MI Homesiding & Roofing
Roof replacement, repair, and rot correction for Luttrell homes — rural Union County, bigger lots, older houses.
Luttrell is rural Union County: bigger lots, older houses, and a lot of exposed wood that was never meant to go this long between coats.
Roofs here tend to be simpler than in the subdivisions closer to Knoxville — fewer gables, fewer valleys, less complexity. That is good news for the price and bad news for the assumption that a simple roof needs less attention. On a rural property the roof is often the only thing between a house and weather that arrives without any windbreak, and the nearest contractor is not around the corner.
The other factor is access. Long driveways, gravel, and properties where getting a dumpster and a materials truck to the house takes planning. We account for that in the estimate rather than discovering it on the first day.

Mel and his team were extremely thorough in identifying and correcting a water leakage problem from the top of our deck into the enclosed sun room below. They were both professional and courteous and provided great follow up after the job was completed. I highly recommend MI Homesiding & Roofing for any problem that involves water leakage into your home. I will definitely use MI in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Highly recommend MI Homesiding! They completed a major home exterior project for us including replacing and painting our siding as well as replacing our roofing and gutters. They did an excellent job and we began getting compliments immediately from our neighbors about it! Mel was very communicative and proactive, listened to our questions and ideas, and took care of things in a timely manner. His team was always professional and the work is just superb! We not only recommend MI Homesiding, we will be using them again for future projects ourselves.Posted on Google![]()

I found MI Homesiding & Roofing through their YouTube channel and called with a few questions about siding. Even though I’m not located in Tennessee and wouldn’t be hiring them directly, they answered the phone right away and took the time to answer every question in detail. They provided specific, helpful information and even assisted me in finding a contractor in my area. It’s rare to find a company so willing to help someone who isn’t even a local customer. Awesome people, excellent service, and truly knowledgeable. Thank you so much!Posted on Google![]()

TRUE REVIEWSTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We are very happy with MI Homesiding's workmanship and dedication to achieve the best results for our Hardyboard residing. Mel answered our calls promptly; addressing and tending to any question we had. As with any home renovation, we ran into minor issues when we removed the siding the flashing was old and damaged. MI siding was more than happy to give us a fair estimate and replace the flashing to the siding. Porta-potty & dumpster were dropped off immediately prior to process, and removed with equal precision. Workers were diligent maintaining a safe & clean work area; cleaning remnant debris on last day. We recommended MI to our neighbors, and are having them back to caulk & paint. They did an excellent job at a fair price.Posted on Google![]()

