Elevated Home Improvement

Questions and answers

Estimates, permits, payment, materials and where we work.

Do you charge for estimates?

No. In-home estimates are free. Call or text (615) 766-4628 or send the quote form and we will set a time.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Crossville and work across Middle and East Tennessee, from Nashville through Cookeville to Knoxville.

How does payment work?

Unless your agreement says otherwise, payment is in three parts: 50 percent at signing, 25 percent at the midpoint and 25 percent at completion.

Do you handle permits?

We tell you whether your project needs a permit and help with the application. If you live under a homeowners association, its approval needs to be in hand before we build.

What kinds of projects do you take?

Outdoor living is our core: decks, screen rooms, motorized screens, patios and covered patios. We also remodel kitchens, baths and basements, remove popcorn ceilings and texture and paint walls.

Wood or composite: which should I choose?

Wood costs less upfront and needs sealing every few years. Composite costs more upfront and needs little more than washing. We price both so you can compare the real numbers for your deck.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

Many Tennessee towns and counties require one, especially for a deck attached to the house or raised off the ground. We check the rule for your address and help with the application.

Can you screen in my existing deck or porch?

In many cases, yes. We check that the structure can carry the roof and framing, then design the enclosure to fit.

What is the difference between a screen room and a sunroom?

A screen room has screened openings and stays open to the air. A sunroom has glass and is usually heated and cooled. Screen rooms cost less and keep the outdoor feel.

Stamped concrete or pavers?

Stamped concrete usually costs less for a large area and has no joints to weed. Pavers cost more to lay but single units can be lifted and replaced. We quote both on request.

Can you cover a patio I already have?

Yes, when the slab and site allow proper footings for the posts. We check that at the estimate.

Have a question we did not answer?

Estimates are free and done at your home. Tell us what you have in mind and we will set a time.
