Featured Reviews for Building Suppliers & Merchants in Iowa City, IA

Gavin Historical Bricks
Building Suppliers & Merchants in Iowa City, IA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 January 2014
“We are thrilled with our Historical Brick driveway parking area. It looks like it has been here for 100 years. We even gathered a dozen of the bricks with imprints of the different Ohio brickyards and placed them name up at our entrance steps. Guests are fascinated. The process with the company was a pleasure. They sent a significant number of extras--needed since there is a lot of wastage due to broken and misshapen bricks. The installer must be patient to sort, chip off residual concrete/asphalt and place the bricks carefully. BUT the result is well worth it. Compared to the Historical Bricks new pavers look fake, cheap and have no character. We could not be happier.”
Iowa Stone Supply
Building Suppliers & Merchants in Iowa City, IA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 August 2015
“The use of stone material in projects provides a huge design impact. The group at Iowa Stone Supply is able to make integrating this material into our projects easy. They help us find material that not only fills a design need, but can also inspire the rest of the project. They go on to work with us as we design the structures, integrating elements like water, fire, metal, and wood. They continue to provide timely installations and fine-tune elements at the end of the project. My experience with this group continues to be positive and inspirational.”
