The structure is finished. The color still needs to belong.

MCC custom-mixes and applies color to installed brick, mortar, and other compatible materials. The work begins once a repair or addition is structurally complete and focuses on making the new material look at home beside the original.

01

Repair and addition color matching

Your mason or builder finishes the construction first. If the new brick still stands out, we mix and test colors against the original wall, then adjust the new work to match its tones and natural variation.

Brick and masonry staining

We check the surface, any existing coatings, and how well the material absorbs stain before recommending a treatment. Then we mix and test colors on the project to find the right match.

Specialty material color matching

Sometimes a single detail draws attention for the wrong reason. We look at the material and its finish first, then let you know whether color matching can help it fit with the rest of the space.

  • Ceramic architectural accents

Other color problems we can help with.

Paint chalking color correction

Bring back your brick’s natural color.

When paint on the siding starts to chalk, rain can wash that pigment onto the brick below. We use carefully matched stains to correct the discoloration and bring the brick closer to its original color. The source of the runoff needs attention too, so the problem doesn’t keep coming back.

Light reflectance value (LRV) color adjustment

Get the right color for your HOA or project.

If your HOA has asked for a different color, we can help. We stain brick to match an approved sample or adjust its light reflectance value (LRV)—how much light it reflects. Send us the color or target you’ve been given. We’ll check the wall and any old coatings, test a sample, then stain the brick.

A few useful things to know before you send photos.

Color work begins with context: the full installed surface, the material, and the difference drawing the attention.

01

What should I send with an estimate request?

Photos make it easier to understand the project before we follow up. If you have them, include one or two wide views, a few close-ups, the project location, and a short description of what changed.

02

Is color correction the same as painting masonry?

No. Paint creates a continuous surface layer. Color correction and staining are considered more selectively in relation to the material, its absorbency, existing coatings, and the variation that is already present.

03

Can MCC review interior and commercial projects?

Yes. MCC welcomes residential and commercial inquiries for interior and exterior color work. Each review considers the installed material, existing finish, viewing distance, and surrounding color.

04

Will every masonry surface accept the same approach?

No. Material type, porosity, previous coatings, current condition, and the amount of change all matter. MCC reviews those factors before recommending a solution.

Not sure which service fits?

Send photos of the full area and the mismatch. MCC can help identify the next step.
