Super Service Award winner annually from 2013-2023 in Murfreesboro and surrounding Tennessee Areas!! We are fully licensed and insured to work on both commercial and residential properties. We specialize in flooring, both sales and installation. We bring the samples right to your home or place of business providing you with excellent quality of service and product lower than our competitors. Installer Direct has been installing hardwood, tile, laminate, carpet and many other kinds of flooring as well as back splashes and custom tile showers for over 28 years in Rutherford and Davidson Counties. We sell hardwood, carpet, laminate and vinyl for less than flooring stores because of our low overhead and direct buying power. We also offer sale and installation of luxury vinyl plank flooring. Our 12 mm product is a better quality and a lower cost than you will find in large box stores; this allows us to be competitive with our pricing. Luxury vinyl plank is completely waterproof! What sets us apart from most flooring companies is that the installer is also your salesman. In most cases a salesman with little to no experience at installing flooring will come out and measure and then on the day installation someone you have never met will come in and start installing the flooring. When you call Installer Direct the installer will come out, give you a free detailed estimate, and be able to answer any questions that you may have. They can find out exactly what specific ideas and care that your home will need and it won't get lost in translation between salesman and installer. We put our customers first, and because of that, we leave every job with the customer's full satisfaction.

"John and his team were excellent from the first conversation to the install. He explained all the options and cost breakdown clearly and worked to ensure we were confident with our decision. He is VERY responsive and his team did an amazing job on the installation. They were timely, courteous and went out of their way to ensure every part of the install was to our expectations. They also cleaned up and ensured our space was spotless before they left. This was an excellent experience and we couldn't be happier with the piece of mind they provided at a great price. If you are considering a storm shelter do yourself a favor and give John a call."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
