Structural Repair
Is the home, garage or barn sagging? For buildings that have suffered damage due to water, moisture, insects, or other pests, I have fixed those as well and made them better than new.

Decks
We can build them with the traditional Pressure treated wood or the materials which carry a lifetime guaranty such as, Azek or CertainTeed.  We also do a host of repairs on existing decks such as: Board replacement, Reinforcements to decks that are a little tired and need some TLC.

Additions
Let’s discuss your needs. Masterpiece will probably ask some tough questions, unlike other in our industry.

Doors
Do you need new doors or maybe the existing ones just need that little attention. We can do that! Automatic Door Closures installed for home or commercial. We’ll examine the doors and recommend what to do based on your needs and their over all condition.  Window and door replacements, hydraulic door closures, Residential Commercial, balancer replacement.  We deal with the best, and make sure your money is spent well that will give you the best options.

We consider things like:

  • Are the doors energy efficient?
  • Are they closing properly and sealing out drafts.
  • Are the Sills sound or rotted?  Is the metal intact or damaged by years of salt and weather?

Windows
New or replacement windows are another considerations for beautifying your home. If existing windows or need a fix, we often repair rotted sashes or mullions and even replace balancers (used in older windows to lift the sashes). If its time to totally replace those old windows you can take advantage of energy credits from New York state! You’ll save on your monthly energy usage!

YES, We do all that!

We do new installations and repair work.

Power Washing
We also do power washing to clean the home and concrete walkways to brighten the home for your own enjoyment or to prepare it for showing and sale.

Replacement Steps
We can build them new out of pressure treated wood, Azek, or make you precast steps and mount them in place. We often include the railings to meet both beauty and code guidelines, keeping your guests or parents and grand parents safe & sound. By the way, insurance companies are enforcing the need of railings for safety, so beware! Railings should be of a life time material. That can include: Wood, Steel, Stainless Steel, Structural Aluminum (with or without an outer vinyl or plastic material underneath), Even custom welded Steel Rails or Wrought Iron.

We even work with lighted steps, from above or highlight the steps themselves. These can be a styling and attractive addition to your office or home.

Whole Home or Business Renovations, let’s sit down and talk.

Framing and Trim
Door openings for single doors doubles, French, Headers, jack posts, cripples. We can frame a new opening or make a current doorway bigger or smaller to meet your needs.  When performing these services we customarily examine wall reinforcements and check to see if the builder really installed insulation.

In many cases, a metal roof is the best option for a “lifetime installation”. When considering the costs, its less expensive than Asphalt and current technology offers many textures and styles for your consideration. Best of all it will be the last roof you will ever need, and it is more efficient for heating and cooling. You may even qualify for New York State tax credits!

We also power washing for roofs that have mold (often found on the North face) and also some natural chemicals to prevent the mold from coming back. Be advised, these methods only provide a temporary solution until you are ready to replace the roof.  I have the skills and experience to prolong a roof’s life span by treating the more problematic areas for mold and moss build up.
