What Metro Brick and Stone does
Metro Brick & Stone Co. is a Dallas-based brick and stone distributor founded in 1983, serving both commercial and residential customers across the United States with a primary concentration in the DFW Metroplex. The company operates three Texas locations — a flagship 5,000-sq.ft. showroom and headquarters at 2184 Joe Field Road in Dallas, plus facilities in Tolar and Ennis — and runs a separate direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform, Metro Brick & Stone Direct (metrobrickdirect.com), which ships thin brick and thin stone nationwide via LTL freight. Its core product portfolio spans new brick, hand-cleaned antique and used brick, natural building stone (including quarry-direct stone from company-owned quarries), thin brick and thin stone veneer, clay and brick pavers, concrete block, fireplaces and designer hearth systems, landscape boulders, pool coping, Mexican brick, and masonry tools and accessories.
The company operates two distinct go-to-market motions: (1) an enterprise-style field sales and showroom model serving contractors, builders, and masonry professionals across Texas — supported by named field sales representatives, inside sales staff, material estimating and blueprint take-off services, and brick-matching expertise for restoration projects; and (2) a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel via Metro Direct targeting DIY homeowners and small-scale contractors with thin brick and thin stone products, an online coverage calculator, and online quote requests. Pricing is uniformly quote-based rather than publicly listed. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding events, no parent company, and no public revenue figures.
Metro Brick differentiates through quarry ownership, four decades of accumulated antique brick inventory and manufacturer relationships spanning more than 25 partners (including Glen-Gery, Bowerston, Mutual Materials, Martin Marietta, Salado, Quikrete, MSI, Old Carolina, and others), and brick-matching expertise for restoration work. Trade association memberships with Dallas AIA, Dallas Builders Association, Brick Industry Association, and CSI support specification-stage referrals from architects and construction professionals. The company has no proprietary technology platform and does not employ AI/ML capabilities; its competitive position rests on physical inventory, distribution density, and accumulated product expertise rather than software.

Metro Brick and Stone competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- MSI (M S International): Large national importer and distributor of natural stone, quartz, and porcelain surfacing materials. Also a Metro Brick supply partner; competes with Metro in the natural stone distribution segment but at much greater national scale.
- ABC Supply Co. Largest wholesale distributor of roofing, siding, and building materials in the U.S. While not focused exclusively on brick/stone, ABC Supply competes for contractor wallet share in masonry-adjacent product categories and represents the scale ceiling that regional distributors like Metro Brick face.
- General Shale: One of North America's largest brick and masonry solutions manufacturers with extensive product lines including thin brick and stone veneer. Comparable to Metro Brick's core offering of brick and masonry products for residential and commercial construction.
- Glen-Gery: Major U.S. brick manufacturer with national distribution. A key Metro Brick supply partner (featured on Metro's website), Glen-Gery competes as a direct-to-customer alternative and represents both a partner and competitive threat given its broader catalog and scale.
- Martin Marietta Materials: Major American aggregates and building materials company with national distribution. A Metro Brick supply partner, Martin Marietta competes broadly in construction materials distribution with significantly greater scale and capital resources.
Regional players
- Salado (SaladoUSA): Texas-based limestone and natural stone quarrier/manufacturer. Distributes through Metro Brick but also sells direct, making it a regional competitor in the natural stone segment that Metro Brick would otherwise source exclusively from its own quarries.
Direct peers
- Acme Brick Company: Texas-based brick manufacturer and distributor with deep DFW presence, similar B2B contractor channel, and comparable product breadth (new brick, antique, stone). Acme is the most directly comparable regional competitor to Metro Brick in their shared home market.
- Belden Brick Company: One of the largest U.S. brick manufacturers with a distribution network serving residential and commercial markets. Closely comparable to Metro Brick in product focus (clay brick, including specialty and architectural lines) and customer base (contractors, builders, homeowners).
Emerging players
- Cultured Stone (Westlake Royal): Major manufacturer of manufactured stone veneer products sold through distributor networks. Comparable to a meaningful share of Metro Brick's natural stone veneer product mix; overlaps in residential accent wall and facade use cases.
- Eldorado Stone: Manufacturer of architectural stone veneer products distributed through dealer networks. Directly comparable to Metro Brick's stone veneer offerings for residential and commercial accent wall applications; competes for the same contractor and builder specifier relationships.
