"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"

"The work was awesome, they were on time and worked every day. They cleaned up after their day was complete and were extremely easy to work with through the process. Their workmanship is top notch. I will be using them again to build a barn and eventually to build an addition off the back of my house."

"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."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
