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.

So glad I hired this team and I would definitely hire them again, very professional and also some hardworking people. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!"

At Mr. Foundation, also known as DFX Foundation & Waterproofing Experts, we don't just repair homes; we restore peace of mind. Operating across various markets in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee, our company was founded on the principle that expertise and ethics come first. Unlike typical businesses led by sales targets, our roots are firmly planted in engineering excellence and a commitment to genuine solutions. Our team specializes in a comprehensive range of services, including professional foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and encapsulation, as well as concrete repair and lifting. But what truly sets us apart is our approach. We see each home as a unique project and each client as a valued partner.

"I live in an antebellum house, built in 1837. Over the past 175 years some of the bricks underneath the fireplace in the living room and gathering room had crumbled. The floor needed repairs and leveling. I contacted 4 companies to evaluate the problem and develop a solution. Luke Griffin, with Mr. Foundation, was the only person who actually went under the house and took pictures of the problem for us to see. We were able to see what was happening at the fireplaces. He then studied the problem and the next day offered us a solution. They came and installed steel beams with stainless steel jacks, leveled the floors and resolved the problem. I tell people an elephant now could jump up and down on the floors. Would I recommend Mr. Foundation?? 100%!!! And, FYI, their price was considerably less than two of the other companies."

At Tri State Flood Inc, we specialize in comprehensive disaster restoration services. Our team is dedicated to safeguarding homes and businesses from the damaging effects of water, fires, mold and storms. Here’s what sets us apart: Water Removal and Storm Damage Restoration: When water wreaks havoc due to storms or other incidents, we’re here to help. Our 24/7 emergency response team swiftly tackles water extraction, drying, and structural repairs. Comprehensive Services: Beyond mold and water remediation, we handle storm damage repairs, basement flood cleanup and fire restoration. Choose Tri State Flood Inc for reliable, efficient, and compassionate restoration services. We’re committed to restoring peace of mind and protecting your property.

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

We offer free inspections and free estimates with confidence that after you meet our professionals, you’ll know you’re getting the best value available with the best customer service in the business.

"These are extremely nice and responsive people. However, their mole removal service just doesn’t work. We have had 5 scheduled treatments. We are now told that we are beyond warranty after the last treatment on 8/16. We started the service back on 6/19. And now after a $625 charge, we still have moles. These folks may be very effective in other areas, but if you need mole removal, this company definitely doesn’t have the solution."

We are a Licensed & Bonded Public Claims Adjusting Firm headquartered and founded in Tampa Bay, Florida. We represent clients in Florida, Georgia & Virginia. Our goal is to make sure that our clients receive ALL the money that they deserve from the insurance carrier. Our firm will communicate with the insurance company and act as an advocate for the policyholder during the claims process. We prepare a full scope and itemized estimate of damage for residential or commercial properties. We review the insurance policy for coverage and explain the claims process, as well as duties after a loss, and what to expect from the insurance carrier throughout the process of the claim.

"Reliable Claims Adjusting provided invaluable assistance, ensuring that our insurance provider paid an appropriate amount based on our policy and the loss we had experienced. When we first filed our claim with the insurance company they tried to deny it completely, which was really frightening. Andrew with Reliable Claims Adjusting explained the whole process of working with a public adjuster, and ultimately was able to secure funds that should cover all of our needed repairs. We are incredibly grateful!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, mineral spirits are flammable and may spontaneously combust at temperatures of 200 degrees F or more. Storing them in well-ventilated spaces and disposing of them the proper way are the best ways to prevent mineral spirits or anything contaminated with them, like towels and rags, from going up in smoke.

On average, you should expect the fire damage restoration process to take two weeks, but the timeline can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage and the type of fire damage you have. Minor cooking fires that you’re able to extinguish yourself may only take a day or two to clean soot and remove smoke odors, while restoring an entire section of a home or fixing structural damage after a major house fire can take six to 12 months. Ask your professional for a more accurate timeline for your specific project.

Most projects take 1-8 weeks, depending on structural repairs, cleaning, and air quality restoration.

Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more—it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner’s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you’re buying a home with fire damage, though, it’s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.

While it’s not the most glamorous task, cleaning your chimney is vitally important to the safety of your home. Neglecting chimney cleaning can cause a blockage and buildup of toxic gasses in your flue, which could lead to a dangerous chimney fire. That’s why it’s important to maintain your chimney and schedule annual cleanings from a professional.
