Reclaimed Brick & Stone for Architects & Designers
Specifiable, documented, and actually in stock. We give you real photographs of real pallets, sample boards for submittal, and a delivery date you can put in a schedule.
Specify Reclaimed Without the Risk
The usual objection to reclaimed material is uncertainty: will it be there, will it match, will it arrive when the mason does. We answer all three with photographs of reserved stock, physical sample boards, and a 48-hour dispatch window on anything in the yard.
Our connection to A. Hays Town is more than history. He was Mom's mentor, and his philosophy of using reclaimed materials to create warm, timeless homes is the foundation of how we operate today.
Why projects come to us
Cut sheets and spec language
Nominal sizes, tolerances, coverage, and weights in a form you can drop straight into a submittal, plus help writing the spec so variation is a specified property rather than an argument on site.
Sample boards for submittal
Boards showing the full colour range within a blend, labelled with the blend name, free to the trade and ready to go into the package.
Reserved stock
Material held against your project and photographed on the pallet, so what was approved at submittal is what turns up on site.
Mock-up panels
Enough material to build a mock-up panel. On facade work it is the approval method we recommend every time.
One point of contact
Hays or Ben from first enquiry to delivered load. Not a rotating cast of account managers who each need the project explained again.
Consistent house blends
Four house blends held as standing stock rather than one-off loads, so a second phase two years later can still be specified with confidence.
How We Ensure the Highest Quality
Questions we get asked
How should we write the specification?
Specify the range rather than a single colour, name the blend, state the dimensional tolerance as acceptable — nominal ±¼" on antique brick — and set approval by sample board or mock-up panel. Written that way, the variation that makes reclaimed brick worth having stops being a defect somebody has to defend.
Can you support a submittal deadline?
Yes. Tell us the date. Sample boards normally ship within two business days, and cut sheets and coverage calculations we can turn around faster than that. The thing that takes time is sourcing, not paperwork.
What about LEED or embodied carbon documentation?
Reclaimed material has a genuine story here — it is salvaged rather than manufactured — but we are a family brick yard, not a certification body. We can document what the material is, where it was reclaimed from, and how it was sorted. If your submission needs a specific form completed, send it over and we will tell you honestly what we can sign.

We’re In Love With Our Patio. We have used building materials from New Orleans Brick on several projects. The antique flagstone contribute to the sense the stone has been in place forever.
It was such serendipity that I found you all. I desperately wanted to use antique brick in our house and you were so great to find the perfect brick that fit our budget. Thank you!
Better than I imagined. Our backyard patio is perfect! The hard tan stone you found matched my neutral vision—and exceeded expectations.
I can’t say enough about how fantastic this team is! My heart screams for preserving historic significance. A mix of a trusted group with old gems is a win, win for me. I definitely recommend 100%!
I reached out to them slightly after normal business hours and received a prompt call back. They discussed the different options that they had with me and gave me all of the information I need to make an informed decision.
