Custom Homes & Porches in North & East Knoxville, TN
We serve the north and east side of Knoxville, including Corryton, Mascot and Halls, within our 40 mile area. Custom homes and timber porches for families moving out toward the country. Farther areas should call to check.
We serve the north and east side of Knoxville, out toward Corryton, Mascot and Halls in Knox County, about 30 to 40 miles from our Rutledge shop. It is the edge of our area, where the city gives way to bigger lots, rolling land, and families moving out toward the country. Sunrise Builders 4 LLC builds custom homes and timber porches here, with the heavy timber character that suits a place with room to spread out.
If you are moving out of Knoxville toward the country, a custom home with a timber frame porch is a natural fit. The covered porch faces the yard, the timber gives the entry a crafted front, and the home reads like it was built for the land. We cut and stain the frame in the Rutledge shop and bring it to your lot ready to raise. Farther out than our 40 mile area, call first and we will let you know whether the drive works.
Custom homes for families moving out
A lot of North and East Knoxville work is families moving out of the city for more land. A custom home on a bigger lot lets the porch become a real outdoor room, and timber frame porches, timber accents and covered outdoor living give the home a crafted feel that a plain build does not have. We work in exposed timber so the frame is the feature, stained to sit naturally against the open land. The porch becomes the part of the house the family actually lives on.
Porches and accents on existing homes too
Not every project out here is new. We add covered timber porches, entry awnings and gable accents to existing homes in the Corryton, Mascot and Halls side of the county, tying the new roofline into the old and matching the stain. A heavy timber porch on an existing brick or sided home gives it a warmer front and a place to sit, without changing the house underneath. We design the porch to the lot and the roofline so it reads settled.
How a North and East Knoxville build runs
It starts with a call to the builder. We talk through your lot, whether you are building new or adding on, and the porch and timber you want. We lay out the spans and joinery, cut and drill the timbers in the Rutledge shop, and stain them in the finish you choose. When the frame is ready, it goes to your prepared footings to be raised. The cutting and staining happen off site, so your lot stays clean through the build.
Good to know about the edge of our area
North and East Knoxville sits toward the outer edge of our 40 mile area, so the drive factors into the schedule. We plan the raise around it, and if your lot is farther out than our area, call first and we will tell you straight whether we can take it on. We work by appointment and take on residential projects only, one at a time, so the builder is the one who scopes the lot and answers the phone.
Kits for the hands on homeowner
If you have a crew or want to raise the frame yourself, a precut, prestained kit brings the timber craft without handing over the whole build. The frame is shaped and stained in our shop and ready to go to your footings, with the joinery worked out and the finish on the wood. For a family building out toward the country, that can be the right balance of craft and control. We will help you see whether a kit or a full build fits your lot and your help.
