"Southern Decks was an absolute joy to work with! They are professional, timely, communicative and above all, do excellent work. I know who I will be using for all of my future deck builds. Thank you Frank, Marlon and the rest of your crew!"
"The drywall repair and painting looks amazing, and they had to rebuild my bathroom vanity to fit the new top. It looks really great. These people are so nice and real professionals."
"Mr. King was highly professional and courteous. He presented a detailed estimate and stuck to it. He kept me updated on the progress of the project. He was flexible and agreed to a change in the project after it was started. His workmanship was excellent. I only know a little about carpentry, but I could tell that his work was very good. I highly recommend this company."
"Angel and his team were always on time, extremely polite and attentive, listened to all my thoughts and concerns, never left behind any type of mess, and above all else were meticulous when it came to their work."
"Having signed on with a different builder in early September, that builder came and tore out our old deck before getting the building permit. After contacting the City of Columbia permit office, we were told more information was needed from the builder. Four weeks later they still hadn't provided the necessary information. We ended up going with Tennth Floor Contracting and they were Awesome!!! After we paid the deposit, they submitted the permit application and even sent us a screenshot of it. 10 days later they had the permit and scheduled the project for 11/10/2025. They were finished by Thursday late afternoon, 4 days later.
Edward and his staff were so thoughtful and did great work."
"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!"
"The guys showed up on time and did a great job re-screening a very large area on my porch. They were professional and efficient and I will certainly hire them again when I need this type of service. Highly recommend!"

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.
Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
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.
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.
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
