Custom home builder in Franklin County, TN

Franklin County sits in the southern tier of Middle Tennessee, with Winchester as its county seat and Tullahoma, Decherd, and Cowan among its communities. The county's terrain shifts from the Highland Rim plateau into the Cumberland foothills, giving many properties a mix of flat bottomland and sloped hillside lots that affect drainage and roof pitch decisions. The housing stock here skews older, with a significant share of homes built before 1980 that carry original roofing systems, aging gutters, and interiors that have not been updated in decades. Franklin County's position at the edge of the Nashville metro's influence means it sees less new construction pressure than counties to the north, but steady demand for roofing replacement and residential remodels on its existing housing stock.

Replacing Aging Roofs and Updating Older Homes Across Franklin County

Franklin County's housing stock tells a clear story about deferred maintenance. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s in Winchester and Decherd have often had roofing repairs done in sections over the years, leaving mismatched shingle ages and hidden decking problems underneath. When we do a full tear-off on these homes, we inspect every board of the sheathing before new materials go down. That step is not optional on a home this age.

The county's terrain adds a layer of complexity to roofing and construction work. Properties along the Highland Rim edge and in the foothills near Cowan have sloped lots where water runoff direction matters for both roofing drainage and foundation planning. Gutters on these homes have to be sized and pitched correctly to move water away from the foundation, and many of the original systems on older Franklin County homes are not doing that job.

Residential remodels in Tullahoma and Winchester are driven by homeowners who want to update their existing homes rather than sell into a limited market. We handle kitchen and bathroom remodels, structural updates, and outdoor living additions as connected projects. Our in-house designer works through the layout so the finished space functions the way the homeowner actually uses it, not just the way the original 1960s floor plan was drawn.

Every service, available in Franklin County, TN

Residential roofing is the primary service need in Franklin County, where a large share of the housing stock predates 1980 and carries original or heavily patched shingle systems that are well past their useful life. Residential remodels are active in Winchester and Tullahoma, where homeowners are updating older homes with new kitchens, bathrooms, and structural improvements. Gutter and gutter guard installation is a consistent need across the county, particularly on older homes where original gutters are undersized or have pulled away from the fascia over time. Outdoor living spaces are a growing request on Franklin County's larger rural lots, where covered patios and screened porches add usable square footage without the cost of a full addition.

Rob Brainard and Denali did an outstanding job for us in building our barndominium. Their work is impeccable and very creative. Rob kept us updated throughout the entire process and made the process so easy for us! We get tons of compliments on the custom trim work, especially the custom built vent-a-hood over our cook top and the custom built mantle. We also get lots of compliments on the extra touches he added to our wraparound porches. I highly recommend Rob and Denali for any construction project you may have!

Custom Home Builder FAQ for Franklin County, TN

Common questions from Franklin County, TN customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Homes built before 1980 in Franklin County often have shingle systems that have been repaired in sections over many years, which can make the roof look acceptable from the ground while hiding decking damage and ventilation problems underneath. A full inspection that includes the attic and the deck surface gives you an accurate picture. In most cases, a home this age with a patched roof is a candidate for full replacement rather than another round of repairs.

Original gutters on older Franklin County homes are frequently undersized for the volume of rainfall Middle Tennessee delivers, and many have pulled away from the fascia as the wood behind them has rotted over time. Gutters that are not draining correctly push water behind the fascia and into the soffit, which causes structural damage that looks like a roofing problem but starts at the gutter line. Replacement with properly sized gutters and gutter guards stops that cycle.

Yes. We complete residential remodels in Tullahoma and Winchester, including kitchen updates, bathroom renovations, and structural improvements on homes built in the 1950s through 1970s. Our in-house designer works through the layout to make sure the updated space functions the way the homeowner uses it today, not the way the original floor plan was drawn 60 years ago.

Yes. Sloped lots near Cowan and along the Highland Rim edge require outdoor structures that account for the grade rather than sitting flat. We design and build covered patios, screened porches, and deck structures that step with the terrain and drain correctly. Our in-house designer handles the layout so the structure connects to the home's existing footprint without creating drainage problems.
