Masonry Installation in Franklin

Franklin is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, but it also has a genuine historic downtown core with Civil War-era brick buildings that require careful, historically sensitive masonry work. The outer areas are filled with newer subdivisions built from the late 1990s to today, many using brick veneer construction. The contrast between historic Main Street preservation work and new residential installation makes Franklin one of the more varied masonry markets in Middle Tennessee. The city takes its historic district seriously, so material choices and mortar mixes matter more here than in most suburbs.

Nashville sits on heavy clay soil that swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries out. That constant movement cracks foundations, shifts retaining walls, and pulls mortar joints apart — especially in older neighborhoods like Inglewood and East Nashville where houses were built in the 1940s and 1950s. When masonry fails here, water gets in fast, and the damage compounds every season.

We start by looking at what the soil and structure are actually doing before we touch a single brick. A lot of contractors skip that step and just patch what they can see — six months later you're calling someone else because the root problem is still there.
