A Tennessee licensed General Contractor with more than 20 years in the building industry — a builder who has seen homes from every side of the business, from the supply counter to the inspection report to the final build.
Nathan is the owner and builder behind Orange Hat Home Builders — a custom home builder and remodeler serving Loudon, Knoxville, and the greater East Tennessee region. Nathan owns and operates Orange Hat personally, which means when you hire Orange Hat, you work directly with the builder himself.
What sets Nathan apart is the path he took to get here. He spent over 10 years as a store manager at Lowe's, working hand-in-hand with builders and contractors through customer service and material supply. Those years gave him a front-row view of the trade and the relationships that come with it — and he knew he wanted to be on the building side of the business.
From there, Nathan owned and operated a home inspection business for five years, where he learned the standards of building inside and out: how homes should be constructed, where things go wrong, and how to do it correctly. He went on to earn his real estate appraiser license — which he still holds today — giving him a deep understanding of what makes a home hold its value. Finally, he achieved his General Contractor license and turned that complete, well-rounded knowledge into building, remodeling, and roofing homes across East Tennessee.
That combination — supply, inspection, appraisal, and construction — is a perspective very few builders can offer. Based in Loudon, Nathan built Orange Hat on a simple philosophy: provide top-notch building and remodeling service, communicate clearly, follow up consistently, and stand behind every project. From the foundation up to the rooftop, it's built better from the ground up.
Orange Hat Home Builders understands that building or remodeling a home is one of the largest and most personal investments a family will ever make. You deserve a builder who treats your project with the same care he'd bring to his own home — and who keeps you informed every step of the way.
Nathan's approach hasn't changed since the day he started: provide top-notch building and remodeling service, ensure proper communication and follow-up, and stand behind the work. No cut corners, no disappearing between phases, no surprises at the end. Just quality construction, honest answers, and a finished home you can be proud of — backed by a full builder warranty.
