Remodeling a Old Hickory house: what the structure tells us
Pre-war houses are remodeled around their bones — plaster, tall windows, original floors — and the work is opening a kitchen, adding a bath and updating systems without erasing what makes the house worth owning.
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.
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.
In the historic district exterior changes are reviewed, and an addition is designed to the guidelines; interior work is free, and a remodeler who has been through the review keeps the schedule.
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 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
Skipping the structural engineer. A beam sized by eye is a beam nobody can inspect or insure, and not something a future buyer will accept.
