"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!!!"

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"It was nice to find someone who knows what they do and responsible. Frank is professional contractor. His work is quality. He works quick. Reasonable price. Clean and respectful. I had wall frame installed on my 2 stories high ceiling wall, also on the other side of fireplace and in dining room wall. They are so elegant. I was a little nervous on the high ceiling wall. If the measurement is wrong it can look disaster. But Frank did an amazing job. I’m very happy. Definitely will hire him again to do tiles around fireplace and finish the basement. I’m a happy customer. Highly recommend!!"

"A.W. Viohl won the contract, and immediately we realized that our decision was correct. This project not only needed an outstanding contractor – that outfit had to have the access and relationships with an architect, master plumber and master electrician that could pull this job off. It took a few weeks for us to get the necessary building permits, but the architect was relentless – meeting with us on the weekends when necessary and getting all of the specifications the county needed for our plan to be approved. Demolition proceeded with minimal disruption, and concerns, such as dust, were brought up – they were resolved immediately. I started an album set on Facebook for my faith community – documenting each weekly success. At the point that flooring was needed, we further enjoyed access to an outstanding supply shop, and the church’s “aesthetics team” reported the outstanding service experience they enjoyed along with extremely competitive prices for the materials we needed – so much so that the contracted expanded to install new flooring all the way to the main entrance of the church! The A.W. Viohl team includes a master tile craftsman – Brent made the tile floors in the new bathrooms and new kitchen look spectacular! New bathrooms, a performance kitchen with excellent electrical and plumbing support, and adequate ventilation – elements of our new “Mission Hall.” This multipurpose room can comfortably accommodate an aerobics class; it masterfully acts as a polling station for New Castle County; and it can host a formal party or reception for 75 or more guests. Our church now has the facility it needed to carry out some of its mission projects with a hall that we can be proud of, that met our needs, and stayed within our budget due to the outstanding work performed by A.W. Viohl Contracting!!"

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.
