THE CHALLENGE

Mount Mansfield and the terrain in Vermont require carefully engineered wall designs which are installed to gain more useful land for owners. While functionality is vital, aesthetics are equally important for these beautiful walls. Rather than accept a large expanse of plain concrete to mar the look of the terrain, the engineers and installers contacted us for a custom version of our popular New England-inspired color, Mansfield Summit Gray.

OUR SOLUTION

While we do offer several Standard Colors, Mansfield Summit Gray, being one of them, we frequently customize the color range specifically to suit the preference and natural rock color on site, to provide maximum value for the owner of the wall. The stained Redi-Rock is as stunning from a distance as it is up close, where the detailed veining and color accents weave together with the three predominant colors designed to match exactly to the blasted rock on the site.

Owners appreciate that they can actually create a “rock wall” that does not contain any of the unwanted variations in color that occur in nature, but emphasize and use only the color range that they find attractive. The result, using The Most Natural Colors on Earth™, is that this impressive wall system now looks as though it has been blasted from one of the most beautiful parts of Mount Mansfield.  Contact us today for your quote and plan of action or to design your wall color.

THE CHALLENGE

A growing company needed a new location for their corporate headquarters. They leased new space that was perfect for their predicted growth, however, the building needed an update that would stay in budget and yet give the company just the right image. Painting brick does cause a permanent maintenance cycle for the owners and tenant as well as risk to damage for spalling during the freeze-thaw cycles in this Pennsylvania location. The offices and warehouse are all under one roof, and the entire brand was represented by the appearance of this building. Areas of repair left unsightly mismatches in brick and mortar. Tired tan color looked soiled and needed a refresh. Not only customers had an opinion about the condition of the building, but potential new recruits and new employees would see the exterior.

OUR SOLUTION

The decision makers wisely refused to allow paint to reduce the building’s value. One beautiful gray color was chosen. Following a thorough, safe and careful cleaning done with EaCoChem products, our firm stained a customized lightest gray on the building in one coat. New, clean looking brick masonry greets employees as well as the owners, who were all thrilled with the results. We’ve got the only industry accepted solution for how to make old brick look new again on commercial properties like this one, and more. Whether leasing or owning a building, Exact Match has the ideal solution for changing brick and color without any maintenance or risk to damage to the masonry, guaranteed.

THE CHALLENGE

This homeowner brought fresh curb appeal and raised her home’s value by updating her walkway with a lovely bluestone that brought in the timeless color range of elegant grays. A retaining wall planter which was existing already was still lighter gray colors.

The orange stone at the entrance of her home was an eyesore, and needed a serious update ,however tearing the stone out would have been costly and would risk damage to the door and risk breaking the intact seal against weather when only a color change was needed. The warm mortar color also needed an exact match to surrounding colors.

The mason who installed the walkway recommended a natural stone color expert masonry staining company be called in to tie in both the planter wall stone colors and mortar and the new walkway.

OUR SOLUTION

Natural stone must be stained by experts who will carefully change the color and yet carefully preserve the natural appearance, and when done by our team, the results are better than replacement, since we control the color completely.

The owner knew that she would not be stuck with any undesirable natural stone veining or unwanted variations; she could have exactly the colors and balance of color she wanted with no compromise. When we change the color of mortar, there is no wait for a 28 day cure time, hoping that the color will match, as our color change transforms the mortar color as-permanently and within minutes to the correct color, guaranteed.

The owner was in awe of the subtle variations still present in the stone, due to the careful color creation and layering process that only our expert team knows how to provide. Visitors to her home believe that she somehow located the perfect natural stone to replace the old stone with, and her entrance way is now stunning as intended, with no dust, noise or demolition or searching for natural stone to be shipped in hopes that it may look right. We’re an Exact Match for Natural Stone.

THE CHALLENGE

This lakefront home in the Adirondacks needed a series of beautiful Redi-Rock® walls, however the large, natural rocks, plus the stone on the home itself, brought two design elements together, and the Redi-Rock® wall seemed to add a third.

VP Operations, Matthew, is our nationally recognized Redi-Rock® color expert, and he was called in to strategize and create the perfect palette for the homeowners through several design meetings.

OUR SOLUTION

The Redi-Rock® Limestone was stained with a completely custom color range using five colors and a careful and artistic process that highlights the details in the pattern. The color of any natural nearby cliffs and the large rock sitting above were inspiration. Areas of the Redi-Rock® Limestone pattern area very intricately molded, but not obvious to a casual observer without color.

Now, these areas on the patter stand out in the most beautiful way, thanks to the carefully created and applied color which mimics the look of natural rock. We transformed each block very carefully to look as though there were natural high and lowlights, and even featuring areas which now appear that they sheared during quarrying, or wear in the elements over the imagined “many years” to show off layers of stone underneath.

Actually, just looking at the Redi-Rock® wall now, it is easy to forget that this stunning Limestone retaining wall was not chiseled from rock taken right from the earth. Trust  the experts at Exact Match™, and our exclusive process using The Most Natural Colors on Earth™ to provide the solution to any Redi-Rock® color need in North America. We’re an Exact Match for America’s Masonry™ and Retaining Walls!

THE CHALLENGE

Custom color was needed to achieve a subtle result that would complete the wall so that the owners could Control Their Color™. Owners may wonder what to do about needing subtle color. Region by region and site by site, color needs for Redi-Rock can vary, and we understand this better than anyone.

OUR SOLUTION

This allows us to adjust the color intensity as needed to suit preferences and the surroundings and lighting on the site.

Our Redi-Rock color expert created and shifted the subtle colors at the owner’s command, while carefully guiding the design process with his own decades of expertise as well.

THE CHALLENGE

THE CHALLENGE

The town needed a Tennessee Foothills Pattern Wall constructed, but also needed a guaranteed solution to complete the wall and make it just as beautiful as possible to blend in with the rest of the project site. Plain Concrete is Incomplete ™, and, just as expected, the wall was showing soil, discoloration from visible moisture, and general color inconsistencies which are typical for plain concrete walls.

Plain concrete blocks may vary in color from the beginning of the project to the end, and from one block to the next. This is to be expected for uncolored walls, even though produced by the very best wall systems and best manufacturers in the world.

Walls will become stained by the elements and soil, unless the walls are completed with our process. This is why Exact Match was called in to complete the wall with our stunning, natural color.

OUR SOLUTION

We designed an incredibly natural custom, 6 color process for completing the Stone Strong wall to match exactly to the stone which the site contractor provided us, taken as samples from a natural stone walkway being built elsewhere on the site. The natural stone sitting atop the completed sample wall is featured on the project gallery, handed to us that morning on site for our final source of color inspiration, since all color is flawlessly customized right on site for custom color work.

The beautiful Tennessee Foothills pattern pairs perfectly with a custom 6 color process, and the results on the wall are stunning up close and from a distance.  Because Plain Concrete Is Incomplete, Stone Strong walls, when completed with The Most Natural Colors on Earth ™ , offered exclusively by Exact Match, transform an otherwise plain, concrete wall, to The Look of Real Rock ™ .
