Paint fails where the preparation fell short. Exterior coats peel when they go over damp wood, chalky old paint or bare spots that were never primed, and interior walls show every patch that was not feathered and sanded. A JACCO painting scope spells out the prep surface by surface: what gets scraped, which boards and trim pieces are replaced, where caulk and filler go, and which areas need a bonding or stain-blocking primer before any finish coat.

That prep looks different across Franklin. Historic homes near downtown tend to carry decades of paint on wood siding, porch railings and window trim, with soft spots that need replacing before anything is coated, and houses of that age may have lead-based paint in the older layers, which changes how surfaces can be scraped and sanded. In established subdivisions, exteriors are more often fiber-cement or brick with painted trim, while interiors call for drywall repairs, nail-pop fixes and a move from flat builder paint to a finish that can be wiped clean.

Because JACCO is a general contractor, the repairs and the painting are one job rather than two. Rotted fascia, split porch spindles and damaged drywall are fixed by the same team that paints them, and floors, furniture and plantings are covered before work starts. Our interior and exterior house painting is scheduled around the weather for outside work and around your household for inside rooms, and it ends with a walk-through to catch any missed spot.
