  • We have an older home that required some much needed attention. The staff and work crew were kind, courteous, trustworthy, and knowledgeable! They worked hard and made sure the job was done right. I highly recommend Forks River.

  • Forks River completed a pretty thorough renovation of our front porch and the front facade of our house, including adding a massive amount of insulation to a 1930 house that didn't have very much if any of it! They did this in the midst of the worst snow storm and winter weather we have had in Knoxville in 30 years! The team was incredibly supportive and responsive, from the front office to the onsite crew. Our site manager was amazing - I think I spoke with him almost every morning for 5 weeks and he was great to work with. We are very happy with the job they did, and very pleased with the result; I recommend them highly!

  • Paint color is a big decision! Our design consultants are happy to make recommendations based on your home’s architectural features and the surrounding natural area. Neutral colors are typically considered the most versatile and favorable for selling a home, but there are ways to incorporate bold colors without detracting from your home’s curb appeal.
