Blount County runs from the Knoxville suburbs south to the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, and about 142,000 people live here. Building permits split the same way the map does: Maryville and Alcoa each run their own codes offices, and Blount County Development Services handles unincorporated areas using the 2018 International Code Council codes. The county has a real storm record. On 23 March 2011 an EF-3 tornado with 140 mph winds damaged 26 homes, some of them destroyed, and National Weather Service reports include golf-ball-size hail south of Maryville in 2012 and two-inch hail near Tallassee in 2025. Terrain matters here too; roofs in the foothills see more wind exposure and harder access than those in town. We inspect, show you what we find, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
