The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Masonry is hard to change once it is built. Choosing the brick, the mortar color, the bond pattern, the stone and the details in advance prevents expensive surprises and makes the finished work look intentional.

We offer design consultations for homes and businesses in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We bring samples, show how mortar color changes the look of a wall and sketch ideas for patios, fireplaces, walls and facades, with budget guidance at each step.

Why owners choose it

Four things done right.

Samples in your light

Materials look different outside than in a showroom, so we bring samples to your site.

Mortar makes the wall

We show how light, dark and tinted mortar change the same brick.

Sketches you can keep

Simple sketches and notes capture the choices you make.

Budget guidance

Each option has a price range, so the design fits the budget.

Good questions

Masonry Design Consultations: common questions

Do I need a design consultation?

It is optional. For a simple repair you may not need one. For a patio, fireplace or addition, choosing materials and details ahead of time saves headaches.

Can you work with my architect or designer?

Yes. We are glad to work with architects, designers and builders, and we can add masonry knowledge to the plans.

How do I get a price for masonry design consultations?

Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. We confirm what is involved and send a written price, and most projects start with a free visit.
