12 South, in the details
Bungalows, Tudors and new infill.
Each needs its own plan.
12th Avenue South was once Granny White Pike. Around 1900 a streetcar line ran out the pike and land companies laid out the subdivisions beside it, and the old Waverly Belmont community grew up here with bungalows and Folk Victorian houses. Sunnyside, an 1852 house in Sevier Park, is now home to the Metro Historical Commission and the Metro Historic Zoning Commission.
The exterior on this page is a 12 South Tudor we painted: brick, shutters and an iron front gate. We also published an interior painting project in 12 South: walls, ceilings, baseboards and doors after filling, caulking, sanding and spot priming, at a published total of $3,980. Our job records show 38 jobs in ZIP 37204 since 2014, split about evenly between interiors and exteriors. That ZIP also covers Berry Hill and other south Nashville streets.
Older houses, newer infill
Original houses here sit beside new construction. A 1920s bungalow can need careful scraping, wood repair and priming on porch columns, trim and window sashes, while a new build may need only a color change and clean lines. We price the house you have, not a neighborhood average.
Brick and conservation overlays
Some streets just west of 12th Avenue South fall inside Metro’s Belmont-Hillsboro neighborhood conservation overlay. In a conservation overlay, Metro reviews new construction, additions, demolition and relocation, not paint color. Painting unpainted brick is reviewed in historic preservation overlays. If you are unsure which applies to your parcel, check with the Metro Historic Zoning Commission before you paint brick.
What is included in a written estimate
Your estimate lists the surfaces, preparation and finish. A typical scope includes an owner walkthrough, protection of adjacent areas, the agreed washing, scraping, repairs, caulking and priming, the specified paint, cleanup and a final walkthrough. See warranty terms and what affects painting cost.

Also covered on this page: Berry Hill
Berry Hill, its own small city.
Berry Hill
Berry Hill is a separate satellite city inside Davidson County. Residents voted to incorporate on February 28, 1950, and since Buzz Cason opened his Creative Workshop studio there in 1970 it has become a center for recording studios, sometimes called “Music Hill.” Many studios work out of converted houses. Our records include work in ZIP 37204, one job labeled Berry Hill. Because Berry Hill has its own city government, ask the City of Berry Hill about any exterior permit questions before work begins.
