Nathan's path through the building industry — from home inspection to real estate appraisal to general contracting — means he understands construction from every angle. That's a perspective very few builders can offer, and it shows in the quality of every home he builds.
Most contractors come up through one trade. Nathan came up through the entire business — 10+ years managing a Lowe's working alongside builders, five years owning a home inspection company, a real estate appraiser license, and finally his General Contractor license.
That means when Orange Hat builds or remodels your home, you're working with someone who understands the materials, the standards, the value, and the craftsmanship. It's the kind of well-rounded experience that protects your investment and gives you confidence in every decision — from the foundation to the final coat of paint.
Nathan has spent more than two decades in the building industry with a simple philosophy: provide top-notch service, communicate clearly, and stand behind the work. Based right here in Loudon, that's exactly how Orange Hat Home Builders operates on every project.
From his years as a Lowe's store manager working with builders, to owning a home inspection business, to earning his appraiser and General Contractor licenses, Nathan brings a complete understanding of homes to every build and remodel. He's trusted by homeowners across Knoxville, Loudon, Maryville, and the greater East Tennessee area.

Real feedback from clients across the region — on Nathan's remodeling, roofing, and inspection work.
"I met Nathan Lail through Peterson Place Homeowners Association. He purchased an abandoned home in our HOA. Completely remodeled with a new roof. House sold and our new member is very pleased with the new home. Nathan went on and replaced 2 more roofs in our HOA. He is more than reasonable, his crew is very efficient. Excellent cleanup after job completed. He will be doing all of our homes as needed."
"Nathan has been great about always being available to answer our calls and questions. He does a thorough inspection and report and was even available on short notice for a re-inspection. Highly recommend!"
"Nate was extremely thorough with our inspection and walked us through everything step by step. We had to change the date several times for our new construction and he made sure he was available when we needed him. The price is EXTREMELY reasonable and is hands down the best we have ever worked with. Will recommend him in the future!"
