Restoration & Source Matching
Matching existing Alabama marble.
Source matching and candidate material supply for courthouse, church, campus, civic and historic-building repair, replacement panels and additions.
Source-Level Starting Point
Connect existing Sylacauga marble to current quarry material
When existing work is known to be Sylacauga marble, current production from the same deposit is the strongest source-level starting point for repair, replacement panels or additions.
Alabama Marble Company supplies candidate match material directly from Sylacauga Marble Quarry, subject to current availability, approved range and processing requirements. A final match depends on the original stone, age, exposure, finish, weathering and the viewing context.
Alabama Marble Company provides source matching and material supply. Conservation assessment, engineering, fabrication, installation and restoration contracting are performed by others.

Matching Process
Move from evidence to an approved candidate range
Review current source material
Compare current blocks, cut direction, range and finish against the documented installation. Quarry visits can support important source-level decisions.
Define the project match
Use labeled samples, range references and, when scale or sensitivity requires it, a mock-up in the actual installation context.
Who We Support
A material partner for the full restoration team
We coordinate source and candidate material questions with architects, preservation consultants, owners, public agencies, contractors, fabricators and conservators.
The work can range from finding matching material for one replacement element to planning source review and range approval for a major addition.
Historic Record
Sylacauga marble across generations
The Lincoln Memorial, U.S. Supreme Court, Washington D.C. Temple and other civic and religious uses document a long architectural record. For the Washington D.C. Temple renovation, matching material was obtained from the reopened Sylacauga source.
