Brick, stone and mortar in Hendersonville homes
Older masonry — chimneys, stoops, foundation walls — has settled and weathered for decades, and the honest repair is selective rebuild and repointing, not a coat of anything.
Lakeside properties have stone steps, seawalls and retaining walls taking water and freeze; the mortar and the drainage are specified for it.
The ground moves the masonry — clay that pushes a retaining wall, rock that makes a footing, a slope that makes a wall necessary — and the mason reads the ground before the wall.
Sloped lots mean retaining walls, and a block or stone wall holding a yard is engineered and drained or it leans within a few springs.
What the masonry is — veneer over a frame, a solid wall, a chimney, a stone foundation — decides the mortar and the method, and a mason who does not ask has not thought about it.

Why Hendersonville homeowners call a mason
Middle Tennessee has a large stock of genuinely old brick — pre-war homes across Davidson County, and older commercial and civic buildings throughout the region — and the single most damaging thing done to that brick is repointing with modern Portland mortar. Historic brick is softer than the mortar sold in most builders merchants, and the joint is meant to be the sacrificial element. Get it backwards and the wall pushes its damage into the brick faces instead, which spall and cannot be repointed back.
- White efflorescence staining, which indicates water moving through the masonry
- A sagging or rusted steel lintel above a window or a garage opening
- Mortar joints that crumble or can be raked out with a screwdriver
- Stair-step cracking through the mortar joints of a brick wall
Portland mortar on soft historic brick. The most expensive mistake in masonry, and it is irreversible.
