"Manfredia's Carpentry is a top notch contractor. I did a fireplace surround with stone and also added the stone on two columns off of the kitchen to match. The quality of their work is exceptional. They are very professional and always on time. They kept me informed every step of the way. They always kept the work site very clean. I couldn't be happier with the final outcome. We also stayed on budget. I would highly recommend Manfredia's Carpentry for any job. Well done. Thank you. Debbie"

"I was very happy with the work done by Richard. He was prompt in getting back to me and coming out for an estimate. More importantly, he did the job the right way. Repairing the window leak required some outside caulking that I had missed when I performed the job myself. He then repaired the header, drywall and plaster. The sliding glass door leak actually turned out to be the bigger issue. He discovered where the leak was coming from and identified a section of the wood framing that was rotting out from water damage. He cut out and replaced that section and sealed it. His idea of doing things right was comparable to mine and I was very happy with the work performed."

"John and his team of sons are the absolute best. I can recommend them without hesitation. I live in a neighborhood with new construction houses and strict HOA rules, and John worked within their rules to build us the deck of our dreams! He is so good at what he does that he was selected to build the decks for 3 of the houses in our small neighborhoodâ other deck builders couldnâ t compete with his craftsmanship, quality, and prices. John and his team are extremely knowledgeable and will work with you to build the deck that is perfect for your home and your budget. They do quality work, are friendly, efficient, and honest. We know nothing about decks and John made several different recommendations and never pressured us regarding our decision or tried to upsell us something that wasnâ t needed. He doesnâ t use subcontractorsâ every day itâ s either John himself or his sons who show up and perform the work. If you are looking for a local company you can trust to build your deck, look no further."

"I hired Plymouth Nursery after speaking with several neighbors who recommended this company. I met with John the owner and found him to be very knowledgeable and very professional. I moved into my home in November of 2020 and discovered that when it rained there was a tremendous amount of water that would build up in front of my front t door. John offered several solutions and I elected to address the drainage issue with a French drain solution around the front and side of the house . In addition Plymouth Nursery installed a flag stone porch and walk way with Belgium blocks as a border. Lighting was included in the package as well as new shrubs and plants. The team that worked on my property were very courteous and professional. John checked on the status of his team every day and kept me well informed. The end product exceeded my expectations and my family is very pleased with the final product. I found John to be honest and true to his word. I am very satisfied with Plymouth Nursery and would hire them again in a second . It is difficult to find a reliable contractor who provides detailed scope of work with itemized costs. John was great to work with and his team members cleaned the site every day. I had 3 quotes and Plymouth Nursery was the only contractor who provided an itemized scope of work and a company who I felt comfortable dealing with."

"Joe and his crew did excellent work. The project came with some extra challenges, some rotting wood and strange window edging. But Joe and his team answered all my questions and modified the project to fit the needs. I needed some modifications for window capping and Joe was always readily available to answer all my questions and take care of any issues throughout the entire process. Iâ m impressed by the work and consideration Joe and the crew had. So impressed I started another project with them while they were here. Joe came, measured everything up and had everything taken care of in one day, what service! I would definitely recommend Joe and his team to anyone in need of a siding project!"

"The job itself was done perfectly, which is why the 5 stars. . My only problem is that I was not aware that the part Bill ordered for our storm door was NOT just a small part as I was told but an entire frame for the entire door! What I thought was an easy fix ended up costing me $250. The price for the frame was $75. I feel totally overcharged."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
