Exterior Painting in Progress on a Brick Home in Franklin TN

Here's what we're working with on this one - a charming brick and board-and-batten home in Franklin, TN. The bones of this place are great. Good roofline, nice covered porch, mature landscaping. But the exterior color scheme needed a refresh, and that's exactly what we're in the middle of delivering.

Painting a home like this takes more than just slapping color on a wall. Brick requires specific prep and the right type of paint to make sure it holds long-term. Same goes for the board-and-batten siding. We have to think about how the surfaces interact with each other and make sure the finish looks intentional - not patched together.

The deep green on the siding and shutters paired with the crisp white brick base is a combination that works really well for a home like this. It pulls from the natural surroundings without blending into them. That's the kind of color decision that makes a house feel like it belongs exactly where it sits.

Exterior painting is one of those investments that people sometimes underestimate. Done right, it protects the structure, lifts the curb appeal significantly, and can add real value when it comes time to sell. Done wrong, it peels, fades, and ends up costing more to fix than it would have to do it correctly the first time. We don't cut corners on prep or product - that's what separates a paint job that lasts from one that doesn't.
