"Mel and his crew remodeled my kitchen, livingroom, bathroom and replaced my back deck. They took down a wall between my kitchen and livingroom to really open the space. They did a wonderful job. They were on time and Mel and Micheal were always available to answer any questions I had. The whole remodel took a few weeks longer than expected but that was due to deliveries being postponed. A few subcontractors were a little messy or didn't clean up but Micheal was there to correct all the issues usually before I said anything or even noticed. Overall I was pleased and my husband and I are so happy in our newly remodeled home!"

"Doug Spohn was recommended by the architect we had design the remodel/addition. The first thing that stood out to me was his punctuality.  He said he would be over at 10:00 to look it over for bidding, and when he saw he would be about 5 minutes late, he called to let us know he was running a little late. He submitted his bid when he said he would, with the right amount of detail. He detailed the bid in order to allow me to do some of the work and save some money.  From day one on the job, he was here when the workers were. His subcontractors were great. They were all very professional, courteous and respectful. The job was finished when he said it would be. He was great choice, and we now have a friend in Doug. I would recommend him to everyone.

Customers say: Quality work

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Elevated Home Improvements for the construction of a sunroom and deck, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Jeff Bell and his sons run this family-owned and operated business, and their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, communication was excellent. They were honest and upfront about the process, timelines, and costs, which I really appreciated. Not only did they finish the job on time, but the results were beyond my expectations. The craftsmanship was impeccable, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the work. What stood out the most was their friendly and approachable demeanor. They made sure to address any concerns I had along the way and were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. The pricing was fair and transparent, making the entire experience stress-free. I highly recommend Elevated Home Improvements to anyone looking for high-quality work, excellent communication, fair pricing, and a friendly team. You won't be disappointed with the beautiful work they do!"

Hi I’m Thomas, I am about to graduate from the university of Tennessee with a degree in mechanical engineering. I have been using tools all my life and I have lots of experience in all sorts of areas. I take my time and do the best job I can no matter what it is. I take pride in my work and don’t cut corners. I enjoy meeting new people and building connections.

Woodworking FAQs, 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.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.

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.
