Older brick homes have soft, handmade materials and details that need a gentler hand. Here is how we care for them.
Nashville has many brick homes that are a century old or more. Their walls were laid with soft lime mortar and handmade brick, and they breathe in a way modern cement walls do not. The wrong repair, such as hard mortar or harsh cleaning, can harm them.
We start with careful study. We match mortar hardness, color and joint profile, source salvaged brick when needed and clean with low pressure. Each repair is made to last and to look as though it was always part of the house.
