"I cannot sing the praises of Jose and his team enough. I purchased a new home that had carpeting everywhere and hired J & J Elite Carpentry Inc to replace with wood floors. They did an AMAZING job as you can see from the pictures. J&J even took care of replacing a few closet doors. Jose and his team are very friendly, knowledgable, patient, responsive, on time and professional. They communicate and are transparent with you every step of the way and get the job done with such great detail and care. They also specialize in other areas so I plan to hire them for other home repair needs."

"I love dealing with owner operated businesses such as this one. My next door neighbors used this company last year to paint the outside of their home. We were impressed with the professionalism, quality and price point of their job, and so we called. Mauricio and his brother both responded punctually to my inquiry. Mauricio came by within 2 days, gave an estimate, brought a crew a few days later and completed the job. They worked quickly, neatly and most importantly did a fantastic reasonably job. Our home is a 1925 cedar shake Dutch Colonial. They scraped, primed and painted. Portions of the roof were tarped and no paint splattered anywhere on the roof surfaces. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs their services, which also include carpentry, patios, interior as well as exterior painting."

"As it happens, Wilber's Painting has skilled carpenters on staff who are competent, experienced, and committed to old world craftsmanship. Our good fortune was getting Maynor, a highly talented carpenter, who constructed and installed the door, which is quite attractive. The installation was tricky because the 90 year-old frame was not perfectly squared but he managed to get the right fit. Mahogany was used for the door frame and safety glass for the insert. I opted not to have a screen insert, so the glass is a permanent fixture."

"I hired this company to replace my roof dumpster was delivered one day before they started the job. Very hard-working guys, they remove all shingles on a 20 square roof within 2h. unfortunately the plywood was bad and need it to be replaced these guys did something that no company would do it they removed all plywood did framing repair installed 5/8 plywood and charged me only for the cost of plywood. I give them 5 stars for the job that they did and i will never deal with any other company besides HomeMaster."

"Just bought a house, and I needed some carpentry and handyman work before we moved in. Ron Potesky, the owner, is extremely friendly and helpful. He was able to accommodate me and schedule me on the date that worked for me. John Witkowski was the handyman Ron sent over. John arrived on time and went right to work after we discussed the times. John is also extremely friendly and very knowledgable. He did all the jobs requested in a very reasonable amount of time. As someone who is not very handy, I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Handyman and John."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.

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.

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.
