🚪 Is your gate too narrow, sagging, or dragging every time you use it?

Denny and Bobbi called because their existing gate simply wasn’t wide enough for easy access. After removing the old gate, I installed a new post to create a generous 5’6” opening.

But a wide gate needs more than just extra space—it needs to be built properly. Otherwise, it can sag, drag, twist, and become frustrating to use.

To make sure this gate was built to last:

✅ The frame was assembled with strong lap joints
✅ Exterior wood glue and screws were used for added strength
✅ A diagonal brace was installed to transfer the weight back to the post
✅ A second brace was added for increased rigidity and stability
✅ Pickets were secured with galvanized ring-shank nails to the frame and braces, helping prevent twisting and sagging

The result is a solid, well-built gate designed to open smoothly, stay square, and stand up to years of use.

If your gate is too narrow, dragging, or starting to sag, give HandySmith a call. Let’s build a solution that works—and lasts.

🐾 Need to keep your dog safely contained without closing in your whole yard?

Stephanie wanted a solution that offered security without installing a full privacy fence—something open, welcoming, and still semi-private.

Together, we came up with a simple porch railing extension that tied directly into the adjacent fence, creating a clean and functional boundary. A custom gate completed the project, making it easy to access the area while keeping things secure.

And there was an unexpected bonus: the gate also helps keep unwanted solicitors from making it all the way to the front door. That wasn’t part of the original plan, but it’s certainly a welcome perk!

Looking for a custom solution that improves safety, privacy, and functionality around your home?

Give HandySmith a call. Let’s build something that works for you.

👀 What do you do with a long, plain hallway that feels like it’s missing something?

Dave and Michelle had an idea: break up the space with a chair rail and picture frame molding to add some character and give the hallway a more finished, custom look.

I loved the concept—and had just the tools to bring it to life. 🔨

With a compound miter saw, a couple of nail guns, and a little CA glue, the trim went up cleanly and efficiently. The result? A hallway that went from plain and overlooked to detailed and intentional.

I didn’t stick around for the painting, but that final step was the finishing touch that really brought the whole transformation together. 🎨

Thinking about adding some millwork, trim, or a fresh coat of paint to transform a space in your home?

Give HandySmith a call. Let’s turn that “something’s missing” space into something you’ll love.

🚨 Sometimes, the simplest projects make the biggest difference! 🚨

Joan gave me a ring because she needed a little extra stability and safety on the side of her house.

A couple of 2x6s, a router, a sander, and a handful of screws later… she had a solid new handrail! 🔨

Nothing fancy. No overcomplicating it.

Just simple, clean, and functional — exactly what a good handrail should be.

Got a small project around the house that needs some attention? Give HandySmith a call. We’re happy to lend a hand! 💪

Julie recently called about replacing her mailbox post. The original had served her well for many years, but time had taken its toll—rot had set in and it was starting to lean noticeably.

A new cedar post was installed using lap joints that were both glued and screwed for added strength, then set firmly in place with a fresh bag of fast-setting concrete. The result is a sturdy, clean installation built to stand the test of time.

This new post is set up to last just as long as the original—if not longer.

Dawn’s back deck had definitely seen better days. The boards were weathered, splitting, and a few had even come loose over time. She reached out to HandySmith to see if it could be replaced with something newer and maintenance-free.

The solution was a full rebuild featuring a new pressure-treated substructure topped with Trex composite decking. The result is a deck that’s not only safer and sturdier, but also built to last for years with minimal upkeep.

Enjoy your new deck, Dawn!

Louie and Michelle love their front porch so much that they decided to extend it by about five feet with new concrete, creating even more usable space. The only issue was the original railing, which now sat awkwardly in the middle of the expanded porch and no longer made sense in its original location.

To bring everything back together, the railing was reworked and relocated to the new outer edge of the porch. A few new posts, some carefully matched spindles, and two coats of paint later, the entire space feels cohesive and refreshed.

The result is a porch that not only looks better, but functions the way it was intended after the expansion. If you have a railing project on your porch, give us a call to see how HandySmith can help.

Steve and Denise had their basement finished, but access to the water main had to remain. Unfortunately, the original contractor left behind a makeshift cover that was difficult to remove and already falling apart. They needed something far more functional—something that would allow quick access in the event of a leak, without sacrificing appearance.

The solution was simple and effective: a clean frame around the opening, a piece of MDF, and a pair of hidden hinges. The result is a solid, easy-to-operate access panel that blends right into the wall once painted.

Now it’s functional, discreet, and built to last. If you’re looking for creative solutions to everyday problems, give HandySmith a call.

Stairs in disrepair? Call HandySmith and we’ll be there.

This staircase had been in service for over 50 years and had clearly reached the end of its lifespan. The joints were separating, the fasteners had failed, and the whole structure had become unsafe. While it had served the home well for decades, it was time for a secure new set of stairs along with a new handrail.

With a stack of lumber and a full day of help from my intern, the old stairs were removed and replaced with a completely new set. New stringers, along with glued-and-screwed risers and treads, created a solid, long-lasting build.

The finished staircase is now sturdy, safe, and built to last for decades to come. If your stairs are in disrepair, give HandySmith a call.

When Krista mentioned she needed a Swedish climbing wall built, I’ll admit I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. What I didn’t anticipate was that it would turn into a six-hour project!

That time included fabricating several missing pieces that weren’t included in the box, which added an extra layer of challenge to the build. None the less, it turned into a rewarding project.

In the end, the result came out great—and Krista’s kids could hardly wait for me to finish before they were ready to start climbing.
