Exterior Painting in Franklin
Older homes near downtown get more scraping and caulking. On newer homes the work is matching the primer to the siding.

Franklin homes and Tennessee weather
Why painting in Franklin is different
Franklin mixes a historic downtown with newer neighborhoods, and the river is never far away.
The Harpeth River
In the May 2010 flood the Harpeth River gauge at Franklin crested at 35.32 feet, a few inches above the 1948 record. Low-lying homes near the river see damp siding and mildew sooner, and we check for both.
Historic downtown rules
Inside Franklin's historic overlay, the Historic Zoning Commission reviews exterior work such as painting brick that has never been painted. It does not review paint color.
Newer homes, older homes
The median Franklin home was built in 2002 (Census ACS 2020–2024), but houses near downtown are much older. Paint from before 1978 may contain lead, and federal lead-safe rules cover work that disturbs it.
Freeze-thaw on trim
Winter freeze-thaw cycles crack caulk and paint on trim and let water into the wood. We replace failed caulk and prime bare wood before the finish coats.
