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

MCC custom-mixes and applies color to installed brick, mortar, and select 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

A mason or builder completes the structural work first. If the closest available brick still looks lighter, darker, redder, or more uniform than the surrounding wall, MCC studies the original material, mixes the target tones, and handles the color-matching stage afterward.

Brick and masonry staining

Brick and masonry staining begins with the installed surface: its material, existing coatings, absorbency, texture, and the amount of color change needed. MCC mixes and tests colors against the project, then applies the selected tones to bring the surface into a more natural relationship with the masonry around it.

  • Broad color shifts
  • Mismatched brick batches
  • Exterior masonry updates

Specialty material color matching

Some projects bring masonry, mortar, ceramic elements, and nearby finishes into the same view. MCC evaluates the installed surface, its existing finish, and the material it needs to relate to before proceeding with color matching as the solution.

  • Mortar and grout
  • Ceramic architectural accents
  • Select installed surfaces

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.
