"Need a deck? Covered porch? Whatever you do, DO NOT hire Lonely Mountain Craftsmen, LLC.
They did not pull permits with the county, as required. The excuse was ?we didn?t realize we had to have a permit?.
Didn?t pull / request electrical permit/inspection until I requested it from them. Still in process.
Didn?t follow code, had to look up TN code myself and ask to redo porch railings.
Did not want to fix anything that was done incorrectly. Would make excuses and point blame.
What they did do?
Showed up late, left early
Made excuses for delays- so many excuses were used- we joke about which one it will be each time.
Ruined our gutters, pieces of brand new siding.
Asked for money before the job was completed"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
Yes, many kinds of building permits exist for various projects in and outside your home. Each city sets the permit categories, but they typically cover new construction, alterations, and demolition. For example, you will need a different permit to finish a basement than you would tear down the patio.
Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.
While installing a carport will have only a slight, if any, bearing on increasing the selling price of your home, simply having a high-quality and well-maintained carport can improve the selling appeal to would-be house buyers. However, a poorly-maintained carport in disrepair can have the opposite effect and hurt the home's sales appeal.
A board foot is a volumetric unit and is primarily used for pricing and planning larger projects where volume is a factor. Pricing lumber by the board foot aids in understanding exactly how much wood you’re purchasing, as volume is a more accurate unit of measurement compared to square feet.
