Local crews, matched mortar, published pricing. Call (615) 558-8640 or send the form below.
La Vergne grew faster than any Rutherford County town in the 1990s, and most of that growth was brick-front starter homes laid at production speed. Thirty years later the bill is coming due street by street: joints eroded to the depth of a fingernail, weep holes mortared shut by the original crews, lintels rusting under front-window spans, and veneer cracking where builders skipped expansion joints on long walls. None of this is exotic. It is exactly what production brickwork does at this age, and it is the most predictable repair pool in the county.
That predictability is why Murfreesboro Masonry Co. publishes prices instead of quoting blind. A Lake Forest repoint looks like the last forty Lake Forest repoints: similar wall heights, similar mortar, similar wear pattern on the weather side. Our cost guide lists the ranges, our crews are twenty minutes down I-24 from the Murfreesboro shop, and our phone line is a local 615 number in the La Vergne rate center. The Nashville brands ranking for La Vergne searches quote from a different county.
Beyond repairs, La Vergne yards are the county’s busiest for functional installs: retaining walls holding back the grade between neighboring lots, brick mailboxes replacing rotted posts along Waldron Road, and small patio extensions. Same crews, same published pricing, and the drive time is short enough that small jobs are worth our while.
Weep holes, the hidden La Vergne problem
La Vergne’s 1990s builders commonly bricked over the weep holes at the base of the veneer, so walls here trap water that should drain. If your brick stays dark for days after rain, have the weeps opened during any repoint; it is a cheap add-on that stops the freeze damage cycle at the source.

Common questions from La Vergne callers
How much does brick repair cost in La Vergne?
Small repairs like re-laying loose bricks on steps or a mailbox start around $400. Repointing runs $8 to $15 per square foot of wall. A rusted lintel replacement typically lands between $500 and $1,200 per opening. The full table is on our cost page, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Why is the mortar falling out of my 1990s house already?
Production-era mortar was often mixed rich in sand and laid in weather that did not let it cure properly. Thirty years of Middle Tennessee freeze-thaw finishes the job. The brick itself is usually fine; grinding the failed joints out to a proper depth and repointing with a matched mix restores the wall for decades.
Can you rebuild a mailbox a car knocked over on Waldron Road?
Yes, that is one of our most common La Vergne calls. A standard rebuild on the existing footing runs $1,100 to $1,800 depending on brick match and whether the footing survived. Insurance often covers vehicle strikes; we photograph and document the damage for your claim at no charge.
Do you build retaining walls between sloped lots?
Yes. Segmental block and mortared stone walls up to four feet are routine; anything taller gets an engineered design first, which we arrange. La Vergne’s grade changes between lots make this the town where we build the most walls, and the published range is $30 to $60 per square foot of wall face.
