Siding across Middle Tennessee

Siding across Middle Tennessee

Siding contractors who wrap and flash the house before they clad it, and tell you what they found under the old boards.

Siding crews working Nashville also cover Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville — 65 towns across 12 counties. The houses are not the same in any two of those towns, and neither is the siding work:

• Nashville. Pre-war houses have wood siding and trim under later layers, and the honest job is often repair and paint rather than a wrap-over; where it is replaced, the profile and the reveal should match the house.
• Brentwood. Late-eighties and nineties houses often have the composite siding subject to the class-action failures of that era; an inspection tells whether it is swelling, and replacement is the long-term answer.
• Murfreesboro. The 2000s subdivisions mix brick fronts with vinyl or fiber-cement sides; the vinyl is at the age where it fades and cracks, and the fiber cement needs its caulk joints redone.
• Hendersonville. Seventies and eighties houses carry the hardboard and early vinyl of their decade; the hardboard rots at the bottom edges and behind gutters, and replacement in fiber cement is the usual upgrade.
• Columbia. Pre-war houses have wood siding and trim under later layers, and the honest job is often repair and paint rather than a wrap-over; where it is replaced, the profile and the reveal should match the house.
• Lebanon. Rural houses and outbuildings take metal siding and board-and-batten as often as lap siding, and a crew comfortable with both is the one to send.
