"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!"
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.
If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
