Carpentry, Framing & Drywall in Broward County

Every remodel stands on work you never see once it's finished: the framing that shapes a room, the structure a wall or opening is built on, and the drywall that turns it into a clean, finished surface. J&R Handy Work LLC does the carpentry, framing and drywall behind a remodel — moving and building walls, framing new openings, and hanging and finishing drywall so the room is straight, solid and ready for paint and finishes.

This is the structural craft under everything else — get the framing wrong and no finish sits right on top of it. It's carpentry, and it's what Johnny Regalado has built a 20-plus-year reputation on, from framing and rough carpentry to custom pieces like the curved-wood archway in the photos of our own work. We come look at the project in person and give you a free estimate before any framing goes up.

The structure behind every remodel, done right

Framing is where a remodel takes its shape: laying out and building walls, framing new door and window openings, and reworking structure when a floor plan opens up. It has to be square, plumb and solid, because everything after it — drywall, tile, cabinets, trim — is only as straight and sound as the framing under it. This is the rough carpentry that the finished room quietly depends on, and getting it right is the difference between a remodel that lines up and one that fights you at every finish.

Once framing is set, drywall goes up: hung tight, taped, and finished smooth so walls and ceilings are ready for paint. And beyond the rough work, there's the custom carpentry — built-ins, trim, and one-off pieces like a curved wood archway, the kind of work that shows what two decades of carpentry can do. Whether it's the structure inside a full remodel or a standalone framing, drywall or carpentry job, it's built right and left clean.

Common questions

Do you do framing and drywall as part of a bigger remodel?

Yes — most of it happens inside a full remodel, where the framing and drywall are the structure the finishes go on. Because one crew carries the whole job, the framing lines up with the tile and cabinets that come after it instead of being someone else's problem.

Can you build custom carpentry, not just framing?

Yes. Beyond framing and drywall we build custom pieces — built-ins, trim, and one-off work like the curved wood archway in the photos of our own work. Custom carpentry is where over 20 years of experience really shows in the finished detail.

Can you move a wall to open up a room?

Often, yes — opening up a floor plan is common in a remodel, and it comes down to framing the new structure so the opening is sound. We'll look at the wall and the layout in person and tell you honestly what's involved before anything comes down.
