"Kurt did an excellent job, saving our windows from needing full replacement. Less experienced carpenters turned down the job as the rot was extensive. Kurt left them looking better than when we purchased the house. He communicated well about the work and always let me know when he'd be arriving. He was also just a really nice person to have around for a long and tedious job -- friendly and pleasant, working hard through a heat wave. I recommend him without hesitation."

"Dave did a fantastic job replacing a handicapped bathroom pole. We were impressed with his work. The pole is more secure than the one before it (which was done by a workers comp company). Plus, he found one that has a handle on it which will make it easier to be able to sit/stand. Dave is pleasant, efficient and very reasonable. Donna F. in Guilford, CT"

"The Masters Home Improvement company has done several jobs on our historic commercial building in downtown Madison. They are easy to reach and they come when they say they'll come. A vintage building has many quirks and sometimes repairs are complicated. They are resourceful problem solvers. Instead of saying that the only way to fix a problem is to buy all new components, they find a way to work with existing components, only buying new parts when necessary. Since they have in-house staff who can handle the work of a variety of trades there are no long waits for, say, an electrician to come. I highly recommend the The Masters Home Improvement company."

Customers say: True professional

"
The work generally came out very high quality. EUTR is meticulous about the work and listened to exactly what we wanted done for each job. The folks doing the work -- including the subs -- were all friendly and conversational. They answered questions and did good work.

There were, however, a few communication problems. Time frames for completion were not well communicated, for example. None of this was the typical horror story about things running month and months and months too long. But the work was not done quickly, and not even in the time frames I expected.

As many have said, of fast, cheap and good, you can only have two. EUtR is a good price and generally does good work. But EUtR is far from fast. More clear communication on timelines -- and updates when they timelines slip -- would be an improvements.

Unfortunately, the work -- which had been done well to that point, even if slowly -- ended on a very sour note. At the very end (i.e the final afternoon of punchlist work), EUTR damaged some of the new tile work, but did not acknowledge this or offer to fix it. Instead, I had to discover it myself and cancel the final check to ensure that EUTR would come back and fix the damage. I acknowledge that I gave EUtR the final check before *everything* was done -- which was my mistake. But the lack of communication on this score was EUtR's.

EUtR was respectful of my home, was rather careful about the mess (taking time every day to meticulously clean up). Friendly, conversational and meticulous about the work. While not perfect, the combination of price and the quality of the work is hard to find. If you can accept the work taking longer, EUtR is a good choice for a contractor."

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. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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. 

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
