"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 highly recommend Fabiano's Construction. Our experience with him was fantastic from beginning to end. The project was to restore and replace the exterior window frames of our 1830 Trinity. The previous owners had installed new windows on the inside but left the old ones outside for beauty. Many of these old windows were completely rotten at the bottom, barely holding the small panes of glass together. We got three estimates. One builder wanted to replace the old windows with a second set of new ones. Another was going to patch them up with wood filler. Fabiano was the only one who was willing to actually restore them, using green wood for the parts that were beyond salvaging. It was precision carpentry work requiring problem-solving ingenuity. The new frames and sills are green wood plus Azek (PVC), so they should last forever. Although more major restoration was necessary than foreseen, Fabiano and his crew—his son Will and assistant Simon—still finished the job in the predicted time. They were careful, focused, hard-working, and also really nice, honest people. It was a pleasure to meet them, and the result is a stunning improvement to our house both inside and out. Fabiano is responsive and friendly, an expert who takes pride in his work. Incredibly, his price was the lowest the three. We plan to hire him for another project."

"I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin from @KKID Remodeling. He is very professional and knows how to repair or install stuffs around the house. Mostly importantly he loves what he does and even cares about the quality more than the owner does."

"Joe, Jose, Arturo and Mauricio were all extremely professional, prompt and did an excellent job. Not only did they build an extension to our flagstone patio including a retaining wall, but they reset our existing patio as the previous contractor did not set it right. Would hire again."

"We hired Dave and his team to build a deck in our backyard and it was a truly great experience. Dave was friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions during the estimate process, and then was reliable and communicative during the building. We always knew what step was next and the expected timing, so we never felt out of the loop. On top of the great professionalism, the work completed was excellent and immediately felt worth the time and money we spent. We will definitely be reaching out to Dave for our next project and many more in the future. If you are looking for a skilled contractor who is professional, knowledgeable and has a wide range of skills, Dave and his team are your best bet."

"MD Siding provided a fair quote on a small siding job for a ranch house and also installed new seamless gutters and fascia. David was easy to contact via text or call. Work was done well, worked all day and finished in a timely manner. Everything looks great. Would definitely recommend them."

"I hired D Design Woodworking to build a floor mirror utilizing an antique mirror from an English armoire. We discussed the design, the type of wood (maple) to be used and the stain color. I received the mirror yesterday and I couldnâ t be happier. The mirror looks great in the frame and Iâ m extremely impressed with the workmanship. The mirror is very substantial and the stain matches our new bedroom furniture perfectly. I cannot recommend D Design more highly."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.
