Nawkaw brick staining?

[ck 2]

I am building an addition onto my brick home. I found out the brick on my house is no longer being made. I was told to check with a company (nawkaw) that could stain brick to match my house. I would have to find a similar brick to mine and then they stain it to match.

I went to their website and they have some very convincing pictures. Anyone know anyting about this ?

Thanks. My brick hs a baked on face. I think that's what it's called anyway.
I was just wondering how much this costs. My project is about 5000 brick.

Also how close does the brick I buy need to be to my old brick?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was charged 5.00 pr sq.ft. last year. Your local brick yard where you get your brick from should know a good guy they use. Dont know about the color but would try to match brick texture. Your area will make dif on what your charged.

Well today I found 2500 of the brick I need. I need about 5000 for my project.
I'm thinking about buying them. At least i will have enough to do the front wall and part of the end wall.

If I could come up with enough to do the front and end wall I would address the back wall by staining it. I think these 2500 are the last brick I will find though.

Nawkaw has been in business since 1987. They also have a 25 year warranty and the website shows several offices - including an office in Chicago...they also show residential and commercial projects. I would look for product information and references before choosing anyone to do the work.
