Hendersonville sits on the shores of Old Hickory Lake, and that lakeside character shapes almost everything we build here. Many homes in neighborhoods like Walton Ferry, Indian Lake, Sanders Ferry, and Cherokee date to the 1970s and 1980s, with solid bones but dated kitchens, closed floor plans, and decks or sunrooms ready for a refresh. Nashville Build Group has worked throughout Sumner County since 2007, and our design-build team specializes in modernizing these established homes while respecting their setting and the views that drew owners to the lake in the first place.
Waterfront and water-view properties bring requests you do not see as often elsewhere: sunroom and porch additions that capture the lake view, exterior renovations that stand up to humidity and sun off the water, and luxury remodeling of primary suites and great rooms. We also build ground-up custom homes on tear-down lots and handle home additions for families who want to stay put rather than chase a tight resale market.
Lakefront work in Hendersonville comes with extra rules. Properties near Old Hickory Lake can fall under Army Corps of Engineers shoreline jurisdiction, and Sumner County enforces setbacks and floodplain requirements that affect where and how you can build. We sort out those constraints early, prepare the surveys and drawings, and pull permits through Sumner County and the City of Hendersonville. More on that process lives on our permitting and inspections page.
On pricing, expect a mid-to-upper kitchen remodel to run $50,000 to $110,000, a sunroom or four-season room addition to land between $45,000 and $120,000, and a primary suite addition to fall in the $110,000 to $260,000 range depending on size and foundation conditions. Lakeside lots sometimes need extra grading or retaining work, which we identify before we quote. Every job is a fixed-price contract backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty.
