"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!"

"I initially reached out to the for carpentry work and dry wall but not only did they do the carpentry and dry wall well, they also installed fiber optic skylight for my movie room and did a very nice job with the trim, baseboard and painting. I will definitely recommend them! Thank you Ricardo."

"Mike, takes pride in his work. We hired him to fix some rotted wood around the outside of our garage and porch area as well as up near the chimney, pressure wash and paint the front portion of our home and the repaired areas. He went above and beyond in his services and we are pleased with the results. His prices are very reasonable and he communicated the status of the projects as well as completing them in a timely manner. Would highly recommend his services for repairs around your home!"

"Great company! We had a bathroom remodel done to our master bathroom. Mack and his crew were phenomenal with the remodel. Great quality carpentry work along with great tile work. We converted our garden tub and shower to a walk in shower. They pay great attention to detail also. The price we were quoted was what we paid. Again, great company. We will definitely be using them in the future. Contact them directly +1 (706) 715-0439 - Juri"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
