Nashville's Trusted Painters — Interior, Exterior, Cabinet & Deck

Finding a painting contractor in Nashville shouldn't feel like a gamble. Too many homeowners get vague estimates, painters who cut corners when nobody's watching, or sales reps who push the biggest scope they can sell you. At Those Guys Painting Co., we've spent over a decade building a reputation as Nashville's go-to painting company by doing things differently — clear communication, honest pricing, premium products, and painters we'd trust in our own homes.

We've completed more than 1,000 residential and commercial painting projects across Nashville. Every neighborhood, every architectural style, every kind of project. We know what a 1920s East Nashville bungalow needs that a new build in The Nations doesn't, and we know how to scope a Belmont Victorian without surprising you with change orders halfway through.

Painters in Every Nashville Neighborhood

East Nashville. Some of the most character-rich homes in the city — 1920s craftsman bungalows, four-squares, and turn-of-the-century cottages along Eastland, Greenwood, and Porter. Old plaster, original trim, layers of lead-era paint underneath. These projects need careful prep, the right primers, and painters who won't rush through wall repairs. We work all over East Nashville including Lockeland Springs, Inglewood, McFerrin Park, and Cleveland Park.

Sylvan Park, The Nations, and Charlotte Park. Mix of restored bungalows and modern infill builds. The new construction needs different treatment than the historic stock — fresh drywall takes paint differently than 100-year-old plaster, and the trim packages on the new builds are typically higher-volume. We've painted more Nations new-builds than we can count and we know how to keep timelines tight without compromising prep.

12 South, Belmont, and Hillsboro Village. Walkable, residential, mostly older homes with mature trim and original woodwork. Cabinet painting is huge in this zone — homeowners updating kitchens in homes they're staying in long-term. We bring the dust containment, the cure-time discipline, and the airless spray rigs that turn dated oak cabinets into something that looks like new.

Germantown, Hope Gardens, and Salemtown. Mostly newer construction with some restored historic stock. Modern color palettes, clean trim, lots of accent walls. We work fast here and we know which color choices need extra coats before we quote.

Wedgewood-Houston, Chestnut Hill, and Berry Hill commercial corridor. Mix of residential, light commercial, and office buildings. We handle both sides — residential repaints and commercial interior/exterior for offices, retail, and medical buildings. Commercial work gets scheduled around your operations; we don't shut you down.

Hermitage, Donelson, and the Donelson Pike corridor. Newer subdivisions, larger homes, lots of exterior work. The hot/humid Tennessee climate is hard on exterior paint — we use exterior-grade products, proper caulking, and full pressure-washing prep so the work lasts.

Interior Painting in Nashville

Interior painting is what Nashville homeowners call us for most. Full-home repaints, single-room refreshes, accent walls, hallways, ceilings, trim. Every job follows the same process:

Full surface prep. Nail holes filled, drywall patches repaired and sanded, trim caulked, surfaces cleaned. Prep isn't an add-on line item — it's included on every job. The reason most paint jobs fail isn't the paint, it's the prep that got skipped.

Premium products only. We use Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams exclusively. Better coverage, better durability, better finish. If a specific color you want is high-risk (deep reds, bright yellows, some greens), we'll tell you upfront how many coats it needs and what it costs — before you commit to anything.

Two coats minimum. Always. Even on "easy" colors. Two coats is how you get even color, no flashing, no roller marks.

Clean site daily. Drop cloths on floors, plastic on furniture, surfaces wiped down at end of each day. Your home stays livable while we work.

Final walkthrough with you. We inspect our own work first. If something's off at the walkthrough, we fix it on the spot. No callbacks needed.

Typical interior projects in Nashville run $500–$1,000 per room or $3,000–$8,000 for a full 3-5 bedroom home, depending on prep needs, ceiling height, and trim complexity.

Exterior Painting in Nashville

Nashville's climate is hard on exterior paint. Humid summers, freeze-thaw winters, intense UV in the open months. Exterior paint that doesn't get proper prep peels within 3-5 years. Exterior paint that DOES get proper prep lasts 10-15.

Our exterior process: pressure wash the entire surface, scrape and sand failing paint, caulk gaps and seams, prime bare spots, then two full coats of exterior-grade Benjamin Moore Aura or Sherwin-Williams Duration. Trim and accent colors painted separately for clean lines.

Typical Nashville exterior repaints run $7,000–$12,000 depending on home size, siding type (Hardie board, wood lap, brick + accents), and condition.

Cabinet Painting in Nashville

Kitchen cabinet painting is one of the highest-ROI projects you can do in a Nashville home — both for resale and for staying-in-place updates. Most kitchen jobs run $3,500–$7,000 and finish in 5-7 days from removal to reinstall.

Our process: remove all doors and hardware, label everything for exact reinstall, thoroughly degrease (kitchen cabinets accumulate years of cooking grease that paint won't stick to), sand the existing finish, prime, then airless-spray 2-3 coats of cabinet-grade Benjamin Moore Advance. Cure time is non-negotiable — we don't reinstall doors until the finish has hardened.

Spray application is what separates a cabinet paint job that looks like new cabinets from one that looks painted. Brush leaves marks on flat panels, raised panels, and grooves. Spray gives you factory-smooth coverage on every surface.

Deck Refinishing in Nashville

Older homes throughout East Nashville, Belmont, and Sylvan Park have aging wood decks that need refinishing every 2-3 years. We clean, sand, and apply oil-based or waterborne stain — two coats, proper cure time, and we work around Nashville's notoriously unpredictable weather windows.
