Jefferson County wraps around Douglas and Cherokee lakes east of Knoxville, with about 59,000 residents in Dandridge, Jefferson City, White Pine, New Market and the farmland between. Every town in the county enforces its own residential codes, and the Jefferson County Building Department covers the rest. Lake country brings wind: on 7 August 2023 the National Weather Service measured straight-line gusts of 80 mph near Dandridge and 85 mph near Douglas Lake. NOAA's records also include two-inch hail southwest of Dandridge in April 2011 and an EF-1 tornado northwest of New Market in June 2013 that damaged a home's roof. We have completed several jobs in the county, in Jefferson City, White Pine and Talbott. We inspect, document what we find with photos, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
