Windows and doors are so constant in our daily lives that we can often overlook them. As soon as they begin to malfunction, deteriorate or become outdated, however, we quickly realize how important they are. Perhaps a door or a window starts to let in cold drafts, or it doesn't open as easily as it used to. Or, maybe it's time to coordinate your windows and doors for a home repair or remodel. M.K. Brummel has been specializing in window and door replacement and installation for more than 30 years.
Today's bathroom remodeling has evolved well beyond the simple, practical use bathrooms were first meant to provide (think white tiles, medicine cabinets and single-bulb lighting). You can now make your bathroom an attractive and comfortable room that serves, soothes and invites with distinction. A skilled and experienced bathroom modeling contractor is a major asset when you want to upgrade your bathroom. As a home repair expert, the right contractor supports you with incisive planning, information and thought.
Whether you're moving into a fixer-upper or you've lived in your home for a while, home repair or remodeling eventually becomes part of your general home maintenance. Your home is typically the biggest and most important investment you'll make. General home maintenance that includes home repair and remodeling is the wise way to protect and increase the value of your investment. When you're working with your choice of contractor for home repair or remodeling, you want more than products and materials of good quality.
Your kitchen is a central room where family and friends gather to make memories.

Rough carpentry concerns mainly framing and structural work, so most of it is covered and therefore unseen. It does not need to be balanced, detailed and visually pleasing. Finish carpentry involves the decorative woodworking in the final stages of your home addition, repair or remodel. It is what gives your rooms their defining character. A good finish carpenter must have a keen eye, an equal sense of symmetry and aesthetics, and an exact understanding of measurements and matching components. M.K. Brummel excels in finish carpentry including custom trim work and replacing molding and trim.
If you're considering a home addition, you may have already discussed it and begun forming ideas. You also might have started visiting showrooms and paging through magazines. Perhaps you've been inspired by a friend's or neighbor's house as well. The next step for you is connecting with a specialist in custom home additions that provide both function and feel based on your style. Other major factors are the contractor's knowledge of all project phases and aspects (including zoning restrictions), versatility within your budget, assistance with permit paperwork, and record of job-site cleanliness and minimal household disruption.
Well, we can finally unveil the rear stone porch project that we have been working on for the last 8 months. This project uses a combination of thin stone and matching standard stone. The arches and straight opening are finished with stucco. The interior has a 1-1/2" thick tongue and groove ceiling...

We had a fun job last week. We had to replace a detached "valley" rafter that caused a huge sag in the roof. We supported the jack rafters, removed the broken valley rafter, and installed a double laminated beam as the new valley. We also ran a double beam in the attic, to help support the valley....
Well, the stone facade is pretty much done on the front of the house in Oswego. The stone and siding color really compliment each other well. The garage door openings were raised and arched to match the arched glass profile in the new garage doors. Hopefully we will have pictures of the rear stone / timber porch in a few weeks.
