Eagleville holds something the rest of Rutherford County mostly lost: an intact early-1900s Main Street of structural brick storefronts, plus a ring of farmhouses of the same vintage. This is restoration territory. Structural brick from that era was fired softer and laid in lime mortar, and it survives beautifully as long as nobody repairs it with modern hardware-store mix. The white crusts, spalled faces, and blown joints we see on historic brick around here are usually old bad repairs, not old brick. Undoing that damage and repointing in matched lime mortar is skilled, slow, satisfying work, and almost nobody serving this county offers it.
Murfreesboro Masonry Co. does, and Eagleville is twenty minutes out Highway 99 past Rockvale. For the Main Street buildings that means facade repointing, parapet and cornice brick stabilization, and window-arch repairs done in mortar the wall can live with. For the farmhouses it means chimneys, foundation piers, and porch columns. For newer Eagleville homes it means the standard county list, mailboxes, steps, and veneer repairs, at the same published prices as everywhere else.
A practical word on cost: lime-mortar restoration prices above production repointing because the raking is by hand and the mortar is batched per wall. It is on our cost page anyway, in its own line. Owners of old buildings deserve a number before a sales visit, same as everyone else.
The one thing that ruins old brick
If you own pre-war brick in Eagleville, the single most damaging thing that can happen to it is a well-meaning repair in modern Portland mortar. Hard mortar makes soft brick take all the seasonal movement, and the brick loses. Ask any bidder what mortar they will use and how they will match it; if the answer is a bag brand and a shrug, keep calling.

Historic brick questions from Eagleville
What does historic repointing cost in Eagleville?
Lime-mortar restoration repointing runs $15 to $25 per square foot of wall face, above the $8 to $15 production range, because the joints are raked by hand and the mortar is custom-batched and color-matched. A typical storefront facade lands in the $4,000 to $10,000 range. The line is on our published cost page.
How do you know what mortar an old wall needs?
We take a mortar sample, break it down, and match the binder ratio and sand color against test batches, then cure a sample joint on the wall before committing. Softer than the brick is the rule. It is a day of patience up front that decides whether the repair lasts fifty years or five.
Can you stabilize a leaning chimney on a farmhouse?
Usually, yes. If the lean is confined to the stack above the roofline, we dismantle to sound courses and rebuild plumb, reusing the original brick where it is solid. A lean that starts below the roofline needs a structural look first, and we say so rather than stack new brick on a moving base.
Do you handle regular repairs in Eagleville too, or just historic work?
Both. Mailboxes, steps, veneer crack repairs, and retaining walls in Eagleville price straight off the same published table as the rest of the county. The historic capability is an addition, not a specialty tax on ordinary work.
