"I recently bought a house and was not impressed with the previous owners' paint choices. I called up Master Painters and within 24 hours I had a quote. Within 48 hours, they had started work. I was on a tight timeline because my movers were scheduled for Wednesday. Master Painters started work Monday morning and had painted the entire three story house by Tuesday afternoon. I cannot overstate how impressed I am with the crew's skill and speed. The house feels brand new and I am so pleased that I decided to splurge on getting the whole place done. I will never call anyone else for any future jobs. Worth every penny and then some!"

"We hired Mr. Luper to construct a deck in front of our shed. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. Mr. Luper was great to work with and provided us with updates as needed. The deck was completed in the time frame as promised. The cost of the project was very reasonable. We will call him again for other projects!"

"The owner was very prompt and responsive when I called. The job and follow-up were very good and the workers even did a couple of things that were not in the original contract. Have received several complements on the deck appearance since the restoration. I would definitely recommend them.Susan"

Customers say: Quality work

"Miguel came to replace an exterior door that had rot on the bottom. He replaced the entire door and frame with a new door within a couple hours. He made sure I was completely satisfied, even checked for leaks. He did such a great job that I called him back to help with my kitchen door. Price was fair, he was quick and efficient."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
