We stain brick, block, stone, and precast wherever the project makes sense to run. Seventy-two towns across twelve states are listed below, state by state. Type yours into the search and it comes straight up.
That does not mean we will not come. This page lists the towns we have documented, not the edge of where the crews go, and distance is a line item on a large project rather than a reason to say no. Tell us the building and we will give you a straight answer.
Ask about your townGeorgia work is centered on the Atlanta metro, which has as much good brick per block as anywhere on this page. Crews travel for it rather than running a local route out of a Georgia yard, so a project here is arranged around the building and the calendar: tell us what it is and when it has to happen, and we will tell you plainly what we can commit to.
Alpharetta splits between the older brick along Main Street downtown and the newer brick and stone around Avalon, and the two rarely want the same thing. Color changes dominate on the older stock; on the newer builds it is usually a delivery that never matched the run beside it.
From the Inman Park and Virginia-Highland bungalows to the industrial brick around Ponce City Market, Atlanta holds more brick per block than almost anywhere we work. Staining resets the color on all of it without laying down a film, which is what matters on a wall that has been standing since before the BeltLine was a rail bed.
Buckhead brick is estate scale, the Tuxedo Park and West Paces Ferry houses in particular, where a full exterior color change is a large job done once. The smaller calls come from the same addresses: a chimney, a garden wall, an addition that never matched.
The older masonry around Decatur Square and the Agnes Scott campus is exactly the brick staining was built for, old, sound, and the wrong color for the way the block reads now. Stain keeps the wall breathing, which is the whole argument on masonry that age.
Around the Marietta Square the brick is historic and the request is usually evening out a wall rather than changing it, blending a repair or knocking back heavy mottling. Out in the newer neighborhoods it is straight color change work.
Roswell's Canton Street district and the mill housing below it run to old brick, and most of our work there is correction: a repointed joint standing out, a patch that never matched. The subdivisions east of town bring the ordinary whole-house color changes.
Sandy Springs is mid-century brick ranches in quantity, most of them in colors chosen around 1965. A full stain changes the entire exterior for a fraction of re-cladding and never touches the masonry itself.
Chicago is the closest of the metros we work outside Indiana, about three hours up I-65 from the shop, which makes it the easiest one to put a crew on. Chicago common brick is also the strongest case for staining anywhere in the Midwest, because a freeze-thaw winter punishes any wall that has been sealed under a film.
Chicago common brick is its own material and the city is built out of it, the Logan Square two-flats, the Lincoln Park greystones, the outfield wall at Wrigley. Stain is the only color option that leaves the face porous, which is the difference between a wall that dries out after a February thaw and one that spalls.
Evanston brick runs from the Northwestern campus down through the older lakefront blocks, most of it a century old and much of it patched in stages. The usual ask is blending, getting replacement brick to sit inside an original wall so the repair stops being the first thing anyone sees.
Hinsdale's historic district is brick and Tudor, and color there is a considered decision rather than an impulse. That is why the job starts with a stained sample panel on your own wall, not a chip on a table.
Around Market Square and the older estate blocks the masonry is old, expensive, and worth protecting, which rules out anything that puts a film on it. Stain changes the color and leaves the brick doing what it has done since it went up.
Naperville is two eras of brick: the older work near Naper Settlement and the Riverwalk, and thirty years of subdivision masonry out past it. Color change work dominates the newer stock, matching and preservation the older.
Oak Park is a working museum of brick with the Wright Home and Studio and Unity Temple at the center of it, and the standard for what you do to a wall here is high. Stain soaks into the brick instead of sitting on top of it, which is the distinction that matters when a wall is this old.
Wilmette brick sits between the Baha'i House of Worship and the lake, mostly older housing stock in colors that have not moved in decades. Full exterior changes are the common job and fireplaces are the common follow-up.
Winnetka runs to brick and Tudor on large lots, and the request is usually to warm a wall that fired too pink or to even out heavy mottling. Whole-house changes land on the houses where the roof and the windows are already done and the brick is the last thing left.
Indiana has our deepest coverage. The crews are based here, so this is where sample panels, site visits and small last-minute jobs happen fastest, and anywhere inside about a two-hour drive is routine. The towns below are where we work most; the rest of the state is open for a project that justifies the trip.
