Transforming a Sunroom: From Outdated to Modern Comfort
There’s nothing quite like having a sunroom to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while still being protected from the elements. However, when a sunroom has outdated windows that let in drafts and limit functionality, it can become an underutilized space rather than a relaxing retreat. That’s exactly what our latest project aimed to change! […]

Best Belgard Artform Project, Southeast USA
We just got back from this year’s Belgard conference in Chattanooga. It was a fantastic couple of days filled with learning about new products, techniques, and innovative ways to create stunning hardscape designs. I also realized that I never shared this picture from last year. Our hardscape crew won the Belgard Award for Best Artforms […]
Composite Deck and Cable Railing Build in Dandridge, TN
We got to build this beautiful deck overlooking the lake in Dandridge for a family that recently moved to the area from Michigan. They are looking forward to their summers on the lake and wanted a space that would allow them to spend as much time outside as possible. It was also important to them […]
Cantilever Deck Addition | Knoxville Project
This was a quick (semi-quick) rebuild of an existing cantilever deck. Some of the existing framing was in okay condition and some was completely rotted. We removed the rotted material and ran our new joists back into the existing framing of the house. Everything got covered in joist tape and then we finished up with […]
Deck Stringer and Stair Work In Clinton, TN
Stringer, stringers and more stringers… We’ve made some great progress this week on the deck for this beautiful outdoor living space designed by our friends over at Carex Design Group. The deck has stairs around the perimeter which will create a fully unobstructed view of the lake and the woods at the back of their […]
Tongue and Groove Open Beam Pavilion Ceiling
I love the open structure of this stick built pavilion roof we built to house an outdoor kitchen on the pool deck of a client. We used 2×12″ for the beams and 2×10″ for the rafters. It’s decked with 1/2″ tongue and groove, leaving everything open so you can see the beauty of the exposed […]
Updated Playground For Kids and Adults
We loved getting to build this project. We built a paver patio under a pergola to create a new patio spot for dinner. We built a new walk way to the pool. We built new stairs to the screened in deck. We built a new playground area with rubber mulch. Fun fact… rubber mulch installed […]
Cantilever Porch For Morning Coffee
We’re wrapping up a small porch on the front of this customer’s house in Knoxville, TN. It’s a small space but makes a great spot for them to enjoy the morning sunrises. For this porch, we doubled up 2x10s that extended into the framing of the house, taped the joists to prevent water damage and […]
Building Stairs With Concrete
I love the process of building with concrete. You have to visualize what you want to build and then build the inverse… Or, in other words, build the opposite of what you want to create. Form boards always look like a bit of a crazy mess until you tear them away and reveal the finished […]
