"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 hired Thomas Hickman to rebuild my deck, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. He works alone, and his professionalism, discipline, communication, and attention to detail were clear every day he was here. He completed the full rebuild in four days using treated lumber and quality materials. He brought the deck up to code, installed proper joist anchors, and pointed out that the original deck had been built with untreated wood. The difference in workmanship is obvious. Mr. Hickman delivered top‑tier work and never cut corners. Several neighbors stopped by during the build and asked him to quote their decks after seeing the quality of his work. I’m fully satisfied with the result and recommend him without hesitation."

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.

"Rich did a welding job for me on a metal chair. He was easy to talk to at the beginning and end of the job. While he had my chair, there was a delay in getting it done due to him not having the right tool with him. Once I told him that I was disappointed by the delay, he said that he misunderstood the time frame and then worked to make it right. So just make sure to be clear on the time expectation and you should be fine. Good handiwork!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
