Siding, Windows & Gutters in Oak Ridge, TN

Oak Ridge has housing you won’t find anywhere else in East Tennessee. The city was built in the 1940s for the Manhattan Project, and many of the original government-built houses — the “alphabet houses” and cemesto homes — are still lived in today, alongside mid-century neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on the ridges. Over the decades, many of these homes have been re-sided and re-windowed more than once, often with whatever was cheapest at the time.

North Knox Siding & Windows has been a family-owned Knoxville exterior contractor since 1996, and Oak Ridge is part of our regular service area. Our headquarters is at 916 Katherine Ave in Knoxville, and our showroom (by appointment) is at 5618 N. Broadway St. in Fountain City. We’ll come to your home for a free estimate and leave a written, itemized quote.

What Oak Ridge homeowners ask us about

Siding on older homes, done carefully

Older Oak Ridge homes can have several layers of siding underneath what you see. Some original exterior materials from the 1940s and ’50s can contain asbestos — if your home still has original siding, ask us about testing before any tear-off. Once the wall is clear, we repair or replace sheathing, install new house wrap and flashing, and put up new siding:

• Vinyl for an affordable, low-maintenance update that suits smaller mid-century homes
• James Hardie fiber cement for a crisp, durable finish that won’t rot
• LP SmartSide engineered wood for a wood-look option

Replacement windows

Many Oak Ridge homes have small or irregular openings — and earlier replacement windows that never quite fit. Because we measure every window ourselves, new replacement windows are ordered to the real openings. Low-E glass improves comfort through humid summers and cold valley mornings.

Gutters on ridge and valley lots

Oak Ridge’s ridges and hollows mean a lot of homes sit below a slope or on one. Water that overflows small gutters ends up against the foundation or in the crawlspace, especially in clay soils. We install seamless gutters sized for the roof, with downspouts and extensions that carry water where it can drain.

Roofing and doors

Roof replacement and entry and patio doors are available too.

Permits and HOAs

We pull any building permits our work requires. If your neighborhood has an HOA with color or material rules, we’ll help you put together the submittal — product specs, color names, and samples — though the HOA works directly with the homeowner.
