"Need a deck? Covered porch? Whatever you do, DO NOT hire Lonely Mountain Craftsmen, LLC.
They did not pull permits with the county, as required. The excuse was ?we didn?t realize we had to have a permit?.
Didn?t pull / request electrical permit/inspection until I requested it from them. Still in process.
Didn?t follow code, had to look up TN code myself and ask to redo porch railings.
Did not want to fix anything that was done incorrectly. Would make excuses and point blame.
What they did do?
Showed up late, left early
Made excuses for delays- so many excuses were used- we joke about which one it will be each time.
Ruined our gutters, pieces of brand new siding.
Asked for money before the job was completed"

"Randy Carroll and his great team remodeled two bathrooms, installed a new laundry room floor, tore down my existing screened-in porch, rebuilt an enlarged screened-in porch and added a deck. The jobs were completed in early May and I still walk into my bathrooms and onto my porch and smile!! They did an amazing job, listened to my many "wants", provided me with options to save money and always consulted/advised us on what was being done. Randy took the time on several occasions during the renovations to make sure we were happy with the progression and the work. I could not have been happier with Randy and his entire team. I felt like I was losing family members when the projects were done!! Would not hesitate to hire them for additional work. Already have some projects in mind."

"David rebuilt my deck stairs which are a story or two high and fixed the railing on top of the deck and fixed the supports under the deck. He also fixed and repaired my back porch. It was a lot of work for both projects, but he did a great job on both. He's very easy to talk to and work with and he has a great personality and work ethic. He listened and answered all my concerns and questions I had about both projects. He even listened to my input about making the deck stairs a little better and it turned out great. He did a fantastic job with my deck and back porch. A He's very knowledgeable and fair with his prices. (I needed a licensed contractor I could depend on that knew what he was doing and wouldn't over charge me or screw me over on substandard work. I've had bad experiences with that in the past with a different contractor.) I was lucky to find David on Angie's List. David did fantastic work and fixed everything I needed fixing. I'm definetly use him again.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage.
Yes, in all cases, it should be more affordable to build your own carport than it would be to hire a professional to do the work. The material costs can sometimes cost a little more through a professional because they can mark it up for delivery and procurement costs. You’ll also save hundreds or thousands on labor fees if you install your carport yourself.
Buying a pre-made carport is cheaper than building one from scratch. Pre-made carports, especially kits, often include materials and sometimes installation, with prices starting as low as $300 for basic single-vehicle models. Building a custom carport requires purchasing individual materials, ranging from $12 to $40 per square foot, depending on the type, plus labor costs if you hire a pro. Pre-made options are often more cost-effective and hassle-free for most homeowners.
A board foot is a volumetric unit and is primarily used for pricing and planning larger projects where volume is a factor. Pricing lumber by the board foot aids in understanding exactly how much wood you’re purchasing, as volume is a more accurate unit of measurement compared to square feet.
