"We needed to have our basement remodeled, requested a quote, and the owner was onsite in a few days, he was extremely flexible with our busy schedule. He provided us with a quote shortly after in a timely fashion. The work was of high quality, and completed in the estimated time. The overall price was reasonable and the project stayed on budget. Wally and all of his workers were always polite, professional, punctual, and extremely responsive. I would recommend this company to any for any of your home improvement needs. We are extremely satisfied, and look forward to working with Manfredia Carpentry in the future. We love our new basement!!!"

"Dave and his son did a terrific job. I first hired him to stain my deck and he did such a wonderful job, I decided to have him paint my whole house. Dave provided a very fair price, communicated clearly and was very efficient. I would highly recommend him for any painting needs."

"I hired Nelson and Sons to build a screened in porch off the back of my home from scratch. The entire job from start to finish including clean up was completed in less than 2 weeks. John and his sons are extremely friendly and easy to work with, They are efficient and their work is superior. They worked with my budget to build a porch that turned out beautiful and is everything I hoped for. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for future projects."

"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."

"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."

"AutLaws Carpentry came out to measure for my crown mouldings and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was prompt, reached out immediately, and met with me the same day. He measured everything carefully and double checked his measurements, which gave me a lot of confidence. He was friendly, professional, and detail-oriented. I am 100% positive I chose the right person for the job."

"Bill fixed and refinished my antique front door and frame. He brought in an associate with further expertise in woodwork, and they were prompt, thorough, courteous, and patient with my various requests/questions. Reasonable pricing, and he is going to be doing some painting at my house as well. Will definitely use his services in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
