Nashville has no shortage of house painters. What’s rarer is one who picks the color with you in your own light and then cuts every line by hand. Alan Robinson Painting is a house painting company serving Nashville, bringing an artist's eye for color to interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting, and deck and porch staining and wood fence sealing. Alan Robinson, the working fine artist who started the company, sets the standard, and every project is inspected at every stage.
In a city this varied, the right color depends on the house. A craftsman bungalow, a brick ranch and a modern farmhouse each carry color differently, so we'll look at your home's style and light with you and help you choose shades you can feel confident about.
Alan is a working fine artist whose paintings and murals hang around Middle Tennessee, including at the Sisters of Mercy Convent in Nashville. That eye for color and composition is the standard behind every house we paint, and you'll see it in crisp lines, smooth trim and colors that work together from room to room.
We're a family business, and we look after your home as though it were ours. Everything we aren't painting is protected, the house is tidied at the end of each day, and each stage is inspected before it's called finished.
Nashville homeowners often keep us on call once the first project is done, for the next room, the kitchen cabinets, the front door or the back deck. It's simpler when your painter already knows your house and the colors you chose. You can learn more about Alan, Beth and Sawyer Robinson.
Bungalow, ranch or brand-new build, the right color brings out what makes a Nashville house its own. Helping you find it is the part of the work we enjoy most, and every project gets thorough preparation, fine paint and an artist's eye for color.
Fresh interior paint brings out the best in a Nashville house, whether that means an older home's plaster, picture rails and many-times-painted trim looking crisp, or a newer build trading flat builder paint that scuffs at a touch for a finish that lasts. We prepare each kind of surface properly, protect the house while we work, and paint walls, ceilings, trim, doors and built-ins with careful, hand-cut lines. Whether it's one bedroom or the whole house, we'll help you choose colors that suit its style and light, so the finished rooms feel both fresh and personal. Many homeowners start with the main living spaces and carry on from there.
A freshly painted exterior makes a Nashville house look loved from the sidewalk, whether it's a clapboard bungalow with a craftsman porch, a painted-brick ranch or fiber-cement infill. We wash, scrape and repair, prime bare wood and caulk seams before painting siding, trim, porches, doors and shutters in even coats. If your home sits in one of Metro's historic or conservation overlays, or in a neighborhood with its own guidelines, it's worth checking what applies before exterior work begins. The finish is chosen to hold its color and hold up for years.
A Nashville kitchen might be a vintage galley in a Sylvan Park cottage or a big open island in a new build, and either one can be transformed with painted cabinets. We remove and label the doors, degrease and sand, prime for a strong bond and spray a smooth, durable finish, with the boxes finished in place and the room protected around them. Vanities, laundry rooms and built-in bookcases can be part of the same project, and we'll help you settle on a color that gives the room the character you want.
A freshly stained back deck is where Nashville summer evenings get spent, and the stain is what keeps the wood warm and protected. We wash off the gray and mildew, brighten the boards, let them dry thoroughly and brush a penetrating stain into the grain so it wears evenly instead of peeling, with rails, stairs and balusters finished as carefully as the floor. A compact city lot and a bigger suburban yard deserve an inviting deck alike, and we'll help you choose a tone that suits your house and the yard around it.
In neighborhoods where houses sit close together, the fence is often the backdrop to the whole yard, so an even color matters. We clean and brighten the wood, give it time to dry, and stain every board, post, rail and gate, covering both faces wherever we can reach them and the tops of the posts where rain collects. A good penetrating stain brings a weathered fence back to a rich, consistent tone and helps it stand up to sun and rain for years. We'll help you choose a color that suits the house.
Nashville's houses span more than a century of styles, often on the same street, and each era has a charm worth bringing out. Choosing color that suits a bungalow or a mid-century ranch takes an artist's eye, and we'd love to help you find the palette that brings out the best in yours. If you'd like to read up first, our guides for homeowners are a good place to start.
In Richland-West End, Sylvan Park and Belmont-Hillsboro, many homes date to the early 1900s, with plaster walls, picture rails and trim that has been painted many times. We repair and smooth the plaster, sand old drips and ridges out of the woodwork, take extra care with surfaces old enough to hold lead-based paint, and cut every line by hand. That patient work is at the core of our Nashville interior painting.
In Crieve Hall, West Meade, Hillwood and the ranch streets of Green Hills, mid-century homes often have long, low rooms, paneled dens and fireplaces that respond beautifully to a considered color.
The goal is to update the house without fighting its lines, so we help you choose shades that feel current and paint paneling, built-ins and fireplace surrounds so they look intentional rather than covered. That guidance is included whenever we take on a full interior project in Nashville.
Whatever the age of the house, the cabinets set the tone for the kitchen, and painting them is often the quickest way to make it feel like yours. The same smooth, durable finish suits bathroom vanities, laundry rooms, closet systems and built-in shelving. Few changes make a house feel new so quickly, which is why we love cabinet painting in Nashville.
Outside, a color that suits a Nashville house only looks right for long if the finish underneath is sound, so whether it's exterior painting on a Nashville bungalow or ranch, staining the back deck or bringing a fence back to life, the cleaning, drying and preparation get as much care as the paint itself. If you're wondering whether spring or fall is better, the two painting seasons compared may help.
A garage turned into a finished room, a dining room, two kitchens, a glazed island, a front door and a bathroom vanity, each finished with the care we bring to every Nashville home, whatever its age or style.
I cannot recommend Alan Robinson Painting more highly!!! He and his team were so professional, thorough, honest, and efficient. This is easiest five-star review I've ever given. The price was totally fair the quality of his work was worth every cent! At the end of the project, he did a walk-through of the whole property with us to make sure everything was up to our satisfaction. When we pointed out one spot where someone had accidentally gotten paint on a light fixture, he immediately took it down and cleaned it up with a smile. Such a kind man and a great family business. Book Alan today, you won't regret it! "The most trusted brush in Nashville"!
Alan did a wonderful job painting our home. He is professional, meticulous, very hard-working and timely. He was also very kind to our children and was never put out by their asking him questions. Alan brings his lunch and keeps at the job until it’s done. I would highly recommend him and certainly will be reaching out to him for future jobs!
Alan painted all trim and siding of the exterior of house. Such quality work and professionalism! He and staff did an excellent job! Always available for questions. Very Dependable and kept the job site clean after each day. We will definitely be using Alan for any future painting projects. Thanks so much Alan! 5 Star work for sure!! 🙌
Alan and his team did a wonderful job with our cabinet repainting project. We did both the kitchen and master bath. They also repaired some various wall damage from our pups. They are very respectful in your home. I work from home and they were great to accommodate.
