Remodeling a Donelson house: what the structure tells us
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.
Rental remodels are durable finishes done fast between tenants — plank, quartz, tile showers — and the contractor prices them for turnover.
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.
What the house is built of — bearing walls in a two-story, a slab under the kitchen, a bonus room over the garage — decides what can move, and the drawing is honest about it.
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.

The other regional constant is unpermitted work. A great many Nashville homes have a finished basement, an enclosed porch or a converted garage that was never permitted, and it surfaces at appraisal or at closing rather than while somebody is living there. Bringing it into compliance retroactively is possible and considerably more expensive than doing it properly the first time.
- 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
- A layout that fights you every day
Converting space without permitting it. Unpermitted square footage does not count at appraisal, which removes most of the value you paid for.
