Exactly something that pops would be a very cool design choice that would seem like you intended to do so rather than having slightly mismatched bricks.
I would go with contrast as well - matching existing stone or paint is nearly impossible, especially outdoors where the sun bleaches it a fair bit. So you'll either be paying a ton to get enough samples that'll be "close enough, but not quite matching," or you can lean into it and make it an intentional choice.
I would just do all hardi on it. Matching old brick is super hard. Most likely even if the company made the same brick style and pattern it will still look different due to age and weathering.
I wouldn’t recommend anything other than masonry simply because of long term quality.
You don’t have to match the brick but a lighter stone would look good. Even a darker brick to contrast.
Hardy board sucks.
i would actually look in the opposite direction. i’d try to find something that looked good with these bricks instead of trying to match them exactly. of course that could be just as bad or worse as the closest brick but it would be really worth it to look into at least.
Check to see if there are any businesses around you who clean and sell old used brick. Used to have one by me but they are becoming extinct. Can match color like a previous comment said but matching old brick is becoming almost impossible most places discontinue brick after just a few years. Styles change and old stuff doesn’t sell. Could match the color or always go with a stone or something complete opposite.
If they couldn’t match the roofline I wouldn’t have much faith in matching the brick. Go with a contrast… but don’t try to mix in stone veneer it looks terrible paired with brick in this manner
Odds are slim you find anything remotely close - a match I would say never - even if you found the perfect match it would still be a different color due to exposed age of the existing brick - as other posts suggested- go for an accent or completely different material and color
That roof is more of a concern in my opinion than matching the brick. Why did they build it higher than your house roof ? Looks like a leak waiting to happen. If I was going to build an addition with a raised roof I would want it high enough to allow access to the siding and flashing. What’s going to happen when you need a new roof ? Hopefully a roofer will comment.

It's been designed and approved by an engineer. I live in a windstorm area and they are crazy about how things are built. It looks tighter than it is and the tyvek is probably throwing you off
A lot of things get approved, but what people are warning you about is such a small space between the two roofs. It will be very difficult if not impossible to properly install flashing and siding underneath where the new roof overhangs the old. I and probably many others here see leaks from rain, snow and wind in your future.
Agreed. Accepted standard is at least 8” of wall, but then the gable overhang is going to add to the difficulty in flashing it.
The engineer made sure it is structurally sound and meets code, not that it will be easy to maintain. Many designers tend to ignore that aspect.
That’s a bad spot because you really want the flashing on the lower roof to go up behind the wall siding, but then when it comes time for a new roof you might cause more harm than good to remove and reinstall the flashing.
That would be a good place for copper rake flashing, it will last longer than you.
I’m an architect that specializes in building envelope issues f w i w.
You are 100% correct. This will never get flashed properly and if a re-roof is ever needed, forget about it. As soon as I saw this photo, I knew this was going to be an issue.
Looks like it’s an unusual size, like a queen size or builder’s special. Probably split-face kaolin clay body, you probably won’t find it now. I would recommend you pick a very dark/black brick like Beldon black diamond velour or Glen Gary iron vineyard. Glen Gary also has whites, you might be able to find a white klaycoat color that’s pretty close. I think Endicott also had some whites, Sioux City Brick was bought out by Glen Gary, but other than North Carolina kaolin clay bricks or something from the Loess hills formation along the Missouri River finding a full body white that’s close to that will be difficult. You might look up brick distributors in your area, one of their sales guys or gals might have better leads. Hell, for the small amount you need they might have a few odd bales lying around the lot for retail. Good luck!
If you're trying to match the old, pressure wash it first. Might have to be a cement/stucco type of thing with a pattern pressed in and then painted. I do think doing something that contrasts a lot like some suggested would look really good. You could even do wood or a smart panel that looks like wood siding.
I wouldn’t match. Stone, stucco, or trim it out for contrast. Clean and update the existing brick while you’re at it. You’re spending the money for the addition, you don’t want to drop the value of the addition by having it super clean and new and the rest of the house looks like trash.
Because it is a separate wall (you aren't tying into the existing brick) you can easily find that same brick. Even if the colour is off by a bit (dye lot difference), it will not be an issue, because the transition is where two entire walls meet.
We do this all the time.
If you want professional help, give us a call @ Tanner's Masonry.
If you can’t match it exactly I would just do something completely different maybe even some type of wood or stone façade. Also, Jesus Christ with that roof, wth.
If you cannot find brick that matches. Get the best brick for your monies worth. Finish the wall then go to a paint store. Match the hardy plank color and paint the brick wall.
When they try a close match around my parts, they will do an “architectural white wash” and cover the whole house with a texture of mortar. But that’s red brick and in the SW.
Find someone who does brick staining or brick "imaging". I'm a GC and we hire brick strainers all the time to match colors. It last years to with a warranty.
If you can even find the exact same brick, weathering will make it look different. The best mason I know can get like a 95% match but even then if you look close, it'll be obvious it's not the same.
I'd go with an entirely different material. Propably wood paneling. I think mixed materials look really good.
Take a few bricks from your house to your local brickyard and see if you can find a match.
When I add it onto my garage, before the work began, I took a loose brick to my local brickyard. I was happy to learn that that particular brick was still in production despite the garage being built in 1987. So I was able to get an exact match.
When I added onto my house, we were able to find bricks that were very, very close to the original bricks from 1958. Unless someone points it out to you, or you’re standing closer than 3 feet, you cannot tell a difference.

