One in particular, however, stands out from the rest. Brent, I find to be one of the finest in the industry and now that I run my own design-build firm, he is my go-to guy. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and is well known in the construction industry. Even after a project is done, he will check in to see how things are going. It's rare to find that sort of dedication. > > It was that dedication that allowed us to successfully complete an innovative retail space in Chicago last summer. It was a great opportunity to work with one another and I look forward to working with Brent and Bricks Inc. on many more in the near future! Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — O'Connor Brehm Design-Build, Feb. 2014** > Bricks Inc. is an invaluable resource for stone and brick for our custom residential projects. Our sales rep Brent has a great depth of knowledge and is very responsive and reliable. He is a trusted colleague that makes our job much easier by doing his so well. We recommend Brent and Bricks Inc. without reservation. **★★★★★ — McGrath Architects, P.C., Nov. 2012** > I have referred several clients to Bricks, Inc. over the years and my clients have all reported back with excellent results. Their service is exceptional and the products the rep are top-notch. One bonus about Bricks is that they are the largest stocking distributor in the Chicago-land area. This came in handy on a few projects that were in need of brick at the last minute and could not wait for a manufacturer to deliver several weeks later. It also is nice to have older brick in stock to match existing conditions. They have designers on staff who can help with detailing masonry as well and recommend the proper product for unique conditions and save you money. **★★★★★ — LaCantina Doors, Nov. 2012** > Bricks Inc holds a high standard of excellence when it comes to servicing their clients. > > Always accommodating when making appointments with clients to review products and will always go the extra mile to make sure that you receive the information you need for your project. > > If there is something that Bricks Inc can assist you with, there is no doubt in my mind that they will do whatever it takes to help you on your project, weather it be simple questions to job site visits to after install service to make sure you couldn't be happier with the product and service that you are receiving from this company. > > Highly recommend. ## Selected projects - [Bell Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bell-residence-pj-vj~7157872) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: I'm dreaming of a white brickhouse... just like this single family residence in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood! Built using one-of-a-kind, eternally elusive "Silver Fox" reclaimed brick, this modern home feels perfectly matched to its 19th-century neighbors thanks to the rustic, tumbled edges of its vintage masonry. Dents, scratches, smudges of grey, and occasional bits of paint reveal themselves when you look close — irreplicable details that pay homage to the many years these bricks lived thr… - [West Town Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-town-residence-pj-vj~7157878) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: We love a successful fenestration renovation — not only can it improve energy efficiency, it also gives owners a chance to change or modernize the exterior appearance of their beloved home. The long-time occupants of this Wicker Park property approached us in the hopes of making some updates before listing their residence for sale. Seeking better performance, but wanting to keep the aesthetics the same, we helped them out by providing the whole house with brand-new aluminum Quaker Windows, rear… - [Wilmot Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wilmot-residence-pj-vj~6320651) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 9 - Description: Single family home along Chicago's 606 walking/biking path. We provided Jeld-Wen Epic Series windows and Centor integrated screens for over 25 openings on this massive project. - [LaGrange, Illinois](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lagrange-illinois-pj-vj~7133101) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: How gorgeous is this single family residence we recently finished in LaGrange, Illinois? Though distinctly modern, the home's strong horizontality, deep eaves, and use of brick harkens back to traditional Prairie-style architecture. The homeowners knew they wanted to use a shimmery black brick, so salesman Dave dropped off a selection of samples for them to review with their builder. "Manganese Iron spot" from Endicott, in a 2-1/4" x 11-5/8" norman size, won by a landslide. About 4" longer than… - [Kavi Gupta Gallery](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kavi-gupta-gallery-pj-vj~7133111) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 5 - Description: We couldn't be more in love with this sleek, indoor-outdoor space designed with Jeld-Wen "Epic Vue" fenestration! Home to esteemed art gallery Kavi Gupta and its proprietors, this 1916 building in Chicago's Fulton Market neighborhood underwent extensive upper-level renovations a few years back. Down on the first floor, the traditional, public-facing exhibition rooms enjoyed years of thoughtful improvements — while the second and third floors, a residence for the owners and their daughter, experi… - [Glencoe Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glencoe-residence-pj-vj~7117691) - Location: