About Us

Founded in 2017 in Chicago, Mineral Stains LLC began as a brick staining company with a simple goal: to bring new life to aging masonry. In 2019, founder Matt Plechan co-founded Midwest Brick Stain—both companies continue to thrive independently today.

In 2023, Mineral Stains reorganized and relocated to Jacksonville, Florida. It is now proudly owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Matt Plechan and Martha Kruk.

Our philosophy is simple: educate and empower people on proper masonry preservation. We aim to be transparent and helpful by offering detailed product information, how-to guides, and real-world project examples. Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or distributor, our website and social media platforms are designed to support your success with Mineral Stains products.

We are committed to continuous education and outreach—because when it comes to masonry, we believe in preserving, not just covering up.