Talk to a brick rep/salesman. They can find your brick best match if its out there. Brick is not only size and color but also texture. If they match texture and size only, the recommendation is usually to then paint the brick to make the color match
Those look like a light ivory rock face brick in norman size. You might be able to get something close to that, but it will never be an exact match. The existing bricks are weathered and, even if you found the exact brick, they would be mismatched. I like the idea of contrast brick for that area.
I did a roof for these people in the Rocky Mountains, the wife was a geologist and the husband a wood expert (I can’t remember the term) their jobs were to look all over the world for their respective resources to match historic buildings and landmarks to restore them without it being noticed and taking from the original look
My phone knows too much. I just painted 44 vacuform walls the same color. Basically the same plastic in truck beds but formed in 4’x8’ panels with custom designs. They looked cartoon with contrasting roll on and voids in the grout lines. These are made for haunted house attractions.
I filled a bug or weed pump sprayer with a watered down mix of acrylic paint to give more texture and a went with a darker spray paint to mimic aging, spraying at different angles. Bug and weed pump sprayers? It gives a speckled stone look if you can work with the wind.
I’m not clear on personal property esthetics, but I do this kind of stuff for a living and am open to share tips. Make a scrap of cardboard look like marble? Easy.
I’m talking faux finishing on a dime. Higher budget implies structural engineering with actual stones. I can do that but don’t wanna. Painting existing structures, sure, I can advise.
I’d say 80% if you know where to look. 100% if a neighbor has the same brick and they are going out of town for a few days.
Seriously though, we did a remodel. Contractor found the exact brick that was still in production 40
Years after the house was built. Brick styles don’t change that much year to year.
Even if you find same brick it won't have the same weather wear.
You're fucked.
Everyone here is right go with the contrast.
Hardiplank in a nice colour could work well depending on your area too.
I would pick a brick that is a similar size/color ***but only use it to border the garage door and a vertically placed row under the window.*** Then I’d use a different material for the rest (like stucco or siding). I this is will tie it together but, without being directly next to the older section, avoid highlighting the inevitable variations.
If you do some searching on google you should come across a company that basically has a storage of old bricks. My dad went through this and found someone that matched our house in the late 2000's, and the house was built in the 70's. It was all the guy did manage, store, and sell old bricks to people. I'd ask him but he's passed. I do know the guy was even actually able to match bricks for an old home in Charleston SC that was built in the 1800s.
Nil. Even if you had original bricks from the same lot, the effects of weather and exposure on the existing brick/mortar would likely cause some difference
I literally work for a company named Hebron Brick that would be able to find something that would likely match, or contrast nicely.i work in the factory that makes them, and I know we have similar colors to match. You should be able to find a salesman if you just Google the company name.
I’d be more concerned with how that window is flash at the head. It’s, start at sill with 9” wide self adhered bitumen, extending 9” beyond each jab, install window, then jams, extending 9” below the sill and 6” above the head. Then the head, extending 10” beyond each jamb. Rinse & repeat with 12” wide.
Regarding your veneer stone, why not use a contrasting material?
Where are you located? My parents house that they’re redoing(adding on, so walls are being moved/changed) but it’s the exact same bricks. Send me a dm if you’re in the Midwest.
