Shade that lasts

Patio Covers

A patio cover is a structure, not an accessory. Ours get real posts on real footings, a header sized for the span, and a finished ceiling instead of exposed joists and daylight. We build them two ways: insulated aluminum panel, which goes up fast and never needs paint, or custom wood with a tongue-and-groove ceiling when you want the cover to match the house. Wire it for a fan and the back deck becomes the part of the house you actually use in July.

Engineered for the span

Posts, footings and a header that carries the load. A patio cover that sags in year two was undersized on day one.

Insulated aluminum or custom wood

Aluminum panel for a clean, low-maintenance cover that goes up in days. Wood framing with a finished tongue-and-groove ceiling when you want it to look like it was always part of the house.

Finished ceilings, wired for a fan

You look up at a ceiling, not at the underside of a roof. We run the wiring for a fan and lights while the structure is open.

What we do most

Roofing

A roof is the one part of your house where the shortcuts do not show until it rains. We tear the old material off down to the deck, replace the boards that are soft, run synthetic underlayment instead of felt, and flash the chimney and the valleys properly — because that is where leaks actually start, not out in the middle of the field. We do shingle and metal, on existing homes in Knoxville and Maryville and on new structures we frame from the walls up.

Full tear-off and replacement

The old shingles come off, the deck gets inspected, and soft sheathing gets replaced before anything new goes down. Roofing over a bad deck is how a roof fails twice.

Chimneys, valleys and flashing

The details nobody photographs and everybody leaks through. Step flashing at the walls, proper counterflashing at the chimney, and valleys that shed instead of collecting.

Shingle and metal

Architectural shingle for most homes, metal when you want it to outlast you. We have done both, including complete metal roofs on new builds.

Flatwork

Concrete & Driveways

Concrete is unforgiving: you get one shot at the base and the finish, and everything after that is a repair. We prep and compact before we pour, form so the water runs off the slab instead of standing on it, and broom-finish it so it is not a skating rink when it rains. When a section has already heaved or cracked through, we take that piece out and replace it instead of patching over the problem.

Driveways and aprons

New pours and full replacements, formed with the right fall so water leaves the slab.

Sidewalks and walkways

Front walks, side paths and the connecting pieces, cut and jointed so the cracks land where we put them.

Tear-out and replacement

Broken, heaved and sunken sections removed and repoured. Patching a slab that moved just moves the crack.

Biggest change for the money

Flooring

Pulling carpet is the easy half. The half that decides how the floor looks in five years is what happens underneath: we check the subfloor, screw down what squeaks, and flatten it before a single plank goes in. Otherwise the new floor telegraphs every problem the old one was hiding. Stairs included — they are the hardest part of a floor job and the first thing anyone sees.

Carpet out, hauled off

Carpet, pad, tack strip and staples. We take it with us, so you are not left with a roll of it in the driveway.

Subfloor made flat first

Squeaks screwed down, soft spots replaced, high spots taken down. This is the step that gets skipped and the one that shows.

Stairs done right

Treads and risers are where a flooring job is won or lost. They are also the first thing a guest looks at.

Decks & Railings

Decks are where most of our photos come from, and that is not an accident: it is the work we get called back for. We build new decks and stairs, replace the ones that have gone soft, and run railings on everything from a back porch in Knoxville to a hundred feet of commercial walkway. Framing is pressure-treated and the posts go where they carry load, not where they are easy. If you need an accessible ramp with code railings, that is the same job to us.

New decks and stairs

Framed, decked and railed. Pressure-treated throughout, laid out so the boards run the way they should and the stairs land where you actually walk.

Railings that pass inspection

Height, spacing and graspable handrails. On a commercial walkway that is not optional, and on your house it is the thing that keeps somebody from going over the edge.

Accessible ramps

Ramps with proper slope and railings on both sides, for houses and for commercial entrances.

Inside work

Drywall

Most drywall complaints are not about the board, they are about the finish. We hang it, tape it, float it and sand it to the point where paint is the only thing left — not to the tape stage for somebody else to sort out. And when the job means taking a wall out first, we frame the header, set it, and board it back the same week.

Hung, taped, floated, sanded

Finished ready for primer. A wall that looks flat under a work light still shows every seam once the paint is on.

Walls opened and reframed

Opening a kitchen into a living room is a framing job before it is a finish job. We size and set the header so what is above it stays put.

Patches and water damage

A leak that got fixed still leaves a hole. We cut it back to solid, reframe if the studs are gone, and blend the finish.

For builders

Framing & Dry-In

This is the part of the business most people do not know about: we frame houses. Builders and general contractors across East Tennessee bring us in to stand the walls, set the trusses, sheathe and dry in — whole houses, subdivision after subdivision. The gallery below is all of it. If you are a builder who needs a framing crew that shows up and keeps the schedule, that is the call to make.

Foundation and framing

Block foundations laid, walls framed and stood, floor systems set. The part of a house nobody sees and everything else depends on.

Trusses and roof structure

Trusses set and braced, roof decked and dried in fast. Getting a house under roof before the weather turns is half of keeping a build on schedule.

Dried in and ready for trades

Sheathing, house wrap, windows and doors in, roof on. The house is sealed up so the inside work can start.

Screen Rooms work in Knoxville, Tennessee
Built to order

Screen Rooms

A screen room is the back porch you actually sit on. Same structure as a patio cover — posts, footings, a header sized for the span and a finished ceiling — then closed in with screen panels and a door. We build them over an existing concrete slab, over a deck, or on a new slab we pour first. And if you decide later that you want to use the room in January too, the windows go in without starting over: that is the same room, finished as a sunroom.

Over a slab, a deck, or a new pour

If the concrete is already there we build on it. If it is not, we pour it — same crew, so nobody is waiting on anybody.

Screen panels and a real door

Framed panels in an aluminum system, not screen stapled to wood. The door closes and latches like a door instead of swinging in the wind.

Fixed or motorized

Fixed screen for a room you leave open all season, or motorized screens you drop when you want them and roll up when you do not.
