"I was very pleased with the carpentry work Kurt did in the wood siding of my house. He replaced a whole section of cedar siding and replace various rotting siding. He installed a frieze board and fixed some rotten siding on a dormer along with other various siding and window trims work The quality of work was excellent and very professional Good quality craftmanship and high work ethics coupled with good communication and very friendly. He provides good advise on what to do and always putting the customer first. He is one of the best carpentry contractor and I definitely recommend him and will call him again for all my future carpentry siding work."

"knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He explained clearly what he was planning to do and fixed a window quickly and well. He also removed an old pipe-frame for a swing, again, quickly and well, making sure no sharp metal points were left in the ground. He did two thorough and honest jobs and I recommend him highly."

"George listens to the customer, makes suggestions if necessary and proceeds with a contract. Said contract has a price range that he never exceeded depending on whether or not unforeseen issues occur. George renovated two bathrooms, installed laminate flooring on my bathrooms and master bedroom. He is efficient, neat and never leaves a project unless it is perfect. George will be called upon for all my future projects."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
