Nice to see that craftsmanship and service after the sale still exists. Thanks Manfredia Carpentry & General Contracting."

"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."

"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."

"Our deck and covered porch turned out better than we hoped. John takes pride in his work and it shows. He supports what he builds and wants to do things the right way. He and his crew have a lot of experience as well so they were able to provide great insight when we didn't quite know what direction to go with design or functionality."

"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."

"Kevin was professional, on time, and a fast worker. I plan to use him again in the future. I tried to fix the bi-fold door myself and failed. He discovered that the frame of the door was not level and took care of that. He also installed smoke alarms."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tom completed picture-frame trimwork in my dining room. He was very easy to work with and timely with regard to providing the estimate and completing the work. He was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about what I wanted to have done. It wasn't a big job in terms of the cost (meaning: he could have told me it wasn't worth his time), but he made it a priority and completed the project quickly, knowing that I was planning a big party in my new home and wanted to have the trimwork complete. I will definitely use Tom again for future work that we will need and would recommend him to others!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
