Exterior Painting & Wood Repair in Richland, Nashville

A Fresh Finish Built on Careful Wood Repairs

Faded paint and extensive wood rot called for more than a fresh coat at Lori’s single-story brick home. Cumberland Painting repaired damaged wood and refreshed the exterior details, fence, and deck with a green and brown color palette.

The Challenge

Addressing Damaged Wood Before Painting

The standout challenge on this project was the amount of wood rot. Repairing those areas was a key part of preparing the exterior for its new finish, and the existing paint around the home’s trim and architectural details had faded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair wood rot before painting?

Yes. Wood repair is part of our exterior preparation. Damaged areas are repaired before priming and painting so the new finish goes onto a sound surface.

Can you paint or stain my fence and deck at the same time as the house?

Yes. This project combined exterior painting with fence and deck painting/staining, so the whole property was refreshed together.
