"Adam is a trustworthy and dedicated professional. He takes great pride in his work and his project management exceeds expectations. I hired him again to build multi projects in our new home in the city. He had done a superb job when I've referred him to other homeowners as well."

"We moved intoa home that needed (still needs) a full renovation. One of the first things we focused on was replacing the original deck. We got a couple quotes & found that we tended to get a different/higher price based on where we lived. My husband & I have renovated over 10 homes in last 5 years so we know prices Anyway, I saw an old post from a neighbor who recommended Better Built Decks out of Dawsonville. Anyway, Father/Son team who did TOP NOTCH work & just super nice guys. They also did some work in our attic and are going to rip off our non-original portico on our home. I highly recommend!"

"Our experience with Home Improvement Masters was outstanding! Mr Craig and his team did an amazing job adding the addition to our home. He was also able to get our entire roof replaced through an insurance claim and we were able to get a brand new roof. We upgraded from a builders grade three tab shingle to a more appealing architectural shingle, as well as replace a few of the gutters. Also the crew did an amazing job with cleaning up the work site after they were finished and left everything immaculate. We highly recommend Home Improvement Masters and would be willing to provide a reference to anyone looking for a reputable contractor. Thank you Mr. Craig!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"I am THRILLED......to meet Allen and crew. Very thorough, neat, picked up all materials. Very professional and explained what they were doing. I told him, will call him again. Husband and I are elderly. We need someone we can depend on. I need 3 more fans installed, that will require them putting a piece of wood in attic - to attach the fans to. Love these newly built homes."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
