About Us
Shade & Wise was founded in 1949 as a building material supply house in the heart of the City of Richmond, Virginia. John Shade’s and Louis Wise’s business philosophy was founded on the principles of fair pricing, and above all, quality customer service. Over the ensuing years, the company has evolved from a small general-purpose building supply house to a major distributor of masonry products.
Today, we are proud to say that each member of our sales team is a Certified Brick Specialist (certified by the Brick Industry Association), each of whom stands ready to promote the use of masonry and serve the masonry and architectural communities with their expertise.
The company currently operates two locations to serve the masonry needs of the Richmond metropolitan market. Our headquarters, located on Dabney Road in Henrico County, maintains a 34,000 sqft facility with four to six million brick in stock. Our branch office in Powhatan Virginia, is a 25,000 sqft distribution center with a state of the art showroom with an additional two to three million bricks on hand. Shade & Wise is now the largest independent masonry products distributor in Central Virginia.
The 1990’s brought enormous change and growth to Shade & Wise. As we enter the new millennium, we expect more of the same; all the while, adhering to the original principles of fair pricing and quality customer service which have served us well over the past 60 years.