MI Home Siding LLC did an excellent job on my home. Mel Hernandez and his crew worked on my siding, roofing, gutters, and exterior painting. They showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work as promised. The quality of the work was great, and they treated my home with care and respect. I really appreciated their honesty and communication throughout the project. I highly recommend MI Home Siding LLC to anyone looking for exterior work in Knoxville.”
Luttrell is a rural community rather than a set of subdivisions, so we work by road and corridor.
The center of town and the streets around it.
Older housing on smaller lots, much of it with original painted wood trim and roof lines that have been added to over the years. Every addition is a transition, and transitions are where roofs leak.
The main corridor through the area.
A mix of ages along its length, from older farmhouses to newer construction, on properties that vary widely in size and access. Condition here is a per-property question, not a per-road one.
Higher ground with more exposure.
Roofs here take wind that properties in the hollows do not, and fastening matters more as a result. The ridge and the rake edge are the first places that shows. Our guide on how long a roof lasts in Tennessee covers what shortens that number.
Valley properties with the drainage patterns that come with them.
Water off the ridge has to go somewhere, and on these lots it usually goes past the house. Where the downspouts discharge matters as much as the gutter itself.
Hollow properties, more sheltered from wind.
Heavier tree cover and the debris load that brings. Valleys and gutters need more attention here than exposure does, and a valley that holds debris holds water.
Rural properties on larger acreage.
Access and staging are real considerations on jobs out here, and they belong on the estimate rather than turning into a change order on the first morning.
The corridors connecting Luttrell to Corryton and the rest of Union County.
Mixed housing ages, mixed exposure, and properties spread far enough apart that scheduling matters as much as the work does.
Most roofing companies will not put a price on a page. We will. These are the ranges we quote in Luttrell, priced by roof size in squares — one square is 100 square feet of roof surface.
| Roof Size | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| 20 SQ (2,000 sq ft roof) | $9,500 – $13,500 |
| 25 SQ (2,500 sq ft roof) | $12,000 – $17,000 |
| 30 SQ (3,000 sq ft roof) | $14,500 – $20,000 |
| 35 SQ (3,500 sq ft roof) | $17,000 – $23,500 |
| 40 SQ (4,000 sq ft roof) | $19,000 – $27,000 |
On-site estimates are free for standard roof replacements. For complex inspections — active leaks, previous repair work, or conditions we cannot verify from the ground — we charge $350, credited back in full if you move forward.
We ask 33% at signing to cover materials. The rest is tied to progress on the job. Never half up front.
📞 (865) 243-1243Rural roofing has two variables that suburban roofing does not: exposure without a windbreak, and access.
On a Union County property with open ground around it, a roof takes wind that a house in a subdivision never sees, because there are no neighboring structures to break it up. Fastening patterns written for a sheltered lot are not enough, and the first place that shows is the ridge and the edges.
Access is the other half. A long gravel drive changes how material gets to the house and how debris gets off the property. That is a real cost, and a contractor who does not account for it either eats it or finds a way to make it up somewhere else on the job. When wind is the cause of the damage rather than age, that is storm damage roof repair.
We state both on the estimate rather than discovering them on the first morning.
The shortcut on a rural roof is standard fastening on an exposed lot.
It is not visible, it is not something a homeowner can check, and it saves real time across a whole roof. On a sheltered property it holds. On open ground in Union County it lifts, usually at the ridge and along the rake edge, and usually after the first storm with real wind behind it.
The second shortcut is a price that did not account for access, which turns into a change order on day one for something the contractor could see from the road.
We spec fastening to the exposure and we price the access before we start.
If structural rot, damaged decking, or compromised framing is discovered during tear-off, we stop and document it with photos. We explain what we found and why it matters, then provide a written Change Order before moving forward.
We never cover hidden damage with new work.
We walk the roof and check the attic. Deck condition, ventilation, flashing at every transition, and any evidence of previous repair work. On rural properties the access and staging are assessed at the same visit, so the haul-off is priced before the job starts rather than after.
Itemized by tear-off, underlayment, shingle, flashing, ventilation, and decking allowance. You see what each line costs.
Old material comes off and the deck gets inspected before anything new goes down. Decking replacement is priced by the sheet.
Underlayment, starter, drip edge, field, ridge cap, pipe boots, collars, and flashing at every penetration and transition.
Sized to the attic, not to what was there before. Old vents are removed or closed as the new system requires.
Site cleared, magnet run, and a final walkthrough before we leave.
Our team has been working exteriors in East Tennessee since 2004, and roofing sits alongside the siding, carpentry and gutter work that connects to it. On rural property that matters, because one trip that covers the roof, the trim and the drainage is worth more out here than three separate ones.

We also cover the rest of the exterior in Luttrell: roofing, windows, decks and exterior painting.
We serve Luttrell and the surrounding communities across Union County and north Knox County, working within a 40-mile radius of Knoxville.
Most full replacements land between $9,500 and $27,000, depending on roof size and pitch. Luttrell roofs tend to be simpler than subdivision roofs of the same square footage, which usually puts them in the lower half of that range. The full table is above.
Access and haul-off distance are part of the estimate, stated as their own line rather than buried in the price or added later as a change order. On most Luttrell properties it is a small figure; on a long gravel drive it is not, and you should know which before you sign.
Usually yes, because complexity is where the labor goes. What it does not mean is that it needs less attention: on open ground the fastening and the edges matter more than they would on a sheltered lot.
Yes. We document the damage with photos, provide the written scope, and work with the adjuster through the claim.
We stop, photograph it, and issue a written Change Order priced by the sheet before continuing. On older rural housing some decking replacement is normal.
No. We ask 33% at signing, which covers materials, and the rest is tied to progress on the job.
Whether the house is on Tazewell Pike or at the end of a gravel drive off Wolfenbarger Road, the estimate says what the access costs before the work starts.