Avon is Hendricks County subdivision brick, most of it raised between the late nineties and now, and the calls are color changes on the oldest of it. Builder corrections come through here too, usually a delivery that arrived off color.
Bloomington limestone is the famous part, but the brick around the Indiana University campus and the older near-west blocks is where our work is. Staining evens out a wall that has been patched more than once, without laying a film over any of it.
Brownsburg is newer west-side brick and most of what we do here is a color reset on houses that have hit twenty years. Small scopes are common: a chimney, a porch column, an addition that has to disappear into the original wall.
Home base, which mostly changes the logistics: crews stage here, so sample panels and site visits turn around faster in Carmel than anywhere else on this list. The Arts and Design District brick and the neighborhoods off the Monon send both jobs, whole-house color changes and the small corrections underneath them.
Columbus is a serious architecture town, Saarinen and Weese and a downtown people drive here to look at, and brick carries a lot of how it reads. The work is exacting for that reason, because in Columbus a wall sitting slightly off color gets noticed.
Evansville sits in the far southwest corner of the state, closer to Kentucky than to Indianapolis, and the Riverside historic district downtown is brick almost throughout. Much of that stock is Ohio River commercial brick that has been repainted more than once, and stripping it back to stain is a different proposition from painting it again.
Fishers is established brick from the nineties and two thousands, and the common request is a color that has simply stopped feeling current. Interior brick and fireplaces come up more often here than elsewhere, usually as the second job once the outside is done.
Fort Wayne's older brick, downtown and through the West Central district, is a century or more old and heavily repointed. Staining fresh mortar so a repointed joint stops standing out is as much of the work here as changing a color.
Franklin's courthouse square and the streets off it are old brick, and the work there runs to preservation: matching a replacement unit, blending a patch, evening out a wall. The newer Johnson County subdivisions bring the standard color change jobs.
Greenwood is south-side brick, a lot of it from the eighties and nineties, and the ask is almost always a full exterior color change. It is the cheapest way to make a house look like a different house without touching the structure.
The metro is our largest single service area and the work splits three ways: whole-home color changes on the north side around Meridian Hills and Crow's Nest, facade work on commercial and institutional buildings, and color corrections for builders finishing new construction. There is a full page on the Indianapolis brick and masonry staining work.
Between the older brick downtown and the Purdue campus across the river, Lafayette carries a lot of aging masonry that has been patched in stages. Blending those patches back into one wall is most of what we get called for.
Lebanon's square is old brick and the subdivisions off it are new brick, and the two want opposite things. One wants a repair to disappear, the other wants the whole house to change color.
Around the Hamilton County courthouse square the masonry is old enough that staining is a preservation tool, matching replacement brick and staining fresh mortar so a repointed joint stops reading. Out in the newer subdivisions it is the same color change work as the rest of the county.
Plainfield is newer residential brick plus the distribution buildings along Ronald Reagan Parkway, which brings commercial facade work alongside the houses. Residential calls are color changes; the commercial ones are usually about making a very large elevation read as one color again.
A large share of Westfield work comes through builders and brick distributors rather than homeowners, often a delivery that arrived off color or an addition that does not match the original run. These are small scopes scheduled around a closing date, and Grand Park weekends dictate more of our routing here than anyone expects.
Whitestown is one of the fastest-growing towns in the state and it is nearly all new brick, so the work is correction rather than change. A run that came in off color, a patch on a house about to close, an elevation that does not match its neighbor.
Zionsville's brick Main Street sets the expectation, and the request here is more often to make existing brick even than to make it different: knocking back mottling, warming a wall that fired too pink, blending a repair. Whole-house color changes happen too, usually as the last item after the roof and the trim are already done.
Louisville is about two hours down I-65, which makes Kentucky the shortest out-of-state drive on this page. Work here is arranged around the building and the calendar rather than run off a standing local route: tell us what the wall is and when it has to be finished, and we will say plainly what we can commit to.
Lexington brick runs from the antebellum stock around Gratz Park to the farm outbuildings that were laid up in the same material as the houses. A stain evens out a wall that has been repointed in stages without sealing a face that still needs to breathe.
Old Louisville is one of the largest Victorian districts in the country and nearly all of it is brick, a great deal of which was painted at some point by an owner who wanted a change. Taking that film off and staining the brick underneath is a different job from repainting, and it is the one this material was built for.
