frame and matress/boxsprings to be assembled & install for use the same day. It was not an easy assemble, but they completed it perfectly! In addition to being knowledgeable & professional, they were very friendly & personable. I will definitely use them again when I have a need!"

"This was my first time looking for a painter for a big project- our entire house. I had no idea how to ensure that I would find someone who was skilled, honest, made good use of materials and time and was easy to work with. I hit the jackpot with hiring Peter. He went above expectations and completed the house quickly and even vacuumed the carpet! Highly recommend him- he is a great guy too."

"The team of brothers came right on time, listened intently during the walk through for design and executed the fence build in a single day. Granted I had already sunk the posts in their locations, but the guys were fast, efficient and built a beautiful fence."

"Needed to repurpose some empty space upstairs by turning the loft into 2 additional bedrooms. Framing was done quickly and professionally and properly tied into the ceiling to maximize structural integrity. Mick did a follow-up job by installing insulation, wiring, walls, closets, doors, texturing and paint. He did it all! The house looks like always has this many rooms!"

"Mount Olive Landscape & Construction exceeded all my expectations with the installation of my new fence! From the initial consultation to the final touches, Novi and his team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. I had a lengthy bidding process, and Mt Olive/Novi were the lowest price and best value for our brand new 450-ft cedar fence. The crew was punctual, respectful, and friendly - I especially loved chatting with the guys doing the actual building who gave me (a newcomer to WA state) local recommendations that I can't wait to try exploring soon! I couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend Mount Olive Landscape & Construction for anyone seeking top-notch fence installation process. Truly a 5-star experience!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
