"I was pleased with every step in the process. There were no surprises other than the excellent price. The estimator showed up when he said he would. He promptly sent the estimate and the project was scheduled several weeks ahead of time. The project was delayed a couple days due to bad weather but they called a few days before the project was scheduled to start to let me know about the delay. The crew was professional and courteous and we are thrilled with their work."

I started as a handyman after my career in law enforcement, so I've seen how hard it is for people to get help for anything. Customer service seems to be a thing of the past, but not with Middle Tennessee Enterprises. I pride myself in responding to everyone who contacts me for assistance. I have been incredibly blessed and have grown. We are now Middle Tennessee Enterprises, we can help you with any project big or small. We pride ourselves on our craftsmanship and quality along with our quick turn around time. We understand no one wants to live in a construction zone for longer then they have to. If you need anything do not hesitate to give us a call.

"Richard Arnold sent a young associate named Tom who had extensive repair experience with 3-D as well as previous industrial experience. Tom did an excellent job welding my badly broken 3-point- hitch, tractor grader blade. I know welding but have never bought the equipment. My Dad taught welding as a vocational agricultural high school teacher. Besides a good repair at a fair price both Richard and Tom were personable and easy to work with."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
