Remodeling a Cottontown house: what the structure tells us
Seventies and eighties houses have the closed kitchen, the sunken living room and the formal dining room nobody uses; opening the plan is the standard remodel, and the bearing walls are found before the drawing is finished.
Rural remodels work around wells, septic and outbuildings, and a contractor who has built in the county knows the permit office and the inspectors.
Mid-century ranches take an open plan well because the roof is simple and the walls are few; the remodel is usually the kitchen wall, a master bath and a modernized system set.
The ground matters when a remodel touches the foundation or the plumbing — an addition’s footings in clay, a drain moved under a slab — and the contractor prices it after a look at the lot.
In a fast-built town the houses share a plan and a decade, and the remodel that fixes the plan is the one every third house eventually does.

The remodels Cottontown homeowners call us about
Metro Nashville permitting is the schedule risk on almost every project of this size, and it is worth planning around rather than hoping about. Review times vary considerably between Metro and the surrounding counties, and the same project frequently moves faster through plan review in Williamson or Rutherford County than inside Davidson. That difference belongs in the schedule you are given at the start.
- A project that stalled with three trades blaming each other
- A wall you want removed that turns out to be carrying the floor above
- A basement or attic that is square footage you are not allowed to count
- Unpermitted work discovered during a sale or an appraisal
Finishing a basement without addressing water. Framing and drywall over a wall that gets wet is a mold problem with a completion date.
