Explore Cabinet Painting →Franklin Homes Are Not All the Same—and the Painting Plan Shouldn’t Be Either
Franklin includes established neighborhoods, newer master-planned communities, custom homes, townhomes, larger properties, open-concept interiors, detailed trim packages, painted brick, fiber cement, exterior woodwork, and homes at very different stages of maintenance.
The age of the home, previous coatings, sun exposure, moisture, trim condition, repairs, landscaping, architectural details, and neighborhood guidelines can all affect how a painting project should be approached.
Garretson Painting evaluates the home itself rather than using a one-size-fits-all process. That helps determine what needs straightforward repainting and where additional preparation, repair, or protection is important first.
Franklin Homes May Require
- Interior color updates and connected-room planning
- Cabinet and built-in refinishing
- Drywall repair before repainting
- Exterior caulking, scraping, sanding, and priming
- Wood rot or trim repair
- Careful protection of landscaping and finished surfaces
- HOA-approved exterior colors in some communities

Cory McCormickThe Paint Is Only as Good as the Preparation Behind It
Preparation is one of the most important parts of a professional painting project. Paint performs best when it is applied to a clean, sound, properly prepared surface.
Depending on the project, preparation may include patching, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming, drywall repair, wood or trim repair, and careful protection of surrounding surfaces before painting begins.
Garretson Painting evaluates the condition of the home and explains the preparation included in the project so homeowners understand what is happening before finish coats are applied.
Preparation May Include
- Protecting floors, furniture, fixtures, and landscaping
- Cleaning surfaces before coating
- Scraping and sanding failing paint
- Drywall patching and repairs
- Caulking cracks, joints, and gaps where appropriate
- Spot priming repaired or exposed areas
- Wood and trim repair when needed
- Final touch-ups and walkthrough