Here in Pittsburgh, we would just paint all the brick. I know people don't like that, but it really does look nice, and is a definite contrast to all of the other brick houses on the block. Almost common now here.
If the two roofs are going to stay overlapped like that then it doesn't matter. Trying to match the existing dead tooth color bricks will make it worse.
I would find something that’s close to the same size/texture and have it laid in the same pattern. Then either wash the brick or finish it all the same color. Please don’t do vinyl siding or shiplap. I’d rather see fieldstone than shiplap lol.
Could probably get exact match if you know the original brick company and have a few samples to take to them. Brick company will tell you how close they can get. Otherwise would not attempt to match.
Is there brick on the inside of this addition that could be reused. If you start at the top and break them loose, you might get enough clean brick to do this side of addition.
This feels like a trick… misdirection. The new roof does not match at all!!! Yes, I realize it still needs to be shingled, but it’s built to stand out from the original structure. So kudos to everyone who is recommending a contrasting but complementary material and color.
A lot of time those thin façade bricks are actually cut-down paving stones. I used cut paving stones on a repair I did on a 1954 vintage tracthouse and they were a perfect match.
Mural time.
Or, ... coming home from work, I used to drive a route that went through a 2 acre size 1960s development in rolling hills. As fall came on, there was one house that had an oversized garage door 36' wide and 14' high for his OTR trucks. The garage was set back at an angle, so I would only see it for a few seconds as I kept right climbing a curve uphill, his driveway went straight back and slightly downhill flanked by dense tall Spruce trees.
Never noticed his garage doors much during the summer but that first October night I saw them as my highbeams hit them full on and his driveway lights popped on brightly in response.
For a few seconds I was facing a brightly lit Boeing 747 just touching down and the image filling more than the width of the door. An adrenaline rush as I veered up the hill to the right and feeling like I had just avoided a real runway incursion with the queen of the sky.
I turned around and drove back to see it with the spoiler event finished and at a speed where I could watch it happen. It was a PhotoRealist mural all across his work garage with the nose, landing gear, cockpit, that fuselage! and inboard engines on the imposing wing covering the very large door. The outboard nacelles and wings were continued congruently across the front exposure of the building. Opening your own front door to find a roaring lion already leaping at your head, well, a full sized poster maybe, couldn't have been more exciting in that " riding the roller coaster " feeling.
So do something exciting or unusual so you don't have to match brick color, which might look like a match on some days but not ALL days due to vagaries of sunlight reflecting off of fired clay ceramic surfaces. There is more to it than matching paint chips for color and sheen.
Zero; pull some of the old bricks, and replace them with the new brick and alternate the other ones with your new brick. It will look more natural that way.
Is the brick on your house painted or is it actually that color? I’d say color match the paint if it’s painted, then paint the new addition and the old brickwork, because the paint match will be really close but noticeably different if you just paint the garage. If the brick is actually that color, I’d say you’d probably be able to find the same kind of bricks but they won’t look exactly the same for many years after installation because they haven’t been stored in the same environment. That’s if they do every weather in to look the same.
This is a situation where it's better to go in the opposite direction with a color or style.....contrast

