Mascot’s Eastern Knox County Homes Deserve Quality Finishes
Mascot is a residential community on the eastern edge of Knox County where established homes and spacious lots define the neighborhood character. The homes here—mostly 1980s and 1990s construction with some newer builds—represent strong value and respond well to professional painting updates.
Cutting Edge Painting serves Mascot homeowners with the same owner-operated attention we bring to every project in the Knoxville area.
Mascot’s housing reflects the community’s evolution over the past four decades. The established homes along Mascot Road and the surrounding side streets were primarily built between the early 1980s and late 1990s—brick ranches, vinyl-sided two-stories, and split-levels on generous lots with mature landscaping. Many of these homes still have their original exterior paint or siding finishes, with caulk that has cracked, trim that has weathered, and fascia boards showing early signs of moisture damage from years of East Tennessee humidity. The interiors frequently feature dated finishes: flat builder-grade paint on walls, oil-based coatings on trim and doors that have yellowed, and oak or maple kitchen cabinets that darken the space.
Newer residential development in the area brings its own set of needs. Production-built homes often come with the cheapest available finishes—flat interior paint that scuffs on contact, exterior coatings that chalk and fade within three to four years, and cabinet finishes that wear through at touch points. Upgrading these to professional-grade Sherwin-Williams products is one of the most cost-effective improvements a Mascot homeowner can make, with visible results that last years longer than what the builder installed.
Mascot Painting Services
Interior Painting — Full repaints with Sherwin-Williams premium products. We address the common prep needs of homes in this age range—nail pops and drywall cracks from settling, oil-based trim that needs bonding primer before recoating, textured ceilings that date the interior, and walls with multiple patch jobs that need skim coating for a smooth, uniform finish. We work room by room with full protection of your floors, furniture, and fixtures.
Exterior Painting — Material-specific prep and high-build acrylic coatings selected for East Tennessee weather conditions. Every exterior project starts with thorough pressure washing, followed by scraping, sanding, priming bare wood, and caulking every joint and gap. Homes with mixed brick-and-siding construction receive surface-specific treatment on each section. Shaded elevations get mildew-resistant formulations, while sun-hammered sides receive UV-protective coatings that hold color and resist chalking.
Cabinet Refinishing — Spray-applied catalyzed conversion varnish in any color. This factory-grade finish is harder, smoother, and more chemical-resistant than anything a brush or roller can produce. We remove every door and drawer front, prep all surfaces, spray in controlled conditions, and reinstall with precision. Dated oak and maple kitchens become bright, modern spaces in about a week—without demolition or the cost of a full renovation.
Deck and Outdoor Staining — Penetrating stains and sealers for Mascot’s generous outdoor living spaces. We clean and brighten the wood before application, removing gray oxidation and mildew so the stain penetrates evenly and bonds to a sound surface. Fences, pergolas, and outbuildings can be included in the same project for efficiency.
Owner-Operated From Start to Finish
Jesse Castillo handles every Mascot project directly—walkthrough, estimate, execution, and final inspection. Every estimate is a line-item document that specifies products, prep work, number of coats, and pricing for each area of the project. You see exactly what is included before work begins, and if anything changes during execution, Jesse discusses it with you first. That transparency eliminates the guesswork and miscommunication that larger painting companies introduce with layers of salespeople, project managers, and subcontracted crews.
When you hire Cutting Edge, the person who assessed your home is the person doing the work. That direct accountability is rare in the industry, and it is the foundation of every Mascot project we deliver.
