If you have bought a fixer upper we can do the complete renovation for you. we also build Custom Homes, Custom Cabinets, and Wine Cellars

"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!"

Looking for an affordable way to fence your dog? Outdoor Pet Solutions is Nashville's #1 choice in pet containment. Our electronic hidden dog fences are 100% Made in the USA and our exclusive Gentle Approach training program insures your dog experiences a fun stress free training process.

"Adam installed a pet door for us. Doesn't sound like a big deal, right? Actually, it is a pretty big deal to do. First of all, the door where the doggy door needed to go was double-glazed glass with metal grids between the glass panes, and the door is steel-clad. Second, our dog is a Great Pyrenees and 30 inches tall at the shoulder - she's a giant dog and needs literally a giant-sized doggy door. Adam was an excellent communicator during the entire process of ordering the right parts and coming to the house to perform the installation. He was on time and did a professional job. I have installed doggy doors myself for this beast of a dog, and I have paid other professional doggy door installers at other homes to provide that service. Adam's finished product is head and shoulders above what either I or other professionals that I've hired in the past have delivered. First rate experience, first rate workmanship. I would definitely recommend Adam for any similar kind of work. Attention to detail is exceptional."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot.
