Customers say: Quality work

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Elevated Home Improvements for the construction of a sunroom and deck, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Jeff Bell and his sons run this family-owned and operated business, and their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, communication was excellent. They were honest and upfront about the process, timelines, and costs, which I really appreciated. Not only did they finish the job on time, but the results were beyond my expectations. The craftsmanship was impeccable, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the work. What stood out the most was their friendly and approachable demeanor. They made sure to address any concerns I had along the way and were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. The pricing was fair and transparent, making the entire experience stress-free. I highly recommend Elevated Home Improvements to anyone looking for high-quality work, excellent communication, fair pricing, and a friendly team. You won't be disappointed with the beautiful work they do!"

"I recently hired Iron Brothers Construction in Nashville for tree work and stump removal, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did an excellent job from start to finish—everything was completed efficiently and within a very reasonable timeframe. The pricing was fair and competitive, especially considering the quality of the work. What really stood out to me was how personable and professional the owner was. He made the whole process easy, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was done right. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality tree services, I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
