Cumorah Cabin, a new build by Mike Merrell

Loudon County, Tennessee

Licensed general contractor in Loudon County, TN

I’m Mike Merrell, a licensed and insured general contractor building new homes, cabins and renovations in Loudon County, including Lenoir City, Loudon, Greenback, Philadelphia and the Tellico Village area.

Merrell Mountain Home Builders, LLC holds Tennessee contractor license #82006 (BC-A residential). I own the company.

Building in Loudon County

Loudon County sits along Fort Loudoun and Tellico lakes, and many projects here are lake homes, cabins and weekend getaways. I build new homes and cabins and handle renovations, with a cost estimate up front so the budget is clear before you commit.

Projects I take on in Loudon County

  • New custom homes of any size and style, from your plans, an architect’s plans or one of mine
  • Lake homes and cabins
  • Weekend and retirement homes
  • Renovations, porches and decks
  • Custom builds from a Smoky Ridge plan or your own design

Permits and inspections

I pull the building permit and schedule inspections. If your lot is inside city limits, the city usually handles permits; otherwise it goes through the county. Either way, that’s part of my job, not yours.

Start with a plan and a real estimate

You can start from one of my Smoky Ridge plans or bring your own. Each Smoky Ridge plan includes a cost-to-build sheet and a 2024 IRC code check, which I update with local prices to give you a line-by-line estimate before any work starts.
