Chimney Repair & Masonry in Arlington, TN
Quality chimney repair, masonry leak repair and mortar repair for Arlington homeowners — trusted, family-owned Mid-South masons since 1982 with a 10-year guarantee.
From Arlington's Historic District to Its Newest Subdivisions
Arlington blends small-town history with rapid new growth. You'll find charming older brick near the historic district along with a wave of newer family homes in communities like Arlington Trails, Donelson Farms and Riverwood Farms. Older or newer, both kinds of masonry eventually need a skilled mason — whether it's century-aware mortar work downtown or a chimney crown on a ten-year-old two-story.
Madewell has served the greater Arlington area for decades. We bring honest assessments, color-matched repairs and craftsmanship that holds up to Tennessee weather.
Common Masonry Problems We See in Arlington
Arlington's range of home ages means a range of masonry needs. The most common calls we get here:
- Chimney crown and cap issues on newer construction that's now weathered several seasons.
- Early settlement cracking in subdivisions built on graded clay, especially at corners and brick-over-garage lintels.
- Mortar wear on older homes near the historic core.
- Masonry leaks showing up as ceiling stains and damp fireboxes.
- Brick steps, porches and mailbox columns that have cracked or shifted.
Even newer homes need a mason
Builder-grade chimney crowns and flashing often start leaking within a decade. A proper crown repair and stainless cap solves it for good.
