Delivering exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service to every project we handle.
MI Homesiding LLC
Upgrade your home with the #1 siding brand in America, installed by Knoxville’s local experts. At MI Homesiding LLC, we specialize in James Hardie fiber cement siding, offering Knoxville homeowners a durable, fire-resistant, and low-maintenance alternative to vinyl and wood.
While big corporations treat you like a number and often send inexperienced subcontractors, Mel Hernandez provides a personalized, owner-led installation. I ensure every board is installed according to the strict James Hardie manual so your 30-year manufacturer warranty remains fully protected.
The East Tennessee climate—with its high humidity, sudden storms, and temperature swings—demands siding that won’t rot or warp. James Hardie products are Engineered for Climate®, and we install them to perfection.
ColorPlus® Technology: A baked-on finish that resists fading, chipping, and cracking better than any field-applied paint.
Unmatched Durability: Resistant to moisture, rot, pests, and even fire (Non-combustible).
The “16-Inch Rule” & Flashing: We don’t skip the details. I personally ensure every panel is nailed into the studs every 16 inches and that all joints have proper aluminum flashing. Without this, your Hardie board will eventually fail—at MI Homesiding, we do it right the first time.
What makes us different from other siding companies in Knoxville? We believe in total transparency.
Itemized Material Takeoffs: Unlike competitors who give a single “lump sum” price, I provide an exact breakdown of siding squares, trim, house wrap, and nails. You pay for exactly what your home needs based on professional plan analysis.
Strict Warranty Compliance: Most Hardie failures are due to poor installation. We follow the manual for fastener placement and clearance gaps, guaranteeing your 30-year limited warranty.
Owner-Operated Trust: I am a family-run contractor. I answer the phone, I visit your home, and I don’t require large, sketchy deposits to start. My reputation in Knoxville depends on your satisfaction.
Local & Family-Owned: Based at 1210 Army St, we are your neighbors. We don’t leave until the daily cleanup is perfect and you are 100% satisfied.”
HardiePlank® Lap Siding: The most popular choice for a traditional, timeless look.
HardiePanel® Vertical Siding: Perfect for modern farmhouses and making your home stand out.
HardieTrim® Boards: The finishing touch for corners, windows, and doors.
Siding Repair & Replacement: Complete exterior transformations or targeted storm damage repair.
Don’t settle for a vague quote. Get a professional siding takeoff and a fair price from Knoxville’s trusted family contractor.”

Yes, while vinyl is cost-effective, James Hardie fiber cement is engineered specifically for climates like Knoxville’s. It withstands high humidity and sudden temperature swings without warping or melting.
Absolutely. Fiber cement siding consistently offers one of the highest returns on investment (ROI) for home remodeling projects in the Southeast.
The warranty is only valid if the installation follows the “Hardie Installation Best Practices” manual. At MI Homesiding LLC, I personally oversee every project to ensure we meet all technical requirements, including fastener spacing and clearance gaps.
Yes. I specialize in reading blueprints and project plans to provide an exact material takeoff. You will receive an itemized breakdown of siding squares, trim, and accessories so there are no “hidden costs”.
HardiePlank is the traditional horizontal lap siding, while HardiePanel consists of vertical sheets, often used for the “Modern Farmhouse” look popular in Knoxville neighborhoods.
Prices vary based on the project’s complexity. However, I provide transparent estimates with a standard margin, ensuring you get premium subcontractor labor and high-quality materials from ABC or Lansing.
