Walls That Stand Straight and Stay Smooth

Framing, drywall installation, and interior and exterior painting services in Nashville, Tennessee.

Uneven walls, visible seams in drywall, and paint that peels or shows brush marks make a space look unfinished no matter how much effort you put into the rest of the room. In Nashville, where homes range from older structures with plaster walls to newer builds with standard drywall, the quality of framing, finishing, and painting determines how long the work holds up. Burks and Company, INC provides structural framing, drywall installation and finishing, and interior and exterior painting for residential and commercial properties in Nashville.

We frame walls to support load-bearing requirements, hang drywall with tight seams, and finish joints so they disappear once painted. Painting includes surface prep, priming, and two coats applied with rollers or sprayers depending on the surface. You choose between flat, eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss finishes based on the room and how much wear the walls will take.

How Framing, Drywall, and Paint Come Together

We start by framing walls using dimensional lumber, checking for plumb and square as we go. In Nashville, where settling and moisture can shift older framing, we make sure new walls tie into existing structure without creating stress points. Once framing is inspected and approved, we hang drywall, tape seams, and apply joint compound in multiple layers.

After sanding, you will notice that seams are invisible and the surface feels smooth when you run your hand across it. We prime before painting to seal the drywall and create a uniform base, then apply finish coats that look even under natural and artificial light.

Exterior painting includes pressure washing, scraping loose paint, and priming bare wood or siding before topcoats go on. We do not paint over failing surfaces. The work is prepped to last through Nashville summers and wet winters without peeling or blistering. This sets up the questions people ask before hiring someone to paint or hang drywall.

Questions That Come Up During Planning

Most homeowners and business owners want to know how long the work takes, whether furniture needs to be moved, and what kind of prep is involved. These are the practical concerns we address before starting.

How long does it take to drywall and paint a room?
A single room typically takes three to five days. That includes hanging drywall, taping, mudding, sanding, priming, and two finish coats with drying time between each step.
Do you move furniture before painting?
We move smaller items and cover furniture with drop cloths. You should move large or fragile items before we arrive.
What happens if the drywall has cracks or holes?
We repair them before painting. Small holes get patched with compound, and larger damage may require cutting out sections and installing new drywall. In Nashville homes, we often see cracks from settling that need to be addressed before paint goes on.
What type of paint should I use in bathrooms?
Semi-gloss or satin finishes resist moisture better than flat or eggshell. They also wipe clean without damaging the surface.
Can you paint exterior siding in any season?
We avoid painting when temperatures drop below 50 degrees or during heavy rain. Paint needs time to cure, and cold or wet conditions interfere with that process.
