Mel was so easy to work with. We had him out because we needed to figure out how to fix a roof leak where the flashing wasn't done right (and part of the siding was also not right). He did a thorough inspection and explained to me what issues he saw. His quote was similar to the other we got. We ended up having him put on a new roof, with a new under shingle ventilation system and a roof vent. He also corrected siding issues (and flashing), fixed some rotten trim, and repainted part of the siding and trim. Everything looks great! His crews were very nice. Of all the contractors we've worked with on various renovations, Mel was easily one of the best at quickly responding when we had a question or saw an issue we wanted handled differently. We'll definitely hire him again if we need roof or siding work!Posted on Google![]()

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![]()

Newport homes deal with moisture, heavy rain, wind, and changing mountain weather.
That kind of exposure can damage siding slowly. Panels loosen, trim softens, paint fails, and water can get behind the wall before the homeowner sees the real problem.
That is why we do not treat siding installation as just panels on a wall. We inspect the full exterior wall system: flashing, house wrap, trim, sheathing, gutters, roof runoff, windows, and hidden damage.
At MI Homesiding & Roofing, our goal is simple: find the cause, explain it clearly, and build siding that can handle Newport weather.
We provide siding installation, siding replacement, and siding repair for homes across Newport and nearby Cocke County areas.
Our work focuses on proper fastening, moisture protection, flashing, clean trim details, and long-term performance.
We do not just replace what looks bad. We look for why the siding failed.
Our siding services include:
🏠 Siding Installation — Vinyl, Hardie, LP SmartSide, cedar, metal
🔨 Siding Replacement — Full tear-off and new siding system
🛠️ Siding Repair — Loose panels, leaks, rot, and storm damage
💧 Water Behind Siding — Hidden moisture inspection and repair
🪵 Cedar to Hardie Conversion — Stronger long-term exterior upgrade
🌧️ Storm Damage Repair — Wind, hail, and insurance documentation

Most siding problems in Newport start with water.
We often see loose siding, cracked vinyl, rotted trim, soft fascia, water stains, leaking window areas, and siding that was installed without enough room for expansion.
Mountain weather makes these problems worse. Heavy rain, wind, fog, and humidity can keep wood and trim damp longer.
When water gets behind the siding, the project may need water behind siding repair before new materials go on.
If the wall has already softened, our rotted siding repair process helps correct the damage before the finish layer is replaced.

Newport homes need siding that matches the home’s exposure.
A shaded mountain-side wall, an open front elevation, and a wall under overflowing gutters do not age the same way.
We help you choose siding based on the house, the moisture risk, and the long-term goal.
| Material | Best For | Manufacturer Warranty |
|---|---|---|
| 🏠 James Hardie | Premium homes, strong weather resistance | 30-yr limited, non-prorated |
| 🏠 Vinyl Siding | Affordable replacement and low maintenance | Varies by product |
| 🪵 LP SmartSide | Engineered wood look | 5/50 limited (LP terms) |
| 🪵 Cedar Siding | Natural accents and cabin-style homes | Varies by product |
| 🔥 Metal Siding | High exposure and modern exterior styles | Varies by product |

Newport homes face heavy rain, humidity, wind, storms, and mountain temperature swings.
A siding job can look clean at first and still fail early if flashing, house wrap, fasteners, and drainage details are wrong.
When flashing is the weak point, we connect the repair with proper siding flashing repair so water moves out instead of behind the wall.
The same East Tennessee weather patterns that damage Knoxville siding also affect Newport homes. Homeowners can review why siding fails in Knoxville weather to understand those failure points.
A low siding quote in Newport often means shortcuts in places the homeowner cannot see.
Cheap siding work may skip flashing tape, ignore house wrap, reuse bad trim, fasten panels too tight, or cover hidden rot behind new siding.
The house can look finished on day one. Then the next heavy rain or humid season exposes the same problem again.
Many siding jobs we repair started as a cheap install from another contractor who never inspected the real cause.
When the installation itself caused the failure, the right next step may be improper siding installation repair before the new siding system can perform correctly.


Homeowners in Newport choose MI Homesiding & Roofing because we focus on the cause, not just the visible damage.
We inspect siding, trim, flashing, gutters, roof runoff, windows, and drainage when moisture is involved.
If gutter overflow is part of the problem, we may recommend reviewing the gutter system along with the siding so water moves away from the wall.
If roof runoff or wall-to-roof flashing is pushing water behind the siding, we also understand how the roofing systemaffects the siding below it.
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 actual exposure before recommending siding repair or replacement.

Mountain-edge rainfall, which concentrates failures at the openings and transitions.
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.

es. We provide siding installation, siding replacement, and siding repair for homeowners in Newport and nearby areas. We work with vinyl, James Hardie, LP SmartSide, cedar, metal, and other siding options.
Common problems include loose panels, cracked vinyl, rotted trim, water behind siding, failed flashing, soft sheathing, and moisture around windows. Heavy rain and mountain humidity can make these issues worse.
e offer both. If the damage is limited and the wall system is still solid, repair may be enough. If the siding is failing in several areas or hiding moisture damage, replacement may be the better long-term choice.
If we find rot, damaged sheathing, framing issues, or moisture damage, we stop and document it with photos. We explain the problem and provide a written Change Order before continuing. Hidden damage is documented and priced in a written Change Order before any new material goes over it.
Yes. Overflowing gutters, bad downspouts, missing kick-out flashing, and roof runoff can push water behind siding. That is why we inspect the full exterior system when siding damage appears.
Yes. On-site siding estimates are free for standard projects in Newport. For complex inspections involving hidden damage, drainage issues, 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 loose siding, water stains, rotted trim, cracked panels, gutter overflow, or signs of moisture behind the wall, acting early can prevent larger repairs later.
