Siding Contractor in Farragut, TN
Siding replacement, repair, and vinyl-to-Hardie conversions for Farragut homes — from the 1980s subdivisions to the new builds off Boyd Station.
The siding question in Farragut depends entirely on when the subdivision went in.
Homes from the 1979–1991 wave — Woodchase, Concord Hills, Sweet Briar, Brixworth — are past the point where their original exterior can be maintained economically. Vinyl from that era has faded and gone brittle, wood trim has been caulked and repainted more times than it should have been, and the flashing details behind it were done to a different standard.
Homes from the 2020s wave — Ivey Farms, Meadows on McFee, The Grove at Boyd Station, Old Stage Farms — have decades left in the cladding. What matters on those is whether the wall behind it was assembled correctly: house wrap laps, window head flashing, and the transitions where brick meets siding.
Both jobs are about the wall, not the panel. That is the part that decides whether an exterior lasts five years or twenty-five. This page is part of our Farragut exterior services; for the roof see our Farragut roofing page.

FARRAGUT, 37922 AND 37934
Farragut Neighborhoods We Serve
What the exterior needs in Farragut tracks the decade the house was built. Here is the breakdown.
Woodchase
Woodchase is mostly 1979 to 1987 construction, which puts the original siding at nearly forty years old.
Exteriors that age are usually a replacement conversation rather than a repair one. Vinyl from that era has lost its color and its flexibility, and the wood trim underneath has often been carrying moisture for years behind failed caulk joints. We look at the sheathing before recommending anything.
Concord Hills
Concord Hills is primarily 1980s, with homes going back to 1980 and 1982.
The detail worth checking on houses this age is where brick meets siding on the gable ends. That joint needs proper Z-flashing, and on 1980s construction it frequently either was not installed or has failed. Water that gets in there ends up in the wall, not on the surface, so nothing shows until the sheathing is soft. That is the mechanism behind most water behind siding problems.
Sweet Briar
Sweet Briar developed through the mid-1980s with later phases around 1990.
The five-year spread across the subdivision matters more than it sounds. Building practice changed in that window, so two houses on the same street can have different wall assemblies behind identical-looking siding. We inspect per house rather than per neighborhood.
Brixworth
Brixworth was developed in 1991 and the homes are largely 1990s.
Thirty-year-old vinyl is at the point where a repair is putting a new panel next to a faded one. Most Brixworth owners we talk to are weighing a full replacement, and the real question is which material — vinyl again, engineered wood, or fiber cement. Our guide to the best siding for the Tennessee climate compares them.
Ivey Farms
Ivey Farms started around 2020 and homes are still being built there, with new permits issued through 2026.
The cladding on construction this recent has decades left. What is worth verifying is the wall behind it: house wrap lapped in the right direction, flashing over window and door heads, and the transitions where the siding meets brick, roof, or a change in plane.
Meadows on McFee
Meadows on McFee is largely 2022 construction.
Two to five years is the window where a missed detail during the build starts moving water and is still cheap to correct. If there is caulk doing the job flashing should be doing, this is when to find out.
The Grove at Boyd Station
The Grove at Boyd Station was approved in 2021 with homes built 2024 through 2026.
New enough that the useful work is documentation — knowing what was installed, what the manufacturer warranty requires for it to stay valid, and what the builder’s warranty still covers before it runs out.
Old Stage Farms
Old Stage Farms is mostly 2022 to 2024 construction.
Same window and same advice as Meadows on McFee: verify the flashing and the wall assembly while a correction is still a small job rather than a wall repair.
We also work throughout Village Green, Fox Den, Woodland Trace, Chapel Glen, Farragut View, Berkeley Park, Baldwin Park, Sheffield, Sugarwood, Wentworth, Saddle Ridge, Brass Lantern, Bridgewater, Farragut Crossing, Fort West, Rockwell Farm and The Cove at Turkey Creek — across 37922 and 37934.
SIDING REPLACEMENT COST IN FARRAGUT, TN
Real numbers, published.
Most contractors will not put pricing on a page. We will. These ranges are priced by wall area, because that is what actually drives the number.
| Wall Area | Vinyl | Engineered Wood | James Hardie |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 sq ft | $15,000 – $18,000 | $20,000 – $25,000 | $25,000 – $30,000 |
| 2,500 sq ft | $18,000 – $22,000 | $25,000 – $31,000 | $31,000 – $37,000 |
| 3,000 sq ft | $22,000 – $26,000 | $30,000 – $37,000 | $38,000 – $45,000 |
Farragut homes tend to run larger than the county average, so most land in the 2,500 to 3,000 square foot wall area rows. Wall area is not house square footage — a 2,000 square foot home usually has between 1,800 and 2,400 square feet of exterior wall, depending on stories and shape.
If a quote comes in far below these ranges, ask what is being left out — house wrap, flashing, trim, or the rot underneath. Hidden wall damage found during tear-off is handled by written Change Order, never absorbed silently into the finish.

