Repair that respects the original, Franklin.
Older Tennessee brick was laid with softer mortar than most modern mixes. Hard, modern mortar can crack the very brick it was meant to protect. Our approach is to read the wall first: test the mortar, match the color and joint profile and replace only what has failed. The goal is a repair that disappears and a wall that keeps breathing for another century.
Franklin is about 17 miles from downtown Nashville, in Williamson County.
