Ooltewah Picture Frame Hardwood Floor

This is a hardwood floor from a house in Hamilton on Hunter North in Ooltewah. It is made of Kemp hardwood with a cherry finish. The grain and tint of the wood makes the cherry in the finish vary with great results . This particular floor was seen on HGTV's "Secrets that Sell" in October of 2007.

Ooltewah Deck

A new construction deck with the dimensions of 15' X 40'. This was a special job for me mostly because my father was in town and he lent me a hand in building it. I am a 3rd generation builder and Dad spent the day telling me about some of the houses that he helped my grandfather build. Because Dad has been mostly on the commercial side of building, he hasn't been on the labor part of building anything for a number of years. So it was a treat for me to get to boss him around for a change.

Ooltewah Picture Frame Hardwood

A picture frame hardwood floor in a new construction home in the Georgetown Landing subdivision in Ooltewah. The corners ended up at full 90 degrees with a turned rug pattern inside the picture frame. This was an install of pre-finished hardwood and I think it turned out great.

Hixson Hardwood Floor

An 1100 square foot 1&3/4 inch White Oak floor. The homeowner wanted to keep the floor continuous, which turned out to be a great idea. It gave the house a great flow and the floor turned out beautiful. The house had 5 rooms, 2 hallways, and an entrance way that all got hardwood. Keeping these rooms straight and even is a great challenge because it is rare that all the walls in this many rooms are at correct angles with each other. Set-up is absolutely key and took 1/2 a day in itself. In the end though, we spent less time by setting it up right than we would of trying to cover up framer's mistakes.

East Ridge Deck Remodel

This was a deck remodel on a 95 year old house in East Ridge Tennessee. The original decking boards were tongue and groove. They didn't allow any moisture to pass through so any time it rained the water would sit and rot the boards. However, underneath the decking, the framing was in pretty good shape. We were able to re-deck the porch with minimal re-framing underneath. This kept the cost at a minimum and allowed us to get a good look at some century old framing. As a contractor it was a treat to get to see 95 year old framing. The floor joists would shrink in size from right to left which I thought was odd, until I discovered it was just cut logs. Here are a few pics.
