What Riverside Brick & Supply Co does
Riverside Brick & Supply Company, Inc. is a privately held, vertically specialized masonry materials distributor founded in 1871 in Richmond, Virginia. The company transitioned from clay brick manufacturing to multi-brand distribution in the 1960s as competing brickmakers achieved scale efficiencies, and it has spent the past quarter-century focused on supplying masonry products across Virginia. It represents nearly a dozen manufacturers—including Glen Gery, Pine Hall Brick, Triangle Brick, Belgard, Nitterhouse Masonry, Stafford Stone Works, and Reading Rock—stocking over 50 colors and styles across brick, stone, precast, CMUs, hardscapes, and general masonry accessories.
The company operates five showroom locations across Central and Eastern Virginia (Richmond HQ, Chesapeake, Fredericksburg, Saluda, Williamsburg) and provides delivery service throughout the region. Its product catalog spans face brick, paving brick, thin brick, manufactured stone, natural paving stone, natural stone veneer, architectural CMUs, precast products, cast stone (RockCast), concrete pavers, retaining walls, porcelain pavers (Frontier 20), synthetic turf, mortar, block, aggregates, tools, steel products, cleaners/sealers, fire-related products, and concrete accessories. Material pricing is structured per thousand brick (~$525–$650/ thousand, equating to ~$3.03–$3.74 per square foot) with project-based quotes for larger jobs.
Riverside Brick serves three primary customer segments—residential homeowners, commercial contractors, and architects/designers—with deep expertise in brick matching for historic structures dating to the early 1800s. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through showroom visits and regional delivery, supplemented by an informational website with product catalog and technical resources (Brick 101 guides, installation documentation). The company is led by President Thomas Parrish, with regional general managers overseeing each showroom, and has 11–50 employees. No parent company, venture capital, or private equity involvement is indicated.

Riverside Brick & Supply Co competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Belden Brick: Large U.S. brick manufacturer. Riverside already represents Belden products; comparable as a manufacturer-side incumbent whose products compete on Riverside's showroom floors.
- Acme Brick: One of the largest U.S. brick and masonry distributors with a multi-region showroom network. Comparable as a broad incumbent masonry supplier, though materially larger and operating across many states.
- Lowe's: National big-box competitor with comparable brick, paver, and masonry accessory categories. Sets the pricing benchmark that Riverside's smaller commercial and DIY customers compare against.
- Echelon Masonry: National masonry supply and stone veneer distributor serving contractors and designers. Comparable category overlap (architectural stone veneer, masonry accessories) with Riverside's stone and cast stone lines.
- The Home Depot: National big-box home improvement retailer. Competes for do-it-yourself and small-contractor masonry purchases through in-store and online channels, with much greater scale and pricing visibility than Riverside.
- General Shale: Major North American brick manufacturer and distributor. Overlaps with Riverside as a competing brick source/supplier channel for the same end customers in the masonry market.
Direct peers
- Old Virginia Brick: Regional masonry and brick distributor serving Virginia with a comparable showroom + delivery model. Most directly comparable peer given the overlapping geography, product mix, and customer segments (contractors, homeowners, architects).
- Capitol Brick & Tile: Regional brick and masonry distributor. Comparable scale and product mix to Riverside, serving similar residential and commercial contractor segments.
- Brock Restoration Supply: Regional masonry and restoration supply distributor in the Mid-Atlantic. Comparable to Riverside in scale, customer mix, and historic-renovation specialization (if operating in overlapping geography).
Regional players
