"Dennis was prompt, clean, and responsive to all questions. He completed the original work (venting 4 exhaust fans outside) within the budget shared during the timeframe he provided. We have since used him for other tasks including fixing our fence and building a gate for our fence. He also color matached the pain. We will use Dennis again."

"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."

"Thomas showed up each day exactly on time. He was courteous and answered all of my questions. Tom took time explaining the damage that would need repairing and how he thought it should be done. His work is meticulous and his attention to detail refreshing. I'll upload pictures once the deck staining is complete, but I am very happy with the work."

Customers say: True professional

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.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.