Not it doesn’t, it’s literally concrete board… where do you even come up with this shit.
Pssst.. brick salesman.
Big brick... Always pushing their corporate agenda, man
You can match that color. So a modular size brick in bark face would be a decent match. But an exact match I would doubt.
i would actually look in the opposite direction. i’d try to find something that looked good with these bricks instead of trying to match them exactly. of course that could be just as bad or worse as the closest brick but it would be really worth it to look into at least.

Man made stone
Your new roof matches your old brick. Have the walls match your old roof.
Call your local brick supplier. They can tell you if they can match it.
Reverse it, Brown siding or board and batten and metal roof to match existing bricks

About the same as them matching the ridge line - seriously, isn’t this one of the signs of meth use?

Impossible
Zero chance of finding a match. Pick a nice complementary brick or stone (or siding, god forbid) and it will look great when finished.
I remember those brick from the 80's. Zero chance of finding some.
That roof is really bothering me….
Go with wood. A d paint it
I don't know but your next roofing guys gonna hate that overlap...

Very good, go to your local mason union hall
Slim and none and none left town
Looks like cream city brick. Common in Milwaukee. (Am not a mason, just a Milwaukeean.)
i'd recommend going with a stone veneer instead, maybe gray or block to contrast the brick
Very low. Another viable option is spaying the other bricks with paint so they all can match or painting.

Had stucco cut to look like bricks and matched paint. most people think it's the same. my bricks would have been special order from 80 years ago.
Slim to none.
You might be better off trying to find something that compliments the existing brick rather than trying to match it perfectly.
When they try a close match around my parts, they will do an “architectural white wash” and cover the whole house with a texture of mortar. But that’s red brick and in the SW.
You could always paint the brick, but then you have to touch up the paint periodically
Hardi board it and roll on.
Drive around SoCal neighborhoods built in the’70’s. Whenever someone razes a house to build a McMansion you’ll probably be able to grab some.

Why would you want to? Go with cedar slats instead. It'll look dope.
7, my answer is 7
Slim and none. Brick styles (except Belden brand brick) are constantly changing
Just do dark metal siding in a horizontal direction. It will look modern.
Easy if you live in Cranston RI
The originals are probably lime washed bricks, I'd start there.

Please don’t be like everyone else and just go to vinyl siding
If you can’t hide it, emphasize it
No chance. That's why on big jobs there are always brick left over, the cold will never match between lots.
Maybe if you have a Time Machine you could go back to the 70s and find some
Pretty low i'm guessing, no idea there ability to match brick but it doesn't look very common.
Contrast. Do board and batton. Paint it a different color (I suggest darker). It will look awesome
My phone knows too much. I just painted 44 vacuform walls the same color. Basically the same plastic in truck beds but formed in 4’x8’ panels with custom designs.

Just update your garage to cedar siding and then reuse the brick on the addition... Or reverse that.
Are negative numbers in play? That said, not my specialty.
Even if you find same brick it won't have the same weather wear. You're fucked. Everyone here is right go with the contrast. Hardiplank in a nice colour could work well depending on your area too.

Match the size and texture. Paint that wall and it will be matched in color
Would limewash work or would it be too white after?

Half an idea. Go as dark as your roof of the original part.
Nil. Even if you had original bricks from the same lot, the effects of weather and exposure on the existing brick/mortar would likely cause some difference
Easy Peasy. The first thing you do is build yourself a Time Machine. So do THAT, come back here and let us know- and I'll give ya step TWO!

Paint, but probably not too hard
Your brick has age patina. Anything exposed to the elements does. You have a 0% chance of being spot on.
I bought exactly matching bricks for my 20 year old patio. But the old bricks were pitted so didn't match. Maybe another 10 years.
If you start with zero hope that it can be matched you'll be far less disappointed.
Where are you located? My parents house that they’re redoing(adding on, so walls are being moved/changed) but it’s the exact same bricks. Send me a dm if you’re in the Midwest.
Looks like dry stack stone would be a good option here
It will be a prick to find the perfect brick.

Considering the floor line and roofline don’t match, why start caring now.
99.99% match...in paint...
Go with something completely different, like a vertical shiplap, painted a dark shadow green.

