"Fred Oakley is the best contractor we have ever worked with. He does what he says he will do, when he says he will do it, at the price he said he would do it for. He is also the *cleanest* contractor we have ever known! Honest, reliable, great communication, improvises when he needs to, listens to what the customer wants -- can't recommend him enough. Our bathroom (not remodeled since the house was built in 1960) is absolutely transformed, thanks to Fred. And a space which the realtor said absolutely could not hold a dishwasher--now has a dishwasher! We are able to stay in our house longer now with Fred's improvements, and we are grateful to him for his professionalism, his courtesy, his good nature, his expertise, his attention to detail, and his skill. Thank you, Fred."

"I hired the Team at Elemental to work on a full condo renovation after another contractor abandoned the project. Elemental stepped in and corrected problems the previous contractor created and took the entire project through finishing. They provided carpentry, plumbing, and electrical services as well as tiling and miscellaneous assembly installation services. Every task was completed on time and with high quality. Communication was great and I always received timely responses and feedback. Highly recommend!"

"So I decided last minute that I was ready for some bathroom renovations in our home this fall but could not find a contractor to commit to the project. K&M came the same day I posted the project in November to do measurements and provided me with a reasonable estimate within a week and were on the job within two weeks of posting on home advisor. In general, the guys were great. They showed up usually within 30 mins of the scheduled start time and took great care in making sure they didn’t ruin any of our homes wood flooring. They cleaned up nicely every day and had our bathrooms tiled, painted and put up three new shower doors over an 8 day period. At first the time estimate for the project was 5-6 days but ended up being 8 which I think likely happens with most contractor services. K&M was amenable to speeding up their pace near the end when I told them I was expecting a house full at Christmas and had it done the day before our home invasion. They were very good about getting the “noisy work” done before our daughter’s scheduled afternoon naps which was great. They weren’t loud in general and did beautiful tile work. My only criticism is that some of the paint work did have to be redone after the “rush finish” but they were more than willing to come back and fix the areas I was unhappy with. We had a giant windstorm the week after they finished and when they came to collect their debt even offered to fix one of our shutters which had been blown completely off the house for a very reasonable price. Overall these guys are highly reliable and do great work and I would hire them again!"

"Sergio and Southern Bright Star are absolutely amazing. He is meticulous in his work and his work ethic is superb. We had a previous contractor who had done an unprofessional job and my bathroom was a mess. The floor was not put in properly. The drywall was incomplete, the toilet leaked as soon as they left and the painting was amateur at best. Southern Bright Star came in behind these glaring mistakes and carefully and methodically worked what seemed like a miracle. He did not leave until we were completely satisfied. I would highly and enthusiastically recommend him and his company with absolutely no reservation."

"Exemplary! Jason delivered based on his recommendations and suggestions for our damaged fence and deck. During a bad storm, a large tree fell on our wooden fence and deck. I found good reviews online about Jason Mechler of Golden Rule and hired him. He explained the scope of work for rebuilding and repairing our damaged property. He and his crew worked hard and we are pleased with the result. I am convinced Golden Rule contractors are the best in Nashville because of Jason's attitude, character and work ethic. His knowledge, professionalism and respectfulness set him apart from several other contractors that bid on this job. His price was competitive for the work that had to be done. If you want the job done right, hire Jason Mechler of Golden Rule. His expertise on fence and deck building and repair is valuable to homeowners who are met with the hard work and challenges of home maintenance and repair. He is undoubtedly one of the best in the Nashville area and in demand."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I can’t even say enough great things about this company. The owner and his crew were outstanding! Did such a great job on our garage addition. They were so patient and understanding. The owner (Frank) even came with me to the city appeal hearing. A+ communication. Reasonably priced. Would I recommend him to family? He IS family. I am so grateful I found him on Angi’s list and hired him for this project. I highly recommend him!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
