Family Business · 3rd Generation

WHO WE ARE

We're not a big box contractor. We're a family. Three generations of masons who built our name on sweat, skill, and showing up when others wouldn't.

Our Story

26 YEARS. THREE GENERATIONS.
ONE STANDARD.

It started with Nick's grandfather — a Dix family mason who believed that the way you lay a brick says everything about who you are. He didn't cut corners. He didn't rush. He built things that lasted, and he built a reputation to match.

That mentality was passed down. Not just as words, but as muscle memory. As a way of seeing a wall, reading a crack, knowing when to push and when to take your time.

Today, Nick leads Bricks n Bristles with 26 years of family history behind him and a hunger to prove that small businesses can outperform the big guys — every single time.

We're young. We're driven. And we combine the old-world techniques that have stood the test of time with the cutting-edge materials and technology that make our work smarter, faster, and more durable than ever before.