Michigan is our most documented state outside Indiana. A hospital, a high rise in Canton on the Detroit side, and Bronson Place are all in the portfolio, and the work is arranged around the building and the calendar rather than run off a standing local route.
Detroit is built out of brick that outlasted the purpose it went up for, and nowhere shows it like the Indian Village and Boston-Edison houses, where one block can carry four separate repair campaigns. Bringing those back to a single wall, without sealing a hundred-year-old face under a film, is the whole of the job here.
Minneapolis is the furthest north we work and a project there is planned as a trip. Work here is arranged around the building and the calendar rather than run off a standing local route, which on a Minnesota job mostly means agreeing the window before the weather closes it.
Minneapolis brick takes a freeze-thaw beating few of our other markets can match, and the milling-era buildings along the river near St. Anthony Main show what a century of it does to a face. Stain leaves the brick vapor-open, so a wall dries out between thaws instead of holding water behind a coating.
St. Louis is roughly four hours west and it sits on as much brick as anywhere we work, most of it local red clay fired from the Mississippi bluffs. Work here is arranged around the building and the calendar rather than run off a standing local route.
St. Louis red brick is a local material and the Soulard and Lafayette Square blocks are built out of almost nothing else. Matching an addition or a rebuilt parapet back into it is the request we get most often here, because the original run has not been fired in decades.
Ohio appears in the portfolio more than any state except Indiana and Michigan: a library, a fire station, a university at Youngstown, and a retail facade in Pickerington outside Columbus. Work here is arranged around the building and the calendar rather than run off a standing local route.
Over-the-Rhine holds one of the densest collections of nineteenth century Italianate brick anywhere, and much of it has come back from decades of neglect one building at a time. Staining gives a restored facade its color without a film that would trap moisture in a wall that old.
Cleveland brick is industrial as often as residential, the Ohio City and Tremont blocks alongside warehouse stock that has been converted rather than torn down. A conversion tends to inherit several different brick repairs on one elevation, and reconciling those is the work.
We have a finished retail facade in Pickerington on the east side of the metro, so Columbus is ground we have already worked. German Village alone is thousands of brick houses on brick streets, and the color question there gets settled by a sample panel on the actual wall rather than from a fan deck.
The Oregon District is the oldest surviving neighborhood in Dayton and it is almost entirely brick, some of it older than the Civil War. Old, sound, wrong-colored brick is the plainest case for stain there is, because nothing has to come off the wall for the color to change.
Pennsylvania is in the portfolio twice, a funeral home and a house in Sewickley just outside Pittsburgh. Work here is arranged around the building and the calendar rather than run off a standing local route.
Pittsburgh brick sits on hillsides in Lawrenceville and on the South Side, much of it darkened by a century that ran on coal, and cleaning by itself rarely returns a wall to one color. The house we finished in Sewickley is the same stock and the same weather, so neither is new to us.
Nashville is a straight run down I-65 and it is the metro we get asked about most outside Indiana. Projects here are arranged rather than run off a standing local route, so the scheduling conversation happens first and everything after it is the same as anywhere else: site visit, water test, sample panel on your own wall, then a written quote.
Belle Meade is estate brick on large lots, so the jobs are correspondingly large: a full exterior color change done once, chosen off a sample panel on the house itself. Garden walls, chimneys and pool houses usually come along with it.
Brentwood brick is newer than Nashville's and the request is almost always a color that has aged out rather than a wall that has failed. Around Maryland Farms the calls turn commercial, usually an office facade that has gone patchy.
Franklin's Main Street historic district and the streets around Carnton hold some of the best-kept old brick in Tennessee, and nothing goes on those walls that seals them. Stain changes the color and leaves the masonry breathing, which is the only reason it comes up here at all.
Green Hills is mid-century ranches and split-levels in the colors they were built with. A full stain resets the exterior without re-cladding, and it is the single largest change you can make to one of those houses.
Hendersonville is lakeside subdivision brick from the eighties onward and the work is straight color change. Fireplaces are a frequent follow-up once the outside is finished.
Mount Juliet has grown fast enough that most of its brick is under twenty years old, so the calls skew to builder corrections rather than homeowner color changes. A run that arrived off color, an addition that has to match, a complaint before a closing.
Nashville brick runs from the housing stock in Germantown and East Nashville to the civic masonry around Union Station and the Ryman, and much of it is old, sound, and the wrong color for what the block has become. Stain is the option that changes it without putting a film on a hundred-year-old wall.
