Donelson reaches east to the Stones River, which separates it from Hermitage, with Lebanon Pike and Elm Hill Pike crossing it and Donelson Pike heading south to the airport. Two Rivers Park and Two Rivers Mansion sit on the north side near the Cumberland, and the WeGo Star commuter train stops at Donelson station. Pennington Bend, home to Opryland and Music Valley, lies to the north in a loop of the river.
Local experts delivering lasting color and craftsmanship
Donelson is an established Nashville neighborhood east of downtown, between the Cumberland River and Nashville International Airport. Much of it filled in after World War II, so the classic Donelson house is a brick ranch on a good-sized yard with wood trim and a low roofline. PaintPro serves Donelson from Spring Hill, about 33 miles away.
Painted brick is one of the most common requests we get on these ranches. Owners want to replace dark red or multicolored brick with white, cream or gray. It works well when the brick is cleaned, allowed to dry fully and coated with products made for masonry. It is also a long-term choice, since painted brick needs maintenance and is hard to undo. Our brick painting page covers the process, and we will tell you plainly if your brick is a poor candidate.
Many Donelson houses are being renovated by new owners, and that usually starts inside. We paint over wood paneling, refinish kitchen cabinets that are solid but dated, and repaint ceilings and walls after layouts are opened up. Older homes often have several layers of paint on trim and doors, some of it oil-based. We sand and prime with a bonding primer so new latex paint grips instead of peeling, and we check for any spots that need patching before the finish coats.
The March 2020 tornado damaged parts of Donelson, and many repaired houses now mix new siding, trim or windows with original materials. Getting new and old surfaces to look the same takes priming bare wood and fresh fiber cement properly before color goes on. For scheduling, Lebanon Pike and Donelson Pike carry heavy traffic, and big events at Opryland and Opry Mills can slow McGavock Pike and Briley Parkway, so we plan crew arrivals around them.

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible job Lupe did on our paint project that included 20ft ceilings. From the beginning, the staff was very easy to work with and was very communicative. When painting began, Lupe arrived on time, was efficient, and was a pleasure to have around. Lupe kept everything clean and organized. The finished result looks amazing. We appreciate all of Lupe’s hard work and respect that he showed our home. We highly recommend PaintPro, and especially Lupe when someone is looking for a talented painter.

We were looking for a company to repaint the outside of our home. Paint Pro did an excellent job. Thomas and James couldn’t be more accommodating. Their crew did an excellent prep, paint and cleanup. We are very happy with the end result and highly recommend. Thank you.

Found Paintpros on Facebook.. was a bit skeptical. Needed a refresh on kitchen cabinets and walls. I seriously was so impressed. Celeste was so wonderful. Trusted her in my home and with the job at hand. I recommend highly! Thanks Celeste 💕

I highly recommend Paint Pro! We could not be happier with the work they did on our kitchen cabinets. The transformation honestly exceeded our expectations. The cabinets look absolutely beautiful, and it feels like we have a brand-new kitchen. The woman who completed the work in our home did a phenomenal job. She was professional, meticulous, and clearly took pride in her work. What impressed us even more was her attention to detail after the main job was finished. She made sure the little touch-ups were addressed and that everything looked right before the project was truly complete. We had previously received a quote of around $40,000 from another company for a kitchen renovation, so we were looking for a more reasonable way to update the space. Paint Pro came in at a fraction of that cost and gave us a result that looks better than we could have imagined. From the quality of the workmanship to the final appearance of our cabinets, we genuinely could not have asked for a better experience. Our kitchen has been completely transformed. We would absolutely use Paint Pro again and highly recommend them to anyone considering having their cabinets refinished or painted.

Yes. Donelson is a neighborhood inside Nashville and Davidson County, governed by Metro. It has its own long history and identity, and older residents still think of it as its own community. For painting, any approvals usually come from an HOA if you have one, or from Metro if you are changing materials.
If the brick is in good shape and you like the color, leaving it alone costs nothing to maintain. Painting makes sense when the brick looks dated or patchy from past repairs. Once painted, it will need repainting every so often. We will look at the brick and mortar at the estimate and give you an honest opinion.
Not directly. Latex applied straight over oil often peels in sheets. We scuff-sand the old finish, clean it and use a bonding primer first. Then the new coats hold. Many Donelson ranches have original oil-based trim and doors, so we test for it during the estimate and plan the prep.
Yes. Donelson Pike near the airport and the roads around Opryland can back up, especially during big events. We set start times to get crews in before the worst of it and park so we do not block your street. If you know about an event on your road, tell us and we will plan around it.
We use Sherwin-Williams paints and primers, chosen for each surface: masonry products for brick, exterior paints for siding and trim, and durable enamels for cabinets and doors. Every job is backed by a written 2-year warranty, and PaintPro is licensed and insured.
