\u201cThere\u2019s been a noticeable exodus of experienced tradesmen, and far too few stepping in to fill this gap,\u201d Norman said. \u201cThe next generation of builders will be in high demand \u2014 and with that comes both opportunity and responsibility. I hope my sons, and their peers, bring a renewed commitment to quality, work ethic, and innovation that honors the foundation while shaping the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When troubles arise, as they do for all of us, Norman often says, \u201cThe problem isn\u2019t the problem. The problem is the attitude about the problem. That mindset can make the difference between failure and success in both work and life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because Norman uses a hands-on approach with Tristan as they work side by side, he often gets to witness the \u201clightbulb moment\u201d described by teachers. \u201cI\u2019m especially proud when I see him break down complex problems into manageable pieces and tackle them one step at a time. That ability to think critically and methodically is a sign he\u2019s not just learning tasks \u2014 he\u2019s learning leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tristan loves apprenticing alongside his dad. Working with his hands, such as when he and his brother Kendall helped build a screened porch at their home, makes him feel fulfilled. He\u2019s excited about his future and the chance to prove he\u2019s trustworthy and reliable like his dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to be someone the next generation can look up to \u2014 someone you want to complete your job. I feel privileged to provide homes for people locally. I think it builds a good relationship in the process, and I am honored to do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though some may find it a challenge to work alongside a family member, Tristan said, \u201cWe work together well simply because we understand each other and already know what the next move is even without talking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Eicher family and Mountain View Construction are grounded in more than materials and measurements \u2014 it\u2019s about connection. Their commitment to craftsmanship reflects a broader philosophy of service, respect, and pride in shaping the spaces their neighbors call home. Every project they complete demonstrates their attention to detail, integrity, and strong work ethic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dream it, draw it on paper, or describe it in detail; Mountain View can bring it to life. When it comes to utility sheds and mini barns, they offer simple models to deluxe cabins with covered porches. Buildings are handcrafted inside their local warehouse. They offer rent-to-own options to make quality craftsmanship accessible, as well as free delivery and setup within 35 miles, which reflects their dedication to superior service and convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their website offers a 3D Builder tool where your ideal mini barn comes to life. Simply choose the type of exterior siding, paint color, roof pitch type you prefer, and size. Do you dream of window boxes and shutters, or need the ease of a ramp for your heavy equipment or tractor? How about a workbench, custom shelving, or a counter-height table for potting your flowers? Professionally trained carpenters \u2014 like Tristan \u2014 take your design from a dream to done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to the company\u2019s future, Nor- man said, \u201cMy youngest son, Kendall, has recently joined us at Mountain View. It\u2019s a blessing to have both of my sons involved and growing into their roles within the company.\u201d GN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information, check out: www.mtviewllc.com.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n FOR THE last 17 years, Tristan Eicher has looked up to his dad, Norman, who owns Mountain View on David Crockett Highway in Belvidere. Though the business has expanded to seven locations in Tennessee and North Alabama, when it comes to teaching his sons, Norman is never too busy. \u201cMy approach has always been hands-on […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":24295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cover"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/Story-1-photo1-6-1024x683.jpg\")
