Nashville Carport Building

They built a 2-car carport for me and later built one for my neighbor. The design had to match up with other carports of my condominium neighbors. However, once the six support posts were set and they started on the roof joists, Walt, the owner of Cumberland Garage Builders, made his crew stop. Even though other carports had been built with joists spanning approximately 20 feet, he felt that was not the best way to build the ceiling and roof structure. He felt that over time the ceiling and roof would sag and not be sound. He then ordered engineered trusses to be manufactured. This delayed the process about a week, but the overall result was a much stronger and more stable structure. I was very impressed that he made the decision to go with the engineered trusses, which made my carport much stronger. I would never have thought of this myself. Plus, even though this added to his cost, Walt did not charge me more than he had originally quoted. I definitely have and will continue to recommend Walt and Cumberland Garage Builders.

He was responsive. He kept a open wave of communication during the entire project. The project itself took a direction that was out of mine or his control and he was helpful and attentive during it all. He was honest and I will recommend his service to others.

UniPro LLC was great! From the very beginning all the way to the end of the build! Chad stays very involved and makes sure things are being built correctly according to the plans. There were a few design issues along the way that required pausing to make the correct adjustments. They made me feel so much more confident with my decision after they caught them and took the time to make the right adjustments instead of moving forward without bringing it to my attention to my opinion. Chad was very polite and took time to answer the hundreds of questions I had. After all, this was my first build, I had so many questions!! Definitely recommend this company with the upmost confidence.

When owner Mike Logan came to our house to give an estimate he was very nice and detailed in his presentation. He told us exactly what it would cost and the work was done in one day's time. Alum-Form is an excellent company. We could not be happier.

When G & B Carpentry drew up the initial contract information, they did not include staining, which we had specially asked for since my husband and I are seniors and don't need to be doing ladders, etc. I take responsibility for not noticing this, but we had to get them to add this, unfortunately, at an additional $1200. I already felt that we were overpaying, but I had searched for someone build a pergola, and I had only found but three others who did not want to do something this small (10' by 10'). We had to get everything approved by our HOA and when we were given the OK, we had to wait about 3 weeks to start, due to G & B not being able to get supplies. We requested that they saw and stain everything off-site because we live in a townhouse and we have no room to be doing that at our home. On the day of building, G & B was late, we had to call...they showed up with boards and planks and such, boards, etc. barely cut, not stained...and a saw. They did not follow the specifications we have given them, but because we were having so much trouble getting anything done, we accepted the outcome from that day. I had to ask one of the builders to move two of the planks for overhead because they were not spaced properly. We lost half of a bush because one of the workers apparently stepped right in the middle of it. Again, we had to wait almost 2 weeks for them to come out and stain, due to the rain we had during that period. When the day came for them to stain, the project manager called and said his crew of two were at Lowes trying to get the stain. They could not find it (I did not realize I had actually purchased the kind we wanted from Walmart for an earlier project.) But, this was the day of...they should have had the materials all ready to go straight to work that morning. Anyway, I drove to Lowes, met them and told them that I would go to Walmart and get the stain. They had been told by G & B to only get one gallon. I would have to travel to a Walmart farther down the road into another county to get more because, as they worked, we all realized 1 gallon would not be enough. Furthermore, we had to call and ask why the crew was still not in place to do the staining that morning since I beat them getting back to our house. The finished pergola is not bad, not what we asked for, but I am learning to like it more everyday. I am just so frustrated it was so hard to get it done!

We purchased a new existing home from this builder. We reported bubbled and delaminated wood floor planks on our inspection. We closed on the home in July of 2017. After closing, We discovered to what extent there was a problem. Also, we discovered from the subcontractors the 1200 square feet engineered oak flooring was installed on the concreted slab in July 2016 without the HVAC units. The HVAC contractor installed both units in October of 2016, three months after the engineered wood flooring install. This voided the manufacturer warranty. After nine months of pleading for the builder to replace the floor. The builder has done nothing. I reported the builder to the Tennessee Board of Commerce & Insurace for failure to respond to his poor workmanship last December. The builder should have prevented to flooring installation until the was a controlled environment for the materials. My case was closed with no action. He will not admit fault... if you do business with this company, do not close with remaking items on the punch list and bring your own real estate agent into the contract.

We purchased a home built by Stone Oak Builders. In our opinion, their products and workmanship were sometimes below what we had anticipated. Some items were not completed to our satisfaction. After the home purchase, we experienced some issues with the home. In our opinion, it was difficult getting an appropriate resolution for several items.

We called National Barn Co with the size of the building I wanted to build. They gave me a written estimate on the project, and the final bill was exact to the estimate. National Barn Co was as prompt as can be and quite professional. I would use them again.

Wayne and his son are very professional and they kept us informed during the entire process of building our new home. They were very punctual, professional, and all around a blessing for us to have found. We would highly recommend them to anyone serious about building a home.

Jerry Reynolds will build your home as if it was his own. I didn’t go into this adventure with Reynolds Builders blindly. My background is in architectural engineering and I watched Jerry build several houses on my street prior to contacting him. He has earned my trust and respect. He’s honest, upfront, and enjoys building homes not just houses. Jerry has a great eye for design, an extensive knowledge of construction costs, methods and materials, and the experience to head off potential problems before they happen. In addition, he has assembled a solid team of subcontractors who are artisans in their own right. In the end, I have a well-built home that exceeds my expectations and Jerry turned the dreaded process of building a home into fun. He’s a keeper!
