"I hired Jim Meinen and his team to remove a jacuzzi and put in a walk in shower in the master bathroom as well as a kitchen remodel. Jim is a man of his word and he finished the job in a timely manner, he is a master builder and is 2 steps ahead of any issues that might arise. He and his team are respectful, friendly and leave a spotlessly clean work area and most importantly, know what they are doing. I have been recommending them to all my friends and family and should I need more work done I would not go to any other contractor."

"I needed to replace an outside bunker door that accesses the basement of a summer home. I tried to find a local handyman through the internet and Home Depot with little success. I then tried Angie’s List and Juan the Handyman was first to respond. Overall, Juan did an excellent job in quickly visiting the job site, estimating the work, suggesting alternate solutions and quoting a reasonable price. After accepting the proposal Juan began work immediately. He sent pictures to me during the work to keep me informed. The completed job was better than expected and I am extremely satisfied with the work and Juan. I would highly recommend Juan to anyone looking for a good handyman."

"They were very thorough. They protected my home with plastic and filtration and went above and beyond removing the asbestos tiles. The tile and mastic are completely gone and the floor underneath is smooth. I never would have been able to do that on my own! They even moved the hot water heater to get tiles from underneath which I did not expect. 10/10 would recommend!!!"

"These guys were great! I hired them to install a laminate floor & baseboards in my lower level & they completed it quickly & professionally! I then used them to install a vanity/sink & toilet. Although the my bathroom was not plumbed for this, they were knowledgeable enough to get it done! I will continue to use them for all my handyman needs. Just a couple of nice guys with great talent!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
