"I was buying a new house, the home inspector had some questions about the attic joists and suggested I have a professional take a look at them. I needed it done quickly and I called three contractors. Matt from MMP was the only one that called me back the same day and agreed to come look at them the next day. He showed up on time, suggested a remedy and gave me an estimate. After buying the house I had him complete the work. It was done as promised in a very tight and dirty attic space, they cleaned up before leaving. I also chose Matt to replace my roof after getting three estimates. The crew did the complete job, chimney flashing, ice and water shield, small roof repair and venting channels in the attic. Clean up was great, no mess left in the yard. He was not the lowest estimate but all the work was done without any additional charges. I was very pleased with the results."

"I had a similar experience to others who have reviewed Ayotte Home Improvements. I hired them for a complete kitchen and mudroom remodel. Bob and his sidekick are the two main characters and they have a group of very competent sub contractors that they bring in depending on your project requirements. From the initial meeting to completion, Bob was very easy to work with. He is fully engaged during the process, keeps you informed, keeps the project moving, and insists on high quality. In my opinion you can't go wrong with them."

"Torin is an incredibly professional contractor. He built custom shelving for my living room, as well as a custom bench. Both came out better than I could have imagined. He asked great questions and really was able to make my vision come to life. I was impressed by his efficiency in finishing these projects while still giving the attention to detail that really wowed me. He will be my go-to for all future contracting needs. He is very reasonably priced, works efficiently and doesnt take forever to finish a job, and does exceptional work."

"Corey and his team did an excellent job. We had some other work done by another contractor but Corey’s work on the deck really made a big difference and put an exclamation point on the remodeling work. He has great design ideas, is fairly priced and gets the work done on time."

"We had the pleasure of working with D. A. Kinsella Company to develop concept designs for a new home addition. Their architectural team was quick, professional, and came up with many detailed ideas to help ensure that we were happy with the design. David successfully coordinated with the city to determine project requirements early in the design phase, which was very helpful and saved us valuable time and effort. We highly recommend David to any homeowner considering a home redesign or new addition...!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.
