In the United Stated, carpentry substitutes or includes some popular professions in Brazil and European countries such as plasterers, wood-workers, and bricklayers. But, calm down! The carpenters of the United States are not super-men. What happens is that the North American system of construction is based on drywall (wall and ceilings made of gypsum and other additives) and often, wood structures. Therefore, the work made with gypsum is better and most appropriate when made along with wood and MDF. Laminated or hardwood flooring is also very common in the US and this job is executed by carpenters as well. The woodworkers also have their field of action around here, but their work is often substituted by big corporations that sell prefabricated cabinets where only the installation is made by carpenters. Therefore, if you thinking about changing the design of your home, you will need good carpenters.
