Projects come in all sizes, from tacking down loose trim to replacing rotted T1-11 siding. The type of repair and the size of the structure affect the time it will take for a Jacksonville carpenter to complete your project. Contact us to discuss the details of your project. Once we know the scope, we can provide a reasonable timeframe estimate.

In the carpentry trade, professionals will generally choose to focus on either rough carpentry or finish carpentry. A rough carpenter is responsible for handling the timber components of a construction project, which includes work such as framing walls before finishes such as drywall and siding are added. It's obviously very important that rough carpentry is done to an exacting standard because it contributes heavily to the overall safety, stability and longevity of a building, but rough carpentry is typically not visible once construction is complete so it doesn't contribute to the building's aesthetic appeal.

A finish carpenter, on the other hand, is responsible for components that "finish" a building. Finish carpentry can be functional or strictly for appearances, but it generally goes a long way toward enhancing the aesthetic of a building's interior and exterior. Finish carpentry components can include window and door casings, banisters, railings, mantels, cabinetry, wood paneling and much more. If you're looking for a Jacksonville carpenter to take care of repairs and maintenance for the wooden finishing components on your property, or you're considering a brand-new carpentry installation, the best finish carpenters in Jacksonville, FL are at Mr. Handyman.

Yes—though that depends largely on the nature of the work you have in mind. If we're talking about a couple of shorter tasks, such as installing a baseboard and nailing down a couple of loose boards on your deck, it's entirely possible that your local Jacksonville carpenter can get both tasks done in one appointment. If it's a more time-consuming, elaborate project such as installing custom cabinetry throughout your kitchen, it's likely we'll need multiple appointments to get that one project finished correctly so it meets or even exceeds your standards for quality, durability and appeal. When you call our knowledgeable customer service staff and let them know what you're planning, they can give you a rough estimate of how long the work is likely to take.

Typically, wood siding can last between 20 and 60 years, depending on the quality and type of material used. Other things, like weather, the presence of gutters, and how your siding was maintained, can also impact the lifespan of your siding. The professionals at Mr. Handyman serving Greater Jacksonville can help repair or maintain your siding so it lasts a long time.

In a word, YES! The purpose of gutters is to get rainwater off the roof, to the ground, and away from the home. Without gutters, more water is hitting the outside of your home. It gets hit once on the way down and again when it splashes up. Wood siding and trim, doors, decks and other exterior wood surfaces will last longer on a home with gutters.

For the deck surface, you have a variety of choices. Pressure-treated lumber is cost-effective and readily available but requires periodic cleaning and sealing to last. Many use a stain and seal product to keep the deck looking nice. Composite decking comes in many colors and textures. While it costs a bit more up-front, it does not require regular cleaning and sealing to help it last. The pros at Mr. Handyman can install any deck surface you want.

Whether you're dreaming of floor-to-ceiling wood-paneled walls or you just need someone to get your wooden deck back in excellent condition so you can enjoy outdoor relaxation and entertaining, you can rely on your local, skilled Jacksonville carpenter at Mr. Handyman serving Greater Jacksonville.
