24 years ago, our world was shattered. Thousands of lives were taken, and a city—and a nation—were left in mourning. Today and always, we carry their stories, their memories, and their spirit in our hearts. We remember the faces, the voices, the skyline we lost, and the love that endures beyond the pain. In loving memory of every soul we lost on September 11, 2001.

✨ Style with family at heart ✨
When it comes to upgrading your home, doors and windows aren’t just details—they’re the statement pieces that elevate comfort and curb appeal 🏡✨.

That’s why so many Middle Tennessee families choose Pella Windows & Doors of Nashville. For over 50 years, this locally owned business (part of the legendary Pella brand now celebrating 100 years 🎉) has been transforming homes with craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and timeless design.

Owner Ben Talbot says it best:
💬 “At Pella, we say it all the time—we’re in the people business; we just happen to sell windows and doors.”

From the first showroom visit to the final installation, their team takes a hands-on, collaborative approach to bring every vision to life 🙌.

💬 “We specialize in high-end window and door solutions for both new construction and replacement projects,” Ben shares. “Whether it’s a single home, a multifamily development, or a custom build—we’ve got products and services for every application.”

And they’re always ahead of the curve 👀.
💬 “In 2025, large expanses of glass and minimal frames are in high demand, especially for homeowners wanting to blend indoor and outdoor living. Energy-efficient glass, smart-home integration, and built-in security features are also on the rise.”

But what truly sets them apart? Their heart ❤️.
💬 “While we’re known for selling windows and doors, we believe our greater purpose is serving people.”

If you’re ready for high-end windows and doors with a family touch, Nashville’s Pella team is the name to know.

🎨✨ Paint Like a Pro ✨🎨
Ready to refresh your space with a flawless new look? A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a room—but getting that professional finish takes more than just grabbing a brush.

We caught up with Dylan Ritter & Scout Turner, owners of CertaPro Painters of Nashville & Middle TN, who shared their expert tips for achieving a perfect paint job:

🛠️ TOOLS
✔️ Choose the right roller (heavier nap for textured walls, low nap for smooth walls).
✔️ Invest in angled brushes for tricky trim.
✔️ Don’t forget essentials like drop cloths, ladders, putty knives & painter’s tape.

🧽 PREP LIKE A PRO
✔️ Cover or remove furniture.
✔️ Clean walls (TSP for greasy spots).
✔️ Sand, caulk, patch, and tape before painting.

🎨 PAINTING TIPS
✔️ Always prime problem areas (stains, raw wood, high traffic spots).
✔️ Pick the right finish (high sheen = sleek, low sheen = subtle).
✔️ Paint order: ceilings → walls → trim.
✔️ Store paint properly & clean tools for reuse.

🧼 CLEAN-UP
✔️ Wait 4–6 hrs before moving furniture back.
✔️ Wait 24–48 hrs before hanging anything on your fresh walls.

Then… kick back and enjoy your refreshed space. ✨🏡
