Solid Masonry for Bartlett's Established Neighborhoods
Bartlett grew quickly through the 1970s, '80s and '90s, and it's full of well-built brick ranches and two-story homes in neighborhoods like Elmore Park, Bartlett Hills, Davies Plantation and Stage Road. Those homes were built to last — but four or five decades of Tennessee weather eventually take a toll on mortar, chimney crowns and brick.
Madewell has served Bartlett for more than forty years. We're the local crew homeowners call when they want honest answers and lasting repairs rather than a high-pressure sales pitch.
Common Masonry Problems We See in Bartlett
Bartlett's housing stock is now at the age where masonry maintenance becomes important. Here's what we're called for most:
- Crumbling, receding mortar joints on 40-to-50-year-old brick that's overdue for tuckpointing.
- Cracked chimney crowns and rusted caps leading to interior leaks and damp fireboxes.
- Spalling brick where years of moisture and freeze-thaw have started flaking the brick faces.
- Settling cracks at corners, garage lintels and around windows.
- Worn front steps and porches that have become uneven or unsafe.
Mortar repair pays off
Repointing failing joints in a Bartlett home now is far cheaper than rebuilding a wall after water gets behind the brick. If your mortar is soft or missing, it's worth a look.