Nolensville is new construction on old road frontage, which means most of the brick here has never been touched. The work is correction: matching a patch, evening a run, fixing a delivery that came in off color.
Texas is the largest market we work outside Indiana, and the requests come out of four metros: Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. A Texas project is a planned trip, staged and scheduled around the job itself rather than fitted into a route, which suits the scale the work here usually runs at.
Alamo Heights runs to older brick and stone on mature lots, and the work is usually evening out a wall rather than changing it. Full color changes land on the houses that have already had everything else done.
Bellaire is a teardown-and-rebuild town, which means new brick going up beside sixty-year-old brick more or less constantly. Making the two read as one street is most of what we are asked to do here.
Boerne is Hill Country limestone as much as brick, so the questions here are about what stain will and will not do on stone. The answer depends on the substrate, which is why every job starts with a water test.
Colleyville is large-lot brick, most of it from the nineties, and the request is a full exterior color change on a house that is otherwise in good shape. Chimneys and detached garages come with it.
Swiss Avenue, Munger Place and the older blocks east of downtown hold Dallas's best brick, most of it near a century old. The newer half of the metro brings an entirely different job, straight color changes on brick that is simply the wrong shade.
Around the Stockyards and Sundance Square the masonry is old and the work is preservation-flavored: matching replacement units, staining new mortar, evening out a wall that has been patched. The residential side of the city is ordinary color change work.
Frisco is almost entirely new brick, so the work here is builder-side: a delivery that arrived off color, an elevation that does not match the one beside it, a correction before a closing. Scopes are small and they get scheduled around the closing date rather than around ours.
Grapevine's Main Street historic district is brick and it is looked after, so the work there is careful and small. The neighborhoods around it bring standard whole-house color changes.
Highland Park brick is old, expensive and closely looked at, so the color decision gets made off a stained sample on the actual wall rather than a chip. Full exterior changes and garden wall work come out of the same few blocks.
The Rice campus and the River Oaks blocks are the brick people picture, but the Heights bungalows and the older wards are where the color work is. Houston humidity is also the argument against film-forming coatings, and we have that conversation here more than anywhere.
The Gruene historic district is old masonry and it is protected, so anything done to it has to leave the wall breathing. Outside it, New Braunfels is newer brick and straightforward color change work.
Historic downtown Plano is old brick and everything around it is eighties and nineties brick that has aged out of its color. The second is most of the work, and a full stain is the least invasive way to do it.
The Pearl and the King William historic district are the brick people know, and both are the kind of old, sound masonry stain suits. Newer parts of the city bring standard residential color changes.
Southlake Town Square set the brick vocabulary for the town and the houses followed it, which means a lot of similar brick in similar colors. The owners who want out of that are the ones who call.
The Imperial Sugar site anchors the old brick in town and everything else is newer subdivision masonry. Color changes on the second, matching and blending on the first.
Terrell Hills is a small enclave of large brick houses, most of them mid-century and most of them still their original color. A full exterior stain is the job here, and it is usually the only one.
The Woodlands is brick under heavy tree cover, which means walls that stay damp and show it. Stain leaves the brick able to dry, which matters more here than the color does.
The Georgian brick around the SMU campus sets the palette for the whole neighborhood, so most requests here are about fitting into it rather than standing out. That usually means matching an addition or evening out a wall that has been patched.
West U is small lots, high values and constant rebuilding, so new brick beside old brick is the standing condition. The common job is getting an addition or a rebuild to match the house it is attached to.
Westlake is a small number of very large properties, so the jobs are few and big. Full exterior color changes, and the walls, gates and outbuildings that go with them.
Milwaukee is Chicago plus about ninety minutes, so a Wisconsin project usually gets planned alongside one in Illinois. Work here is arranged around the building and the calendar rather than run off a standing local route.
Milwaukee is where Cream City brick came from, a pale local clay that grays and blotches as it weathers and that no modern run will match. Stain is the only way to bring a patched Cream City wall back to one color, because the replacement brick simply cannot be bought.
The list above is where the work is documented, not where it stops. Distance is a line item on a large commercial or institutional project, not a reason to say no. Tell us the building and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right people to do it, including when the answer is no.
Send us the building. Most projects are quoted within days of the call.