📞 (865) 243-1243WHAT MAKES A FARRAGUT EXTERIOR DIFFERENT
Built for Farragut Exteriors
Farragut homes carry more exterior detail than the county average — more gables, more changes in plane, more brick-to-siding transitions, and more window and door openings per wall.
Every one of those is a place the wall assembly has to be built correctly rather than simply covered. The gable ends where brick stops and siding starts need Z-flashing. The window heads need flashing over the trim, not caulk under it. The transitions where a roof line dies into a wall need kick-out flashing to send water into the gutter instead of behind the cladding.
On a simple box of a house you can get away with skipping one of those. On a Farragut elevation with eight of them, one shortcut is enough.
We price the wall detail with the siding, because on these houses that is most of the labor.
THE SHORTCUT THAT COSTS THE MOST
Why Cheap Siding Work Fails in Farragut
The shortcut on a Farragut siding job is almost always at the brick line.
Where brick meets siding on a gable end, the joint needs Z-flashing set behind the cladding and lapped correctly. It takes time, it is invisible when finished, and nobody inspecting the job from the driveway can tell whether it was done. So on a low bid, it is the first thing to go — replaced with a bead of caulk that looks identical on day one.
Caulk is a maintenance item with a service life measured in a few years. Flashing is a permanent detail. When the caulk fails, water enters at the top of the siding and runs down the inside of the wall, and the first visible sign is a soft spot in the trim or a stain on an interior ceiling, usually two to three years later.
We replace that joint with proper Z-flashing when we find it, remove and reinstall the siding needed to get access, and touch up the paint to match. It is a real line item on our estimates and it is one of the more common repairs we do in Farragut.
Hidden Damage Policy
If structural rot, hidden water damage, or compromised framing is discovered during the project, we stop and document the problem with photos. We explain what we found and why it matters, then provide a written Change Order before moving forward.
Hidden damage is documented and priced in a written Change Order before new siding goes over it.
MATERIALS
Which Siding Fits a Farragut Home
James Hardie fiber cement
Backed by a 30-year limited non-prorated warranty, best fire and pest resistance, holds up to East Tennessee humidity better than anything else we install. Highest cost up front and the strongest return at resale. Where the budget allows, this is what we usually recommend here.
LP SmartSide engineered wood
Covered by LP's 5/50 limited warranty, lighter to work with, easier on framing that is already stressed. Real wood texture at a lower cost than fiber cement.
Vinyl
Lowest cost and lowest maintenance. The trade-off is impact resistance and resale value. If you go vinyl, the wall prep underneath matters more, not less, because vinyl hides problems well.
We install all three. The right answer depends on the house, the exposure, and how long you plan to be in it.

Working With Us in Farragut: Estimate, Schedule and Warranty
A number of neighborhoods here carry HOA requirements on siding color and material, which is worth settling before anything is ordered.
What the written estimate itemizes. Square footage by elevation, the product line and profile by name, the weather-resistive barrier, flashing at every opening and transition, trim, fasteners, caulking and finish, an allowance for sheathing repair, and removal and disposal of the existing cladding. Where two siding quotes differ sharply, the gap is almost always in the barrier, the flashing and the sheathing allowance.
How long it takes. A typical full siding replacement may take about one to two weeks of working time, depending on home size, material, weather, access, hidden damage and project scope. That is an expectation rather than a guarantee, and we do not promise a fixed completion date.
Two warranties, not one. The manufacturer covers the product and we cover the installation. Our workmanship warranty is a one-year limited warranty on siding work, and five years on a full James Hardie replacement. We publish both rather than one blanket figure.
Paying for it. Financing options may be available through a third-party financing partner, subject to approval and the provider’s terms. We are not the lender.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Siding in Farragut, TN — Common Questions
How much does siding replacement cost in Farragut, TN?
By wall area. Vinyl runs $15,000 to $26,000, engineered wood $20,000 to $37,000, and James Hardie $25,000 to $45,000, depending on the size of the house. Farragut homes tend to fall in the upper rows of that table. The full breakdown is above.
My house is from the 1980s. Repair or replace?
At that age it is usually replacement, but the answer comes from the wall, not the panel. We look at the sheathing, the flashing, and the trim before recommending anything. If a repair genuinely solves it, we will tell you that.
What is Z-flashing and why does it keep coming up?
It is the flashing that goes where brick stops and siding starts, typically on a gable end. It has to sit behind the cladding and lap correctly to send water out rather than into the wall. On a lot of 1980s and 1990s Farragut construction it was either omitted or has failed, and caulk was used instead. It is one of the more common repairs we do here.
Hardie or LP SmartSide — which should I choose?
We install both. James Hardie is fiber cement, with better fire and pest resistance and a 30-year limited non-prorated warranty. LP SmartSide is engineered wood, lighter, and easier on framing that is already stressed. Hardie costs more up front and is the better long-term investment. In East Tennessee humidity we usually recommend Hardie where the budget allows it.
Do you charge for an estimate in Farragut?
Standard on-site estimates are free. For complex inspections — active leaks, previous repair work, or conditions we cannot verify from the ground — we charge a $350 Technical Assessment, credited back in full if you move forward.
Should I pay 50% upfront?
No. We ask 33% at signing to cover materials, and the rest is tied to progress on the job.
