Chapter 01
Exterior rot repairs: finding where the water got in
Rot rarely starts where you see it. It starts where water gets in and cannot get out: the bottom of a windowsill, the end grain of a trim board, the corner where flashing has failed, the foot of a door casing. By the time the paint bubbles or a screwdriver sinks in, the damage has usually spread behind the surface. Repairing the board without fixing the leak only buys a season.
JMP does exterior rot repairs on houses and commercial buildings around Leominster, and gives you an estimate within a couple of days. Jay looks for the source first, cuts out the soft wood back to solid framing, and replaces it so the new work sheds water the way the old work should have. Call (978) 235-4746 and describe what you are seeing.

Finish carpentry inside: framing, drywall, trim and basements
Inside the house, carpentry is the part everyone sees every day. JMP frames walls and hangs drywall, sets baseboards, crown molding and trim, and fits windowsills, and it handles basement remodeling from the first stud to the last piece of casing. The work lives in the joints: mitres that close, inside corners that are coped, not forced, and trim that follows the wall instead of fighting it.
Older houses around Leominster are rarely square, so baseboard is scribed to the floor and crown is fitted to the ceiling as it actually runs. A tight reveal around a window or a clean line where the trim meets the drywall is what separates carpentry you notice for the right reasons from carpentry you notice for the wrong ones. Good trim work looks easy, and that is the point.
Chapter 03
Vanities, cabinets and built pieces for homes and shops
JMP installs vanities and kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and builds the carpentry around them. A cabinet run is only as good as the wall behind it: boxes set level and plumb, fastened into framing, with doors and drawers that line up from one end of the run to the other. A vanity needs the same care, plus a clean fit around the plumbing.
The same crew works on residential and commercial jobs, so a shop, an office or an apartment building gets the same standard as a family kitchen. Jay is on the job site himself, which means the person who quoted the work is the person checking it. Construction Supervisor License #86440, Home Improvement Contractor #159480. Residential or commercial, the first step is the same: tell us what the room or the building needs.