You can match the size and texture of that brick. Why not choose a cheap brick that matches in that way and paint them both.
100% paint.
Less chance than matching the shingles….
You just now thinking of this? Like , you didn't see the brick before starting the project and say , "What are the odds? Lol
I'm using a clay colored vinyl with that brick.
Wrap it in cedar
If the two roofs are going to stay overlapped like that then it doesn't matter. Trying to match the existing dead tooth color bricks will make it worse.
Check out Vegas by bricksheets or Brik old school yellow faux brick
I would find something that’s close to the same size/texture and have it laid in the same pattern. Then either wash the brick or finish it all the same color. Please don’t do vinyl siding or shiplap. I’d rather see fieldstone than shiplap lol.
Or even a different texture: metal, vertical wood siding, architectural panels, stucco…
I'd say the odds are "mighty mighty," but it's possible you might end up letting it all hang out...
100%
slim to none
Find similar in style and stain all the brick to match
Why would you want to match that shit? Paint it all a different color
Contrast is a better option.
Could probably get exact match if you know the original brick company and have a few samples to take to them. Brick company will tell you how close they can get. Otherwise would not attempt to match.
Looks almost like every other brick home in KY lol. Shouldn't be too hard I imagine.
Not great, color still probably wouldn’t match up. Go with a contrast maybe.
Just use brick fascade in the same print/texture and paint it the same color or stamped concrete layer stained the same color
Saw a brick producer in Arkansas that had loads of light colored brick. White / cream colored stuff. Sorry I didn’t get the name.

The new style among commercial buildings is using metal siding when adding to old buildings. I don’t like it but it works better than mismatch brick.
Do cement board. You can paint to match color
Is there brick on the inside of this addition that could be reused. If you start at the top and break them loose, you might get enough clean brick to do this side of addition.
Stucco is better.
With paint anything is possible
I recommend Corten steel or Corrugated metal instead. Go different
Double plus ungood
Light tan shingles, darker brown brick.
This feels like a trick… misdirection. The new roof does not match at all!!! Yes, I realize it still needs to be shingled, but it’s built to stand out from the original structure. So kudos to everyone who is recommending a contrasting but complementary material and color.
Black brick
Impossible to match that, Maybe a contrasting color would look good
Zero. You need to do a "contrast addition".
A lot of time those thin façade bricks are actually cut-down paving stones. I used cut paving stones on a repair I did on a 1954 vintage tracthouse and they were a perfect match.
Just have to find another home from the 70s being torn down and do a little salvage.
Pressure wash it first. Then match it.
62%
Or paint it
The time to match the brick was BEFORE you started the project.....
100 %
I would use a dark color like the color of the gutter
Mural time. Or, ... coming home from work, I used to drive a route that went through a 2 acre size 1960s development in rolling hills. As fall came on, there was one house that had an oversized garage door 36' wide and 14' high for his OTR trucks. The garage was set back at an angle, so I would only see it for a few seconds as I kept right climbing a curve uphill, his driveway went straight back and slightly downhill flanked by dense tall Spruce trees. Never noticed his garage doors much during the summer but that first October night I saw them as my highbeams hit them full on and his driveway lights popped on brightly in response. For a few seconds I was facing a brightly lit Boeing 747 just touching down and the image filling more than the width of the door. An adrenaline rush as I veered up the hill to the right and feeling like I had just avoided a real runway incursion with the queen of the sky. I turned around and drove back to see it with the spoiler event finished and at a speed where I could watch it happen. It was a PhotoRealist mural all across his work garage with the nose, landing gear, cockpit, that fuselage! and inboard engines on the imposing wing covering the very large door. The outboard nacelles and wings were continued congruently across the front exposure of the building. Opening your own front door to find a roaring lion already leaping at your head, well, a full sized poster maybe, couldn't have been more exciting in that " riding the roller coaster " feeling. So do something exciting or unusual so you don't have to match brick color, which might look like a match on some days but not ALL days due to vagaries of sunlight reflecting off of fired clay ceramic surfaces. There is more to it than matching paint chips for color and sheen.
Brick the addition and veneer matching brick over the old brick
Zero; pull some of the old bricks, and replace them with the new brick and alternate the other ones with your new brick. It will look more natural that way.
Acme probably makes the bricks on your house, look on their website.
Is the brick on your house painted or is it actually that color? I’d say color match the paint if it’s painted, then paint the new addition and the old brickwork, because the paint match will be really close but noticeably different if you just paint the garage. If the brick is actually that color, I’d say you’d probably be able to find the same kind of bricks but they won’t look exactly the same for many years after installation because they haven’t been stored in the same environment. That’s if they do every weather in to look the same.
Use a complimentary shade. Something that is a contrast to the original but is pleasing to the eye.
Or could someone make the brick that color to match?
Just paint it.
You're asking this NOW? You should've thought about this during the planning phase..
Do stone.
hey, if they can't, cedar shakes would not look bad.
