Painting in Franklin, Tennessee

New Direction Painting works out of an office in Franklin. Twelve years, more than 150 five-star reviews, and a crew that lives in the same county as the work.

Franklin gives a painter three different jobs depending on the postcode. The historic homes near downtown need the prep done slowly and the colours approved before anything opens. The newer developments out toward Westhaven and Berry Farms come with HOA palettes and a committee. And Middle Tennessee humidity decides when exterior work can actually cure, which shortens the season more than most homeowners expect.

Interior Painting in Franklin

Interior work in Franklin means three different jobs depending on where the house sits. The historic homes around Downtown Franklin need slow prep and careful cutting-in against original trim and plaster. The family houses out in Westhaven are usually repaints on newer drywall where colour and coverage are the whole conversation. The condos near Cool Springs are often turnarounds against a deadline. We quote all three differently because they are not the same job.

We cover walls, ceilings, trim, doors and the drywall repair that has to happen before any of it, and we specify Sherwin-Williams Emerald where the finish has to survive a family. Recent Franklin interiors give you the range: a 1,450 square foot Airbnb condo repaint came in at $4,725, and a full interior with painted bookcases, accent colours, ceilings and trim came to $15,000.

Exterior Painting in Franklin

Exterior work covers siding, trim, shutters, doors, stucco and exterior woodwork, and on most Franklin houses the carpentry is the part nobody quoted for. Rot in trim and soffits only becomes visible once the old coat comes off, which is why we look for it at the estimate rather than raising it in week two. What we find there is usually the difference between a quote that holds and a quote that moves.

Middle Tennessee humidity decides when exterior paint can actually cure, and that window is shorter than most homeowners expect. Booking the wrong month does not show up as a problem immediately. It shows up two summers later as early failure on the south-facing elevation. We will tell you honestly which month you are in and whether it is worth waiting.

Commercial Painting in Franklin

We paint offices, retail units, clinics, restaurants and multi-tenant property across Franklin and Williamson County, and the scheduling matters as much as the paint. Most of this work happens evenings, weekends or in phases, because a business that has to close to be painted has paid for the paint twice. We plan the sequence around your trading hours before anything is priced.

Commercial jobs here run $2,500 to $30,000 and up depending on size and scope. A 4,200 square foot horse stable repaint came in at $11,500. Beyond painting we also pressure wash, remove wallpaper, refinish cabinetry, consult on colour and hand-paint logos, which means one contractor and one schedule instead of four.

Cabinet Painting in Franklin

A cabinet refinish gets you most of a new kitchen for a fraction of the price and about a tenth of the disruption. We have completed more than 500 cabinet projects in twelve years, covering kitchens, bathrooms, entryways and linen cabinets, and we have worked through most of the cabinet styles Franklin builders used from Westhaven to Fieldstone Farms.

The finish is where cabinet jobs are won or lost. Doors and drawer fronts come off and get sprayed with an HVLP system, which lays down a smoother, more even coat than a brush ever will and is the reason a proper refinish does not look like a painted kitchen. Boxes are finished in place, hardware goes back on adjusted, and the site is cleaned each day rather than at the end.

Deck Staining in Franklin

Deck staining is three jobs, and most quotes only price the third. The deck has to be cleaned properly, the surface has to be prepared and any failed boards or fixings dealt with, and only then does stain go down. Skipping the first two is why a deck stained last spring looks tired by the following autumn, and it is the single most common thing we are called to put right.

Franklin decks take full southern sun and heavy summer humidity, which is harder on a horizontal surface than anything a wall goes through. We will tell you whether yours needs a stain, a strip and re-stain, or carpentry first, and we would rather say so at the estimate than halfway through.

House Painting in Franklin

House painting is the whole property on one schedule, inside and out, with one crew and one point of contact. It is the right route when you are moving in, moving out, or finally doing all of it at once instead of a room a year. The advantage is sequencing: exterior when the weather allows, interior around it, and no gap where two contractors blame each other.

You get the same crew from first walkthrough to final inspection, a written price before anything starts, and a site left clean each evening rather than at the end of the job. More than 150 five-star reviews say that is what actually happens.

This Is How Your Space Can Look

Here’s What You Need To Know

Franklin and Williamson County, plus Brentwood, Nashville, Fairview, Pegram and White Bluff.

We work from approved palettes and can help prepare the submission, but the association approves it. Start early, because it is usually the longest part of the timeline.

Yes. Drywall patching, trim and carpentry are part of the job, and we would rather price them at the estimate than find them in week two.

Commercial work runs $2,500 to $30,000 and up. Recent Franklin interiors include a 1,450 sq ft condo at $4,725 and a full interior at $15,000. Square footage, condition and repair volume set the number.

The window is shorter than people expect, because humidity affects cure as much as temperature does. We will tell you honestly which month you are in.

The New Direction Painting crew did a phenomenal job on our textured ceilings.

Eric and Sergio made quick work of the project working around our home and leaving it better than they found it. Jared and company are responsive, respectful and true professionals.

Would heartily recommend considering New Direction Painting for your project.

Jared and his crew were great to work with. They do quality work at a fair price.

They painted our retail space, they showed up early and stayed late so we only had to close 1 day.
