3. Expert color matching — We match the existing exterior color as closely as possible.
4. Premium priming — Exposed wood is sealed with high-quality primer to stop moisture absorption.

Repair vs Full Repaint
If full repainting is the better long-term solution, we'll explain why. Honest guidance based on your home's actual condition.
| Condition | Best Solution |
|---|---|
| Peeling paint on 1-2 walls | Paint repair + touch-up |
| Exposed wood or trim damage | Paint repair with wood sealing |
| Fading on south side only | Targeted repaint |
| Peeling on 3+ walls | Full exterior repainting |
| Underlying siding damage | Siding repair first, then paint |
Why We Check the Full Wall System
Paint doesn't fail on its own. It usually fails because something underneath is failing — rot, moisture behind siding, failed flashing.
During every paint repair inspection, we also check your siding and trim. If the paint is peeling because the siding is damaged or rotting, we identify the root cause.
That's why we handle siding repair, water behind siding, and rotted siding repair as part of the same visit.
Hidden Damage Policy
- 01If hidden rot, damaged sheathing, framing issues, or moisture damage are discovered during the project, we stop and document with photos.
- 02We provide a written Change Order before moving forward.
- 03Hidden damage is documented and priced in a written Change Order before fresh paint goes over it.

What a Paint Repair Estimate Covers
A repair is scoped from the cause, not the blemish. Peeling, blistering and bubbling are symptoms, and the right repair depends on which one it is and what is behind it.
Our written estimate names the affected area and its substrate, what the preparation involves — scraping back to a sound edge, feathering, spot priming — any wood repair found underneath, the product and coats, and how the repair will be blended into the surrounding finish. Where an exact match is not achievable we say so before the work rather than afterwards.
Where the failure is widespread rather than local, a repair buys a season. We will tell you when that is the case.

Our Painting Workmanship Warranty
MI Homesiding & Roofing provides a 5-year limited workmanship warranty on qualifying painting work. That is our labor — the preparation and the application — and it is ours, not the manufacturer’s.
Keeping the two apart matters, because they cover different things and most quotes blur them into one reassuring sentence:
- Our workmanship warranty covers how the work was done: how the surface was prepared and how the coating was applied. Five years, on qualifying painting work.
- The manufacturer’s product warranty covers the coating itself, for peeling or blistering, and it excludes labor in writing. Its coverage is set per product and its terms are the manufacturer’s, not ours.
So Sherwin-Williams does not cover our labor, and we do not cover the paint. We will not call our warranty “lifetime” — it is five years — and we will not hand you a manufacturer’s document and let you read it as ours.

FAQs – Paint Repair in Knoxville, TN
Can you match my existing exterior paint color?
Yes. We use professional color matching to blend new work into the existing finish as closely as possible.
Is paint repair cheaper than a full repaint?
Usually yes, if the damage is limited to 1-2 walls or specific problem areas. For widespread peeling or fading, a full repaint is often more cost-effective long-term.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. On-site paint repair estimates are free for standard projects. For complex inspections involving suspected hidden damage or larger areas, we offer a $350 Technical Assessment that is credited back if you move forward.
Are you BBB Accredited?
Yes. MI Homesiding & Roofing is a BBB Accredited Business and holds Tennessee Home Improvement Contractor License #13334 and City of Knoxville Building Contractor License #BC13334.
What happens if you find rot or damage under the paint?
We stop, document with photos, and provide a written Change Order before continuing. Hidden damage is documented and priced in a written Change Order before new paint goes over it.
Do you coordinate paint repair with other exterior work?
Yes. Paint touch-ups after siding repair, trim replacement, gutter work, or storm damage repair are common. Siding, flashing, trim, sealant and paint are parts of one exterior system, and most of the failures we get called out to look at happened at the handoff between trades rather than inside any one of them. One team means better coordination.