Glencoe, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: The designers at Wheeler Kearns Architects knew they wanted to create a house that would feel intrinsically integrated with the surrounding landscape — especially given the expansive lot size and lush, forested perimeter. They opted to situate the home toward the front of the property, allowing its occupants to enjoy floor-to-ceiling views of their yard from the rear of the building. We provided an enormous, 21-foot wide "Aliwood" sliding unit from LaCantina Doors to this end of the central livi… - [Northbrook Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/northbrook-residence-pj-vj~7117708) - Location: Northbrook, IL - Photos: 7 - Description: We often tell people that masonry is one of the best building materials you can choose for the exterior of your property, and this Northbrook residence proves we’re not just biased; there’s definitely some truth to that assertion! Earlier in the year, we were approached by this homeowner with a unique and troubling issue — his gorgeous vintage home, originally built with a combination of stone and cedar siding, was having a bit of a woodpecker problem! Seeking to remove and replace the hole-ridd… - [Seminary Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seminary-residence-pj-vj~6938697) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 7 - Description: Grey brick is one of our most requested offerings lately, but it's hardly a new infatuation for Chicago builders and homeowners. All around the city, hundred-year-old bungalows, courtyard apartments, and multi-unit structures can be found clad in this classic shade! These days, many of our customers who come to the showroom hunting for cool greys leave with sample panels from Interstate Brick. Case in point? This single-family home in Lincoln Park, built with Interstate's enduringly beloved "Pew… - [Damen Reclaimed Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/damen-reclaimed-residence-pj-vj~6868053) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 5 - Description: In Chicago, a building can have a second life through its brick. All over Chicago, older structures are held up by locally made bricks. Known as Chicago Common bricks, they are rough textured, pink to buff in color and possess an unrivaled patina and character. When a building comes down, these bricks can be cleaned and packed up, ready to find a new purpose. On 2110 N Damen, reclaimed Chicago Commons supplied by Bricks Incorporated found their purpose in bringing rich history and complexity to… - [Old Town Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-town-renovation-pj-vj~6768158) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: Prior to the 2018 renovation of this Old Town property, the wall connecting the back deck and cozy living room featured two windows and a set of traditional french doors. Look more closely, however, and you'll notice this little patio is really more of a stair landing — to the north is a spiral staircase leading up to spacious outdoor areas on the third floor and rooftop; to the south is a set of stairs for accessing the shady porch atop the garage! As a result, this small area contains the fami… - [Bucktown Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bucktown-residence-pj-vj~6734411) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 7 - Description: When you’re trying to blend new construction into a historic area like Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, a little rustic brick goes a long way! We love how this modern single family design by Mike Shively Architecture puts the masonry fireplace front and center, artfully paying homage to the array of beautiful brickwork found elsewhere on the street. Although unconventional, the choice also affords the family inside a little more privacy on the street-facing side of their home. Smart! We supplied… - [Brick Flooring — Nashville Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brick-flooring-nashville-home-pj-vj~6734410) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 8 - Description: How amazing is this reclaimed brick used as flooring?! These "Dark Pink" Chicago common bricks add warmth and rustic, old-world charm to this contemporary residence in Nashville's Hillwood neighborhood. Homeowner Lee and his wife reviewed three different batches of masonry before settling on the creamy pinks and beiges of this lot salvaged from a demolition site just down the road from our Kedzie yard. It's always fun to work with a construction professionals on their own homes — having seen and… - [Howe Street Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/howe-street-residence-pj-vj~6396962) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 8 - Description: Creative brickwork is a classy and unique way to make your residence stand out from the other homes on the block! This single family residential project used Interstate Brick in Midnight Black. A combination of 2.25 x 16″ Emperor sized brick and 2.25 x 12″ Norman sized brick was used, as well as an array of special shapes custom-made by Interstate. Matching thin brick was installed on one elevation. Many different mockups were made for review and approval by the owners and our friends at D Space… - [Barrington Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barrington-sunroom-pj-vj~6690681) - Location: Barrington, IL - Photos: 9 - Description: Though it sure looks like this dreamy pool-facing sunroom is located in Florida… you’ll actually find it out in Barrington, Illinois. In partnership with the window