MI Homesiding LLC
The Standard of Protection for East Tennessee Homes Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing choice in Knoxville, but not all installations are equal. At MI Homesiding LLC, we don’t just “swap” shingles. I am Mel Hernandez, and I personally ensure that your roof replacement is treated as a structural upgrade, not just a cosmetic fix.
“As a specialized roofing contractor, I provide itemized material takeoffs for every asphalt shingle project, from the number of squares to the exact amount of starter shingles and ridge vents needed. At MI Homesiding LLC, we ensure your roof is built to last with professional installation and a transparent margin.”
“We work with ABC Supply to bring you the industry’s best: GAF Timberline, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark shingles. Whether you need a standard 3-tab or a premium Architectural shingle, we use the brands that Knoxville trusts.”
Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles: The most popular choice in Knoxville for their high-end look and superior wind resistance.
3-Tab Shingles: A cost-effective, classic option for reliable protection.
Specialty Shingles: Impact-resistant options for homeowners looking for extra protection against Tennessee hail.
While big companies like Erie or Smith Roofing focus on volume, I focus on precision:
Full System Installation: We don’t just change shingles. We replace the underlayment, install proper drip edges, and ensure your attic ventilation is perfect to extend the life of your roof.
Owner-Led Inspections: I am on-site to verify the flashing around chimneys and valleys—the spots where most “fast” installers fail.
No Hidden Margins: I maintain a standard 35% profit margin for service estimates, ensuring you get high-quality subcontractor labor and premium materials at a fair, transparent price.
In Knoxville, our roofs face everything from intense humidity and summer UV rays to sudden hail and heavy snow. High-quality asphalt shingles are specifically designed to expand and contract with these temperature swings.
At MI Homesiding LLC, we recommend Architectural Shingles (also known as Dimensional Shingles) for most homeowners. Unlike traditional 3-tab shingles, these are:
Thicker and Heavier: Providing better protection against wind uplift (essential for storm-prone areas like West Knoxville).
Longer Lasting: Often carrying warranties of 30 to 50 years.
Visually Superior: They add depth and texture to your roof, immediately increasing your home’s resale value.
When I analyze your blueprints or walk your roof, I am looking for the details that other contractors ignore. A shingle roof is a system, not just a layer of tejas:
Decking Inspection: We never install new shingles over rotten wood. If we find soft spots, we replace the plywood immediately.
Ice and Water Shield: We install extra protection in “valleys” and around chimneys where water tends to pool.
High-Wind Nailing Pattern: We follow strict manufacturer guidelines to ensure your shingles stay put when the Tennessee winds pick up.
Ridge Vents: Proper airflow in your attic prevents shingles from “baking” from the inside out, saving you thousands in premature replacement costs.
As a family-run business, I operate with standard profit margin. This allows me to hire the best specialized subcontractors while keeping your costs fair.
Exact Material Count: I provide you with an itemized list—siding squares, roofing squares, bundles, and accessories.
Knoxville Pricing: My estimates are based on current local costs from suppliers like ABC Supply, so you get the most accurate bid possible.
Whether you are in Bearden, Halls, or near the University, we are your local experts for shingle roof replacement and precision repairs.

n Knoxville, we deal with high humidity, heavy spring rains, and wind. A roof is only as good as the technician installing it.
The 6-Nail Standard: While many crews use 3 or 4 nails to save time, we use a 6-nail pattern on every shingle to ensure maximum wind resistance during Tennessee storms.
Premium Underlayment: We don’t use cheap felt paper. We install high-quality synthetic underlayment that acts as a secondary waterproof barrier for your home.
Ice & Water Shield: We prioritize protection in vulnerable areas like valleys, chimneys, and skylights to prevent the leaks that most Knoxville homeowners face.
T
Total Transparency: The Itemized Material Takeoff I know that homeowners are tired of “ballpark” estimates that change halfway through the job. My process is different:
Plan Analysis: I use my experience reading blueprints to calculate the exact square footage of your roof.
Itemized Quote: You will receive a breakdown of every bundle of shingles, every roll of starter strip, and every box of nails.
Fixed Margin: I am honest about my business. My estimates include a standard margin to cover professional subcontractor labor (licensed and insured) and my personal oversight. No hidden fees.

“The roof replacement cost for asphalt shingles depends on the ‘squares’ and the shingle type. At MI Homesiding LLC, I provide an itemized material takeoff using current Knoxville pricing. You’ll see the exact cost for shingles, ridge vents, and labor with my standard margin.”
“In East Tennessee, we face strong winds. While most roofing companies use 4 nails, our 6-nail standard significantly increases wind resistance, ensuring your asphalt shingles stay attached during severe storms.”
“Yes! We specialize in roof repair and roof leak repair in Knoxville, Farragut, and Maryville. Whether it’s missing shingles or a complex leak around a chimney, we provide expert repairs to extend the life of your roof system.”
Architectural (Dimensional) shingles are thicker, last longer (30+ years), and handle high winds much better than traditional 3-tab shingles. They also significantly improve the curb value of your home in Knoxville’s competitive real estate market.
I don’t use “estimates by eye.” I perform a professional material takeoff based on your roof’s actual square footage, pitch, and complexity. You get an itemized list of every bundle, roll of underlayment, and flashing needed, with my standard 35% margin clearly factored in.
Absolutely. I can provide the precise material counts and technical reports your insurance adjuster needs to see. My goal is to ensure your roof is replaced correctly using high-quality materials from local suppliers like ABC Supply or Lansing.
