"Perfect! Talk about service after the sale, Manfredia Carpentry A +++. We have used this Company for over 15 years for projects ranging from commercial exterior renovation, residential - siding, addition, decks. Forgetting great craftsmanship and fair prices, anytime we have needed anything AFTER a project is over, Manfredia has been superb. Nice to see that craftsmanship and service after the sale still exists. Thanks Manfredia Carpentry & General Contracting."

"We had a pretty long list of small like repaired drywall cracks and painting to larger jobs such as rebuilding a flagstone walkway. What impressed me most was the creativity in solutions for what seemed simple, but was not. One example was a large panel next to our refrigerator which was water damaged. Nothing could fix the water damage so the solution was to craft a panel to affix, stain to color, and make it like the damage never happened. The fact we had a leak is a disclosure item for a sale, the fact that it was fixed is what we hired this company for. Excellent work with very nice people."

"Everything was perfect. I’m very pleased and impressed with Dave’s responsiveness, professionalism and ability. Some stubborn parts on our old tub and shower were tricky, but he persevered and made everything work wonderfully well. He hung a large framed painting that had been leaning against the fireplace for ages (this required a pro to hang correctly) and it looks outstanding. It’s centered just right and is secure. Lastly, he installed a new faucet in another bathroom and that looks gorgeous also. Dave does it all and I will definitely hire him again for other home improvements and repairs. Very reasonable and honest. He goes the extra mile to do the job right. I’m so happy to have found him on Angies List."

"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."

"James Parker is the best. He Replaced my Deck. He is a very honest person and Knows what he is doing. When my son gets his new house I definitely recommend James Parker to do his deck, he did a fantastic job, and replacing it with the Trex makes it look even more beautiful. First, he came in and as they were taking the wooden planks off to get to the frame he did tell me that the wood was bad so it had to be replaced and he actually showed me what the problem was too, and then within three days I had a brand new deck. You will not go wrong hiring James Parker, he and his team are awesome. Not only were they fast they were very professional as well."

"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."

"Our repair person, Mohammed, did an excellent job repairing our composite deck. He knew what needed to be done, explained it thoroughly to us, and did such a good job that the deck looks like new again. We were impressed with his work ethic - he returned phone calls quickly, showed up when he said he would, brought the right tools with him, and didn’t leave until we were satisfied with his repairs. We definitely would hire him again for any future home repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
