Thanks for checking out my profile! I’m someone who enjoys helping people tackle the projects they don’t have time for. I offer cleaning, furniture assembly, moving assistance, organizing, and general handyman services. While I’m growing my business, my goal is simple: show up on time, work hard, communicate clearly, and leave every customer happy with the results. No job is too small, and I treat every home with care and respect.

"Ric Thompson did an excellent job with replacing my worn & sagging porch floor with a beautiful new composite decking floor. He took care of everything, from coordinating the delivery of the materials to making sure the old materials were hauled away in a dumpster. I was amazed at how well he was able to level out the porch floor, as my house is over 100 years old and had settled quite a bit over the years. He also repaired & painted 3 window frames that were in a serious state of deterioration, all for a very reasonable rate. Ric is a Gem! He is very easy to talk to & explains the work process in very understandable terms. I highly recommend him and I will continue to use his services for repairs I may need on my house."

Chris and his team are exceptional to work with and I felt they take a lot of pride in what they do.  The quality of workmanship and dedication to their craft is second to none.  What Chris quoted me is exactly what it cost at the end. I had several jobs that they performed on my historical 3 story home from roofing, carpentry, to putting caps on the chimneys.  I recommend this team to anyone that needs and wants work done without the worries.

"I found them on Angie’s List. He showed me pictures of everything and what he took out. He showed me the work and it wasn’t like made up or anything. He took pictures before and after on the roof of the part that was rotten and after he redid it. I was happy with him. I looked afterwards and there was no complaint. They did it in a timely manner, like they said they would. There were rain delays and it wasn’t their problem. They never tried to change the price on me. They cleaned up like nails and stuff in the driveway. I checked the driveway and there weren’t any nails or anything. They did a pretty good job. They did fine and it was a good job. I did have other estimates and they were okay. They called and asked if anything was wrong, and it has been a year. They got delayed and the work got a little hurried but it was damp and they couldn’t get to it. They did everything they were going to do. They didn’t try to cover and not replace certain things to make more profit, and I see all new gutters and everything."

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

"Amanda and Homemade design are a fantastic option if you are looking to hire an interior designer for help with a specific room, but have a tight budget. You do have to be willing to work with her online and via telephone, which was no problem for me. Amanda recommended the furniture company for my custom couches, and they are fantastic. I can't to get the custom pillows soon. Only downside is that depending on what you purchase, there is a wait time for items to get to your home, but that is the case with anything that is custom made. I would definitely continue to use them in the future.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
