Craftsmanship is a way of life.

The Master Carpenter is in the business of bringing top notch craftsmanship, and the best of materials, to your home. Our Autumn 2011 Edition tells the story of four people who trusted us to bring our professionalism to their remodel and repair projects.

We’d like the opportunity to work for you. Call 720-351-2249 and let’s meet.

Steve’s patio had separated from the house, leaving a gap. He wanted to prevent water from seeping down the foundation… We agreed on flashing the wood trim which abutted the concrete to assure that water would be directed onto the slab and away from the foundation. The first layer of flashing overlapped the slab Another layer of flashing laps over the first layer and covers the endangered wood trim... We have many repair services. Click here.

Francis owned a blanket chest which had great sentimental value, but the base and legs were damaged. She asked if I could restore it…   
We decided just to repair the base and legs, but also to “spruce the chest up a bit.” I replaced all the damaged wood and stained the new knotty pine to match the chest. Then I applied some varnish of the same gloss level.  A little light staining where needed and a rub-down with furniture polish gave the whole chest a nice sparkle. You can’t tell where new meets old.
 

Greg had a simple desire for his mountain home. He wanted to be able to stand outside his front door without getting dripped on while he dug for his key… From the street the house appears  to have a flat roof, so we also designed a flat roof for his front porch. He didn’t want to see the gutter so I hid it inside the roof supports. A rubber roofing pan drains directly into the vertical downspout to the left… Problem solved and it looks good with the rest of the house.

Colleen handed me a photograph of a Mission styled bathroom she liked. She wanted to do her entire hall bathroom with lots of storage, wood panelling, a tiled floor, and a beautiful claw foot tub… This was a project with a very high level of craftsmanship, and it didn’t hurt to have a knowledge of Mission woodworking. I worked up a drawing for her approval. We picked the wood, a beautiful quarter-sawn white oak, and I went to work.
