"I called Master Builders after hours late one Tuesday evening and promptly received a phone call back the next morning. Larry came out to my house that same morning and met with my husband. He gave me a very reasonable quote compared to what other companies previously had almost to where I was skeptical my husband had left out a few details. I called Larry just to confirm details and he offered to come back by a little later in the afternoon once I had gotten home from work just to go over everything with me. He reassured me of all the details and told me it would be no problem. Larry returned Friday morning and we could not be happier with the job he did. The doors look better than I ever could have imagined. Larry really is a jack of all trades and we are very lucky we chose to use him. He will forever be our go to handyman and just a great guy all the way around. THANK YOU MASTER BUILDERS!!!"

"My deck was transformed in 7 hours. Vax literally built a new deck on the original foundation and it us fabulous. Originally, I just wanted a few planks replaced, power-washed, awater-sealed, and painted. After examining the deck, it was best to replace all planks, reinforce the frame, and install all new wood at a resonable price. It is so beautiful I can hardly believe it!! Look at the before and after pics and see for yourself!!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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. 

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.
