5 star review for brick Color Matching and Reclaimed Brick Delivery

I have a Queen Anne Victorian mansion that we’re repairing mortar and replacing brick on. The size of the brick is very odd. John Galvin worked with me to find the brick I needed. He mailed me two sample bricks to compare to my bricks. Once we found a match he was willing to meet us on a Saturday to pick up our brick. John was the only guy within about 600 miles that was able to find my brick. Would highly recommend Galvin Historical Brick for your next unique/rare brick project.