installation experts at Meyer Guild, we helped this homeowner transform the room on the back of his house into a seriously inspirational four-seasons room. In the summertime, all four sets of bifolding LaCantina Doors along the perimeter of the space fold neatly out of view, completely merging the covered dining area with the expansi… - [Light Pink Townhome](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/light-pink-townhome-pj-vj~6662475) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 10 - Description: Pink houses are always magical — and even more so when their cheerful hue comes from the use of reclaimed common brick! This beautiful single family residence in Wrigleyville came about as a collaboration with our friends at Barrett Homes. Though decidedly modern inside, the new construction property looks right at home amongst its turn-of-the-century neighbors thanks to the careful brick selection (a particularly gorgeous batch of "Light Pink"). Recessed, divided light windows, a traditional ro… - [Condo Renovations - The Courts at Lincoln](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/condo-renovations-the-courts-at-lincoln-pj-vj~6632029) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 13 - Description: If you’re looking to revamp the patio doors leading out to the porch of your condo, why not take a page from the playbook of this Lincoln Square multifamily building? Working together through their homeowner’s association, these four independent penthouse owners negotiated new fenestration for all four terraces at the same time. Although the remodeling goals of each unit were unique, collaborating allowed for greater efficiency during construction and major cost savings! In total, we provided th… - [Beverly Screened-In Porch Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beverly-screened-in-porch-remodel-pj-vj~6606616) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 10 - Description: Quite the transformation! This single family residence in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago occupies a quiet lot across the street from the Dan Ryan woods. The original homeowners had built a screened-in porch over the two-car garage that was in serious need of an update. The new owners, working with Room by Room Total Home Remodeling, approached us a few years back in search of fresh fenestration that could extend the room's useable months. We provided three sets of bifolding windows from LaC… - [Carpenter Glass Brick Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carpenter-glass-brick-residence-pj-vj~6538357) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 7 - Description: We were so excited to work on our first stateside Poesia Glass brick project! Notable for being artisanal and handmade, fully customizable to the project, and ultra shiny crystal clear, these glass bricks are most definitely not in the same category as the mottled cubes fitted into basement window openings citywide. In fact… these are the kinds of bricks you want front and center. Project lead Matt Wilke of LG Construction opted to place them in an alley-facing window, giving the dining room spa… - [Puluru Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/puluru-residence-pj-vj~6538339) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 7 - Description: We love a satisfied customer! The owner of this Naperville residence visited our showroom and became smitten with the idea of installing LaCantina sliding doors in his kitchen. We provided a custom, three-panel multislide system with an unusual quirk — the middle panel is actually larger than the two side panels, per the client’s request. Upon our recommendation, Meyer Guild provided an exceptional installation job, even expanding the opening by one foot to allow more light to enter the kitchen.… - [Drake Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drake-residence-pj-vj~6420201) - Location: Lake Forest, IL - Photos: 5 - Description: A little Flashback Friday to one of our favorite collaborations with Massey Associates Architects! This landmark Lake Forest residence, an original creation by notable midcentury architect Ike W. Colburn, was subject to strict design requirements during its 2016 redesign to preserve the Asian tea house style of the original architecture. Massey Associates did an exceptional job with the tasteful new additions to the property, including a modern kitchen with multiple sliding LaCantina Doors that… [See all 55 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/stone-pavers-and-concrete/bricks-incorporated-pfvwus-pf~1325588064) ## Ideabooks - [Bifolding Doors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/149190626/list/bifolding-doors) — 6 ideas - [Ideas We Love](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21359781/list/ideas-we-love) — 12 ideas - [Reclaimed "Chicago Common" Brick](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24134944/list/reclaimed-chicago-common-brick) — 10 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/bricksincorp) ## Community Q&A **Q: Obsessed with the limewashed brick!