Local Business Overview

South Knoxville Home Improvement has been a trusted name in Knoxville since 1960, when Curtis Sr. founded the business. Now run by his son, the company carries on a legacy of hands-on craftsmanship and honest service. As a licensed and bonded general contractor, we specialize in home remodels—kitchens, baths, decks, gazebos, sunrooms, screened porches, and additions—plus plumbing and electrical work. We also handle damage restoration, including the common local issues Knoxville residents face: ceiling water stains from snowmelt, sewage backup after heavy rains, and flooding from tropical storms. Whether you're near the Tennessee River, in the Vestal neighborhood, or close to Ijams Nature Center, we know the area's weather patterns and building styles. Our business has grown through word-of-mouth and loyal customers, and we treat every job—large or small—with the same dedication my father taught me.

Question Answers

What should I do if I have a ceiling water stain from snowmelt in my Knoxville home?

First, identify the source—often it's ice dams or a roof leak. We can inspect the damage, stop further water intrusion, and restore the ceiling. Since Knoxville gets snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend checking attic insulation and ventilation. We'll handle the repair and help prevent future issues.

Do you offer electrical inspections for older homes in South Knoxville?

Yes, we provide thorough electrical inspections for homes of any age. Whether you're buying a historic house near downtown or updating a mid-century home in Vestal, we check wiring, panels, outlets, and safety hazards. We can also make necessary upgrades to meet current codes.

How do you handle sewage backup water damage after heavy storms in Knoxville?

Sewage backups are a serious health risk. We respond quickly to extract contaminated water, sanitize affected areas, and restore your home. We also assess the cause—often overloaded city lines or tree root intrusion—and can recommend preventive measures. We serve all Knoxville neighborhoods, including those near the Tennessee River prone to flooding.
