Gavin Historical Bricks is a family run business that has grown to be the largest and most respected supplier of reclaimed antique paving and building material in the nation.
What we do:
We reclaim and supply antique brick and stone for new construction/landscapes with an old world look as well as historic restoration projects. Our materials grace private homes and public buildings as well as large scale brick street restoration projects across the United States.
How we work with you:
It is our goal to find the perfect material for your project. We typically start by sending you additional photos of products you find interesting and then follow up with actual samples. We then provide you with a quotation and arrange for the materials to be delivered directly to your contractor or jobsite.
Why customers choose us:
Our customers are architects, designers, and individuals who do not want to compromise on the character and authenticity of their project. Antique brick and stone is our specialty and we believe the beauty and character of these products cannot be matched. No one else can provide the quality, quantity or variety to make your project special.