** *(in Photo Questions)* I am also hoping to limewash dark red/mixed brick. Can you tell me the color, brand and process?? A: Hi Becky, This project was built with McNear Brick's "Greenwich" brick, which is limewashed at the factory prior to shipping. **Q: trim and window colors** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the trim and window colors - looking for updates to make on my chicago common brick home. Do you happen to know the colors? Thanks! A: Hi Rhonda! Thanks for the message. Send us an email at info@bricksinc.net and I can connect you to the person who worked on this job for detailed project information. I believe these are Quaker windows. **Q: Ideas for Fireplace** *(in Design Dilemma)* I would greatly appreciate any suggestion on what to do with my fireplace. I just added the brick so I do not want to get rid of that. I was considering painting it The same white as the shelves or maybe another color or maybe a white wash, I have no idea. The bookshelf next to it is Sherwin-Williams extra white the wall color is Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray. My kitchen will have bright white cabinets and I am considering a slate blue Island. Any suggestions on what to do with the fireplace would be greatly appreciated A: Painting brick -- not the best idea! Moisture gets trapped inside the wall and can deteriorate your masonry prematurely. Here's more information: http://www.masonryofdenver.com/2014/08/painted-brick/ Limewash or masonry staining are a much better tactic for changing the color of your brick without inadvertently causing damage. Keep that fresh new brick happy and dry. Best of luck with your new home, it's off to a wonderful start! **Q: Deck, patio, or combo?** *(in Landscape Design)* I have had one too many tumbles out of that backdoor so it's time to make it safer. The sill of the door is 23" from the ground. The back of the house is L-shaped which I think gives us a few design options. We're indecisive and would love some input from folks here. We are considering: a small porch (8x8') in front of the door, from the near-edge of the window to far-edge of the window by the pet door with steps down to the table area. Table area finished with stone patio area (flagstone or similar). Taller area would have just enough space for a chair/rocker and side table. a medium deck (12x8') across the part of the house that juts out with steps down to the table area. Maybe room enough for two chairs and a side table. a large deck across the back of the house, higher at the door (12x8') and step down to the table area (10x10). Keep the L-shape. a large deck across the back, all one level, squaring off the front edge. From the two sketches I've attached, you should be able to imagine all four ideas, but I'm happy to clarify anything that isn't clear! About 10' from the back of the house I have 3 large raised garden beds. We love to sit in the yard and look at them - lots of pollinator activity, hummingbird feeders, etc. I don't plan to move them at this time. Longterm, we could try to change the door to open on the other side or change it to swing inwards and add a screen door there. We still need a safer landing. We really love our little bungalow. It's 800sq ft, almost 100 years old, and most if not all of the indoor woodwork is intact. We want to maintain the vintage style and not clash our design or materials. Since the shelter-in-place we've really increased our use of the outdoor space and that table is my morning office where I work until the sun gets too hot. My husband's workspace is in the detached garage and our last kid at home is in university. We plan to be here at least 5 years. We're in northern California so there's a long season of outside-time. Thank you for having a look and I look forward to any suggestions. :) A: In keeping appropriate to the era, have you considered using reclaimed brick or stone pavers as the flooring material for your deck or porch? So many decorative design possibilities exist, and reclaimed materials are both eco-friendly and just as old as your home! https://www.pinterest.com/bricks\_inc\_chicago/reclaimed-pavers/ http://www.bricksinc.net/salvagedbrick/ Best of luck - love your cute little home! **Q: Should we white/limewash our brick or leave it alone?** *(in Remodeling)* We’re closing on our home in a few weeks, and I love the house. The only negative is the brick, it feels a little dark to me. There is A LOT of brick inside as well. I could live with it, but I’m curious what other opinions are on whitewashing. I can’t really imagine how it’d look lighter so I’m really torn. So white or lime wash or leave it alone? How big of a project would it be? DIY or worth hiring a pro? (I’m posting all I have of the brick, the interior pics make it look a little lighter than it really is. It’s actually a dark grey mortar, not the light grey some of the pics make it appear) A: We love your beautiful brick as is! However, if you decide to change the color of your brick, definitely work with a pro. Incorrectly staining or limewashing brick can lead to permanent damage that will be very costly to repair down the line. Be sure to ask your expert for information on how the process will affect your brick over time. And whatever you do, DON'T paint it - it might look nice for awhile, but your brick will suffocate and again, experience premature decay down the line. **Q: Fireplace Wall Tile** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am IN LOVE with this tile but it's been discontinued. I called Ann Sacks and the store manager doesn't have anything close. Does something come to mind that could mimic this look? I'm not a huge fan of the thinner stack stone look...Thanks so much!! A: Hi Barrie! We're partial to this natural stone veneer product from Fond du Lac stone. It's very similar to the picture here. http://www.fdlstone.com/stone/dimensional/fond-du-lac-clean-split Give us a call at 773-523-5718 if you have any questions about the product, we'd love to help you! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
