Older houses have character, quirks and hidden surprises. Here is how to side them well without losing what makes them special.
Walk through any older Nashville neighborhood and you will see bungalows, cottages and ranches with real character. They also come with real quirks: walls that are not quite straight, windows that sit in odd places, layers of old siding and paint and sometimes hidden rot from decades of weather. A siding job on an older home is more like a restoration than a simple replacement.
The key is to open the wall and see what is there. We remove old siding carefully, straighten and repair sheathing, add a modern weather barrier and flash every opening before installing new material. Then we choose profiles, trim and colors that respect the style of the house, whether that means smooth fiber cement lap, cedar shakes on a gable or a fresh coat on repaired original wood. The result keeps the charm and adds years of protection.
