MI Homesiding & Roofing
Sherwin-Williams Certified Contractor — built for East Tennessee humidity, UV, and seasonal weather.
Knoxville’s humidity and intense sun are hard on exterior paint.
Most paint failures we inspect trace back to poor surface prep, not the paint itself. That’s why we don’t rush prep — cleaning, scraping, sanding, and priming decide whether a paint job lasts three years or twelve.
For localized repairs and touch-ups, see our paint repair page.

Deck & Fence Staining
Outdoor wood takes the worst of Knoxville’s rain, humidity, and UV exposure. Without proper staining, it grays, cracks, and rots fast.
We use Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck and premium oil sealants built to protect against water intrusion and sun damage.
If your deck shows soft boards or structural concerns during staining, see our deck repair options before refinishing.

The most common shortcut is skipping prep. Paint applied over dirt, mildew, or chalking siding fails within a season.
The second is using cheap, low-grade paint not rated for exterior exposure — it fades and peels fast under Knoxville sun.
The third is skipping primer on bare or repaired wood, which leads to early peeling at the exact spots that needed the most protection.
Cheap installs = repaint every 3 years. Proper prep = 10-12 years.
Our Painting Process
1. On-site inspection — Check for rot, failed caulking, moisture damage, and prep needs before quoting.
2. Surface cleaning — Pressure wash, remove mildew, clean chalking.
3. Scrape, sand & prime — Bare wood sealed with Sherwin-Williams primer.
4. Color selection — Guidance for neutral tones or bold accents that fit your home and neighborhood.
5. Premium paint application — Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint or Emerald, applied with proper coverage.
6. Final walkthrough — Owner-led inspection at the end of the project.
Hidden Damage Policy
If rotted wood, failed caulking, moisture damage, or damaged sheathing is discovered during surface prep, we stop and document with photos.
We provide a written Change Order before painting continues.
We never paint over rotted or damaged surfaces.
