What Brick-It Inc. does
Brick-It Inc. (Brick it®) is a Bohemia, New York-based, privately held distributor and systems developer founded in 1985 by Ronald Trezza. The company supplies thin brick, full brick, thin stone, stucco systems, and proprietary installation hardware to architects, contractors, and homeowners across the United States and Canada. Its catalog spans more than 600 brick options plus adjacent categories (Cultured Stone, Boral, Pangea thin stone; Sto and Dryvit stucco; Kingspan GreenGuard insulation; Keene rainscreen; SPEC MIX mortars), all sold through the brickit.com e-commerce storefront and an in-house logistics fleet backed by a freight-carrier bidding configurator.
The company's core technical differentiator is a family of patented panel-based installation systems. The Designer Metal Grid (DMG) system and Moisture Control System (MCS, U.S. Patent #8,141,310) enable thin brick installation at roughly 1,200 bricks per day versus ~250 per day with conventional methods, while the Continuous Insulation and Moisture Control (CI) system (U.S. Patent #9,512,621) integrates XPS insulation and a 100% thermal break for code-compliant commercial assemblies. Brick-It also operates what it describes as the largest custom thin brick cutting operation in the industry, capable of tens of thousands of cuts per day and the conversion of standard or reclaimed brick into thin veneer for historic preservation work. Regulatory approvals include Miami-Dade / Florida Product Approval #FL14427 and NFPA 285 fire-test approval for the CI assembly.
Revenue is generated through transactional unit pricing on brick, stone, stucco, and accessories (typical thin brick at $8-$20 per square foot, mortar at roughly $17-$34 per 40 lb bag), supplemented by fees for custom cutting services and freight. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a sales-led Brick it Pro account program targeting architects and contractors through free samples, technical guidance, and project-level support. The business remains founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional capital, M&A, or leadership transitions in the available record.

Brick-It Inc. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Real Thin Brick: Thin brick veneer specialist offering a broad catalog of clay thin brick products and installation systems for residential and commercial projects. Most direct head-to-head competitor given similar product positioning, e-commerce emphasis, and focus on professional contractor/architect segments.
- Glen-Gery Corporation: Major U.S. clay brick manufacturer offering full brick and thin brick veneer products across residential and commercial channels. Comparable in thin brick product range but operates at much larger manufacturing scale and through traditional masonry distribution.
Broad incumbents
- General Shale: One of North America's largest brick and building solutions manufacturers with a thin brick product line among its broader portfolio. Larger scale and broader category presence than Brick-It, with established relationships across masonry distribution channels.
- ACME Brick Company: Berkshire Hathaway-owned brick manufacturer and distributor offering full and thin brick products across the U.S. Operates extensive company-owned distribution which competes with Brick-It's direct-to-consumer model for the same professional customer base.
- Boral (Forterra): Large building products manufacturer that produces Cultured Stone, Boral stone veneer, and brick products — several of which Brick-It distributes. Significant competitive overlap in thin stone and thin brick categories plus distribution-channel overlap in North America.
Emerging players
- Eldorado Stone: Manufactured stone veneer brand focused on architectural stone aesthetics with comparable professional-channel and installation-system positioning to Brick-It's thin stone product line. Partial overlap in exterior veneer category but no thin brick offering.
Regional players
- Endicott Clay Products: U.S. thin brick and clay product manufacturer with strong Midwest presence. Comparable in thin brick manufacturing focus and project-specification orientation, but smaller national footprint and less emphasis on proprietary installation panel systems.
- Taylor Clay Products: Family-owned clay products manufacturer producing thin brick veneer with comparable mid-sized manufacturer profile to Brick-It. Operates primarily in southeastern U.S. with project-based specification selling similar to Brick-It's professional account model.
Others
- Sto Corp: Manufacturer of stucco and EIFS exterior systems that Brick-It distributes exclusively. Connected through distribution partnership and overlapping professional customer base; could become a competitor if Sto chose to bypass Brick-It in U.S. East Coast markets.
- Dryvit Systems: EIFS and exterior insulation systems manufacturer distributed exclusively by Brick-It. Relevant as a partner-and-potential-competitor relationship in the exterior building envelope category that Brick-It's CI and MCS systems also serve.
