Why Franklin Homeowners Choose 360° Painting of Greater Nashville

Our project managers take time to listen before any brush touches your home. We coordinate projects to support timely service and minimize disruption to your daily routine, and we don’t consider a project complete until you’re fully satisfied.

When evaluating exterior painters, homeowners commonly weigh preparation standards, communication, property protection, scheduling reliability, and cleanup. Our crews protect your property during preparation and application, and our project managers coordinate scheduling and answer questions throughout the job.

We use premium materials from Sherwin-Williams, PPG Paints, and Benjamin Moore as part of the customized plan we build with every homeowner.

Warranties & Estimates

We stand behind our workmanship with a 2-year paint warranty and a 6-month carpentry warranty. These are separate coverages, each applying to its respective scope of work. Warranty coverage should be read alongside the written terms, including covered work, exclusions, and any maintenance responsibilities that apply.

We offer free estimates with no obligation for exterior painting projects. An estimate gives you a clear picture of the scope and cost before any commitment is made.

Our Plan, Prep, and Paint Process

Our corporate process is built around three stages: Plan, Prep, and Paint. Each stage has a defined purpose, and skipping steps can create problems that affect a coating’s performance later.

Planning includes collaboration on color selection, project scheduling, and the details of your specific project. We discuss your needs, your preferences, and your budget so the project is scoped correctly from the start.

Preparation is where exterior painting jobs succeed or fail. Our preparation work includes protecting your property, cleaning surfaces to remove dirt, pollen, mildew, and loose material, scraping and sanding where needed, priming, and securing loose elements when needed. Preparation requirements vary by substrate, existing coating condition, moisture exposure, and visible damage. We match the prep work to the actual condition of your home’s exterior rather than applying an identical sequence to every surface.

During Paint, our crews apply the selected product with precision and care. After painting is complete, we conduct a final inspection and customer walk-around so you can review the finished work.

Franklin Historic District Considerations

Properties within the Historic Preservation Overlay District may be subject to review by the Historic Zoning Commission before exterior work begins. The City of Franklin identifies painting of previously unpainted masonry as an exterior alteration covered by its Historic District Design Guidelines. Exterior alterations that fall under those guidelines require a Certificate of Appropriateness.

The City advises property owners to contact the Historic Preservation Officer before beginning work to determine whether a Certificate of Appropriateness is required. If your home is located within a historic overlay area and you’re considering changes to masonry or other regulated exterior features, confirm the applicable local review requirements before starting.

Common Exterior Paint Problems

High humidity, rain, sunlight, shaded exposures, and trapped moisture can affect exterior coatings over time. These conditions may contribute to blistering, fading, mildew, chalking, flaking, chipping, and moisture-related deterioration. Shaded surfaces may be more susceptible to mildew. Older homes with layered finishes may show flaking or chipping where previous coatings weren’t fully removed or moisture reached behind the siding.

Mildew and peeling paint can indicate surface contamination, moisture movement, coating failure, or inadequate preparation from a prior job. Cracks, open seams, deteriorated joints, and damaged wood also affect how a new coating performs. Identifying the cause of a paint failure before repainting matters because applying a new coating over an unresolved condition can shorten the new finish’s life. Our evaluation and preparation process addresses visible conditions before application begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does exterior paint typically last?
Exterior coating service life varies with weather exposure, substrate condition, surface preparation, product selection, and maintenance. Homes in full sun or those facing frequent storms may need attention sooner. A painting professional can assess your home’s surfaces and current conditions to give you a realistic expectation for your specific situation.

What time of year is best for exterior painting?
Temperature, humidity, rain, and surface moisture all affect exterior paint application and curing. Mild conditions generally support better results, but the right timing depends on your home’s exposure, the surfaces being painted, and current weather patterns. We can discuss scheduling options when we assess your project.

Should my home’s exterior be cleaned before painting?
Cleaning helps remove dirt, pollen, mildew, and loose material before a new coating is applied. The appropriate cleaning method depends on the exterior material, the existing finish, and the surface’s condition.
