Home/Service Areas/Horn Lake, MS
Horn Lake is about ten minutes from our shop. Most of what we get called for here is the same house at a different address, and after enough of them you stop being surprised by what is behind the wall.
Horn Lake got its charter in March 1973. Three years earlier the census counted 169 people living here. Then between 1980 and 1990 the population went up 110 percent, the fastest growth anywhere in DeSoto County that decade, almost all of it subdivisions built for people who worked in Memphis and wanted a shorter mortgage.
So unlike a town that filled in slowly over eighty years, Horn Lake's housing stock went up in one burst between roughly 1978 and 1995. Everything in it is the same age. The one-piece fiberglass tub surrounds, the mastic-set four-inch wall tile, the laminate counters over particleboard, the oak cabinets, the first-generation vinyl windows. They were all installed within a few years of each other and they are all reaching the end at the same time.
That is genuinely useful when we quote a job here, because we know what is behind the tile before we open it. A cracked fiberglass surround that has been wicking water into the wall for six or seven years is not a guess in this zip code, it is the base case.
The other Horn Lake specific thing is water. The city is named for an oxbow lake three miles west, an abandoned channel the Mississippi left behind when it changed course in the late 1700s, and the ground along Horn Lake Creek drains slowly on top of the fragipan soils the rest of DeSoto County has. On the lower lots that shows up as crawlspace moisture, soft subfloor and rot at the sill long before anybody notices a leak.

"The work they did on my home installing a feature wall going up my staircase is absolutely stunning. Rickie and Anthony also did an outstanding job tiling my guest bathroom!!!"

"Got rid of all my carpet and installed wood flooring and then replaced all of that except 2 rooms with tile. He did quality work and cleaned up after each day. R&R has painted several rooms, installed crown molding and inclosed back porch with windows."
