About Onyx
Onyx was built on one principle — do things the right way, every time. From the first handshake to the final walkthrough, we lead with transparency, deliver with precision, and communicate every step of the way. What started as a small family-run operation has grown into a trusted Tennessee name in residential roofing, commercial roofing, and general construction — without ever losing the personal touch that made us who we are.
- We believe in raising the bar for professionalism in construction. Our clients don’t just hire a contractor — they gain a partner dedicated to protecting their investment, enhancing their property, and creating something that lasts generations. Whether it’s a new home build, a roof replacement, or a complex commercial project, Onyx delivers craftsmanship that speaks for itself.
- Our Mission
- To redefine the construction and roofing experience through education, communication, and uncompromising quality. We’re not here to be the biggest — we’re here to be the best. Every home we build, every roof we install, and every client we serve reflects our commitment to excellence and long-term value.
