Painting, wallpapering, carpentry, tiling, drywall, plus outdoor tasks such as tree cutting, setting a stone walkway, and patching worn areas of the foundation. Carlos does high-quality work quickly and for reasonable prices."

"These men are excellent. They are polite, they show up when scheduled, they do a fabulous job on our lawn. We hope to keep them busy for the long term. A breath of fresh air compared to the lax attitude of other landscaping companies we have hired in the past. Definitely a keeper!"

"I am a rental property owner and live out of state and only had pictures of over grown trees and shrubs. Nathan was willing to work with me as I changed my mind about the scope of the job. He was always on site when he said he would be and did an excellent job trimming some shrubs and tree limbs. He sent pictures of the work that he did. My tenant was also pleased with the job. Nathan seems to be a very honest man and I recommend using him for yard work or whatever else you need help with."

"Im very impressed with them and have already hired them for a second job and will definitely be working with them more. He came out and did a full walk-through of my house where I showed him each of the projects I need to get done, spent lots of time looking at everything and getting an idea of exactly what I wanted done. I got the best quote from these guys for a roof by longshot, and the roof is perfect. He communicates every step of the way, gets in there and gets the work done efficiently and does not leave you hanging about whats going on and when. Above and beyond all the other handymen Ive had out since I bought the house! Im having them do everything from here forward."

"Working with James was a wonderful experience from the first phone call to the finished product! Any worries I originally had about starting my custom cabinets project went away when James brought his professionalism and expertise. His knowledge and craftsmanship was one of a kind and he was able to offer ideas and suggestions along the way that would best achieve my goal. His communication was very consistent as he kept me updated on the work with pictures, phone calls, etc. I would absolutely say that the quality work and skill he provides is worth every dollar."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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.
