"Fantastic! Honestly, I was skeptical using Angi to find Handyman services, sounded too good to be true. I took the leap of faith and have not regretted my choice. For perspective, I’m older-and live alone, having been in a 32 year marriage where my husband took care of the “Handyman” tasks, combined with my current mobility issues I was at a disadvantage and lacking the ability to complete the “Handyman” projects that Kyle took care of. Kyle is the type of person who goes above and beyond, he approaches each task as if he were completing it for his own home or for a family or friend. Kyle has been responsive, does quality work for reasonable and affordable pricing. He is thoughtful, personable, knowledgeable, experienced, trustworthy and authentic. I’ve referred Easy Living Properties to many others. I trust Kyle to always do the right thing in my best interest not his and have not been disappointed. I asked Kyle to stop by my next door neighbors home to see her garage landing in order to build a similar one for me. They got to chatting and he noticed that her outdoor deck was very unsafe and pulling away from her home, she wasn’t aware of this at all! Kyle quickly went to his vehicle to get what he needed to make the deck more secure temporarily. He came back and did what needed to be done to make it safe. His charge for this service was beyond reasonable. My neighbor was so impressed she shared his contact info with all of her older friends. Can’t say enough great things about Kyle and Easy Living Properties! Highly, Highly recommend! In fact he is providing me quotes on several other projects, one being creating an indoor cat play space. He is enthusiastic about new projects and puts a great deal of thought, time and energy into making his customer happy! Thank you Kyle, you have greatly improved my quality of life!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.
