How the Recent Nashville Winter Storm Can Damage Your Home’s Exterior Paint

The recent winter storm that swept through Nashville, Tennessee brought freezing temperatures, snow accumulation, ice, and heavy moisture — all of which can quietly damage your home’s exterior paint. While many homeowners focus on roof damage or fallen branches, one of the most overlooked issues after a storm is compromised exterior paint.

When temperatures fluctuate between freezing nights and warmer daytime thaws, moisture seeps into small cracks in your siding and trim. As that moisture freezes, it expands. This freeze-thaw cycle causes paint to blister, peel, and crack. Over time, this exposes bare wood or siding to further moisture intrusion, leading to rot, mildew, and costly repairs.
