"Aaron is skilled, reliable and honest. He repaired the sagging soffits around my large ranch style home to get me ready for winter. He has wonderful attention to detail. Repaired everything he came across with the best hardware. Also, he is a very nice guy. I will be using him for all my future projects and recommending him to all my friends!"

"Lrec did a fantastic job making some updates to my home. Ryan was very responsive and had quick solutions to roadblocks that were unexpected. He was very thorough, left the job site clean and ensured the work was completed to my satisfaction at a price point that is fair. I would recommend Lrec for any home projects."

"Integrety decking is a great company. Tony Braker was our sales person and was super helpful in our color decisions. Tyler, Drew, Dacota, the crew that built our new deck were amazing. They were very professional and courteous and they did outstanding work. The Duxback rain shedding product is awesome."

"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 questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

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. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.
