Respecting Hernando's History and Its New Growth
As the DeSoto County seat, Hernando is known for its beautiful historic courthouse square and tree-lined streets, surrounded by a growing ring of newer family neighborhoods. That gives us the full spectrum of masonry work — from careful, correct mortar repair on older homes near the square to chimney crown and flashing repairs on newer construction.
Madewell brings four decades of craftsmanship to Hernando, with the experience to handle historic brick properly and the honesty homeowners remember and recommend.
Common Masonry Problems We See in Hernando
Hernando's mix of historic and newer homes brings needs such as:
- Historic mortar repair on older brick that requires a softer, breathable mix — never modern high-cement mortar.
- Chimney crown, cap and flashing repair on both older and newer homes.
- Settlement cracking from DeSoto County clay soils.
- Spalling and efflorescence from moisture and humidity.
- Brick steps, porches and column restoration on classic square-area homes.
