MI Homesiding & Roofing
Newport roofs take a beating from heavy rain, mountain wind, humidity, and sudden storms.
Small roofing problems can turn into leaks fast. Missing shingles, bad flashing, soft decking, and poor ventilation can let water move into the home before the damage is easy to see.
That is why we do not treat roofing services as just shingles on top of a house. We inspect the full roof system: decking, flashing, underlayment, ventilation, valleys, pipe boots, roof edges, gutters, and hidden damage.
At MI Homesiding & Roofing, our goal is simple: find the cause, explain it clearly, and build roofing that can handle Newport weather.

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.”
We provide roof repair, roof replacement, shingle roofing, metal roofing, and storm damage work for homeowners in Newport and nearby Cocke County areas.
Our roofing work focuses on proper flashing, correct fastening, ventilation, water-shedding details, and long-term protection.
We do not just cover leaks. We look for why the roof failed.
Our roofing services include:
🔨 Roofing Services — Full roof system work
🛠️ Roof Repair — Leaks, shingles, flashing, and storm damage
🏠 Roof Replacement — Full tear-off and new roofing system
🔍 Roof Inspection — Full roof condition review
💧 Roof Leak Inspection — Finding where water is entering
🌧️ Storm Damage Roof Repair — Wind, hail, and rain damage

Most roofing problems in Newport start with water entry.
We often find lifted shingles, failed pipe boots, bad chimney flashing, soft decking, roof leaks, sagging areas, and roof edges that were not detailed correctly.
Mountain weather makes these problems worse. Heavy rain, wind, fog, and humidity can keep roof decking and attic spaces damp longer.
If water runs off the roof into the siding or fascia, we may also review the siding system and gutter system so the same problem does not come back.

Choosing the right roof in Newport depends on the home, roof pitch, exposure, and long-term goal.
A shaded roof near trees, an open roof on higher ground, and a low-slope section do not age the same way.
We help you choose the roof that fits your home, not just the option that is easiest to sell.
| Roofing Type | Best For | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Asphalt Shingle Roofing | Most residential homes | 20–30 yrs |
| 🔨 Shingle Repair | Small damaged areas | Depends on roof age |
| 🔥 Metal Roofing | Strong weather exposure | 40–60 yrs |
| 🌧️ Flat Roof Systems | Additions and low-slope areas | 20–30 yrs |
| ⚖️ Shingle vs Metal Roof | Homeowners comparing options | Varies |
Newport roofs face heavy rain, mountain wind, humidity, storms, and temperature swings.
A roof can look fine from the ground and still have weak flashing, poor ventilation, bad nail patterns, or soft decking underneath.
We install roofing with proper underlayment, flashing at transitions, correct fastening, ventilation, and drainage details.
When flashing is the weak point, we connect the repair with proper roof flashing repair. If the leak is near a chimney, we inspect for chimney flashing repair or roof leak around chimney.
Homeowners can also review why roofs fail in Knoxville weather because the same East Tennessee conditions affect Newport homes.


A low roofing quote in Newport often means shortcuts in places the homeowner cannot see.
Cheap roofing work may reuse old flashing, skip proper underlayment, use weak fastening, ignore ventilation, or cover soft decking instead of replacing it.
The roof can look finished on day one.
Then the next heavy rain or wind event exposes the same problem again.
Many roofing jobs we repair started as a cheap install from another contractor who never inspected the real cause. If the roof was installed wrong, the project may need bad roof installation repair or improper roof installation repair before the new system can perform correctly.

Homeowners in Newport choose MI Homesiding & Roofing because we focus on the cause, not just the visible roof damage.
We inspect roofing, flashing, decking, gutters, fascia, siding, attic ventilation, and drainage when water is involved.
If attic heat or moisture is part of the problem, we may review attic ventilation systems or roof overheating problems.
If gutter overflow is pushing water back toward the roof edge or fascia, we may also review the gutter system.
Our team personally reviews project details, material takeoffs, and repair plans before work begins.
We provide owner-led inspections, itemized estimates, root-cause repairs, clean job sites, and final walkthroughs.

We serve homeowners across Newport and nearby East Tennessee communities.
This includes Newport, Dandridge, Morristown, Sevierville, Gatlinburg, Cosby, Parrottsville, and surrounding Cocke County areas.
Whether your home is in town, near the foothills, or on a rural property, we inspect the roof’s actual exposure before recommending repair or replacement.

Yes. We provide roof repairs for leaks, missing shingles, storm damage, flashing issues, pipe boots, roof edges, and other common roofing problems.
It depends on the age of the roof, number of leaks, decking condition, and how many areas are failing. If a repair solves the real issue, we recommend repair. If the roof system is failing in multiple areas, replacement may be the better long-term choice.
Common problems include roof leaks, lifted shingles, failed flashing, soft decking, poor ventilation, storm damage, gutter overflow, and water entering around chimneys or pipe boots.
Yes. We install metal roofing and shingle roofing. Metal roofing can be a strong option for homes with higher exposure to wind, rain, and mountain weather.
If we find rotted or soft decking, we stop and document it with photos. We explain the problem and provide a written Change Order before continuing. We never cover damaged decking under new roofing.
Yes. On-site roof inspections are free for standard roofing projects in Newport. For complex inspections involving hidden damage, attic access, moisture mapping, or multiple exterior systems, we offer a $350 Technical Assessment that is credited back if you move forward with the project.

If your Newport home has roof leaks, missing shingles, storm damage, soft decking, bad flashing, or signs of moisture inside, acting early can prevent larger structural repairs later.
MI Homesiding & Roofing inspects the full roof system, finds the real cause, and builds roofing repairs and replacements designed for East Tennessee mountain weather.
