"Franklin was very professional. He and his crew showed up when he said they would, they were very quick and proficient. Franklin explained everything that I needed to know about the process of building the deck. He is very knowledgeable, very communicative, and very respectful. I would recommend southern decks to anyone looking for deck builds. Give them a call for your next deck build!"

"I have the highest respect and recommendation for Tom Dixon. My ornate wooden fence was damaged by an uninsured motorist. I gave the number of the uninsured motorist to Tom, so he could explain his materials and labor estimate in detail. Tom came out, made the repairs/replacements and matched the curved and scalloped top on my fence as well as matching the junction to my neighbors fence. His high quality work has my fence looking like new. Tom was so patient with this motorist, making many calls and informing them of the project status. He actually received his full payment from that motorist!! I was so impressed that a Contractor would even make that effort, let alone succeed. Tom Dixon with Mid TN Contractors went far above and beyond what I expected and I highly recommend them!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
