Smith Roofing & Exteriors is proud to announce being honored with the 2025 James Hardie Service Excellence Award. This elite distinction was awarded to only 30 siding installation contractors across the entire United States. Smith Roofing and Exteriors is the sole recipient in Knoxville and the only contractor in Tennessee to earn this recognition in 2025.
The James Hardie Service Excellence Award represents the highest pinnacle of achievement within the James Hardie™ ALLIANCE™ program. To be considered, contractors must maintain strict “Good Standing” status, providing exhaustive documentation of installation quality and business ethics. Furthermore, recipients must be dedicated exclusively to the James Hardie brand, ensuring they are not “website tier” contractors for competing hard-siding products.
The selection process is based on transparent, third-party data via GuildQuality and Google Reviews. Smith Roofing & Exteriors met and exceeded the following 2025 benchmarks:
- Elite Customer Satisfaction: Maintained a 95% or higher “Likely to Recommend” rating via GuildQuality.
- Review Excellence: Achieved a Google rating of 4.9 or higher, specifically from 2025 customer reviews.
- Consistent Volume: Logged a minimum of 20 high-standard jobs in 2025.
“Earning a spot among the top 30 companies in the nation is an incredible milestone, but being the only company in Tennessee to bring this award home is what makes it special,” said Chris Smith, Owner of Smith Roofing & Exteriors. “Our ‘Integrity First, Quality Always’ mantra isn’t just a slogan; it’s the standard that allowed us to meet these rigorous data-driven benchmarks. This award belongs to our customers who took the time to share their experiences.”
In addition to this national recognition, Smith Roofing & Exteriors remains an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor and holds an A+ rating with the BBB.
