Exterior House Painting in the Fatherland Area of East Nashville
Restoring an Older East Nashville Exterior
Cumberland Painting restored the exterior of this older East Nashville home with extensive preparation, wood repair, pressure washing, and a fresh Sherwin-Williams finish designed to give the home a cleaner, more updated appearance.
The Challenge
The Biggest Challenge: Peeling Paint
This East Nashville home had the kind of exterior wear that often comes with an older property. The existing paint had faded, areas were peeling, and the homeowner was ready for a new color. Loose paint had to be scraped away and problem areas sanded before the crew could move forward, so failing paint would not be trapped beneath the new finish.

The Solution
Extensive Prep, In Detail
The exterior was pressure washed, areas of failing paint were scraped, rough transitions were sanded, and wood repairs were completed where deterioration or damage needed to be addressed. Landscaping and surrounding areas were protected while the crew worked.
Carlos and the Cumberland Painting crew then painted the walls, trim, doors, shutters, fascia, and soffits in Sherwin-Williams Succulent SW 9650 with a satin finish.

The Result? A Fresh Look Without Skipping the Hard Part.
The visible transformation came from the new color and finish, but the foundation of the project was the preparation underneath it. After five days of preparation, repairs, protection, and painting, the home had a renewed exterior presence in the Fatherland area of East Nashville.
