MI Homesiding LLC
Upgrade your home with a roof that lasts a lifetime. Metal roofing is becoming the top choice for homeowners in East Tennessee who want superior protection, energy efficiency, and modern curb appeal. At MI Homesiding LLC, we provide professional installation of high-quality metal roofing systems built to withstand 120 mph winds and heavy storms.
I am Mel Hernandez. Unlike the “big box” companies, I personally handle your project’s technical takeoff. I analyze your blueprints to calculate exactly how many squares and trim pieces (ridge caps, drip edges, valleys) your home needs. You get a transparent, itemized estimate based on my standard profit margin—you pay for expert labor and premium materials, nothing else.
Unmatched Durability: A properly installed metal roof can last 40-70 years, far outperforming traditional asphalt shingles.
Energy Efficiency: Metal reflects solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by up to 25% during our hot Knoxville summers.
Extreme Weather Protection: Our metal systems are fire-resistant and designed to handle the heavy hail and wind common in Knox County.
We work with top-tier materials from local suppliers like True Metal Supply and Best Buy Metals to offer:
Standing Seam Metal Roofs: The gold standard in metal roofing. With concealed fasteners, this system offers a sleek look and the best leak protection available.
Ribbed (Tuff-Rib) Panels: A durable and more budget-friendly metal option that provides a classic “farmhouse” or industrial look.
Stone-Coated Steel: For homeowners who want the strength of metal with the traditional look of shingles or tile.
A metal roof is only as good as its installer. Because metal expands and contracts, precision is everything:
Proper Underlayment: We use high-temperature synthetic underlayment to provide a secondary waterproof barrier.
Precision Flashing: We pay extra attention to chimneys, pipe boots, and valleys where most metal roofs fail if not handled by a pro.
Accountable Craftsmanship: As a family-run business, I oversee the subcontractors to ensure every screw is driven straight and every panel is aligned perfectly.

“For flat systems, we offer TPO roofing and EPDM rubber roofing for maximum leak protection.”
Actually, no. When installed with high-quality solid sheathing and the synthetic underlayment we use at MI Homesiding LLC, a metal roof is just as quiet as an asphalt shingle roof during our East Tennessee rainstorms.
It’s the opposite. Metal reflects solar heat rather than absorbing it like shingles. This “cool roof” effect can reduce your cooling costs in Knoxville by up to 25%.
In many cases, yes, which can save you money on tear-off costs. However, I always perform a thorough inspection first to ensure your roof deck is structurally sound and free of rot.
has hidden fasteners (screws), which offers the best leak protection and a modern look. Ribbed panels (like Tuff-Rib) have exposed fasteners and are a more budget-friendly way to get the durability of metal.
This is a common myth. Metal is no more likely to be struck by lightning than any other material. In fact, because it is non-combustible, it is actually safer in the event of a strike.
I provide a professional itemized takeoff based on your blueprints or exact roof measurements. You’ll see the exact cost of panels, ridge caps, and drip edges, along with my standard margin for expert labor.
“The metal roof cost or metal roofing prices depend on the system (Standing Seam vs. Ribbed). At MI Homesiding LLC, we provide a detailed itemized takeoff so you see the exact cost of panels and trim. While the initial investment is higher than shingles, a steel roofing system is a lifetime solution.”
