Brick Matching

Brick matching is the art and science of finding replacement bricks that blend seamlessly with existing masonry, preserving your building's uniform appearance and property value during repairs. This challenge is particularly complex for Ontario's heritage buildings where original manufacturers have closed and modern bricks differ in size, color, and texture from historic units. Factors include color variation from clay composition and firing temperature, surface texture from manufacturing method, size differences between modern modular and historic brick, and weathering patterns that change appearance over time. Solutions range from salvaging bricks from hidden areas, sourcing reclaimed brick from demolition, custom manufacturing small batches, or using staining techniques to adjust color. Poor matching creates obvious patches that decrease curb appeal and property value. Fix My Brick maintains relationships with specialty suppliers and uses proven color-matching techniques ensuring repairs blend invisibly with existing masonry, preserving architectural integrity and real estate value.
