Returning To Our Roots

 The Economic climate has effected everyone in construction in the past few years. The silver lining for us is we were forced to evaluate everything about our company. In our examination we came to some personal "Truths" and the most fundamental of those was that we were happiest doing what we had always done: Working with our hands.

  During the "Boom" we grew rapidly and became Managers, Salespeople, and Advisers to our installation crews. We were installers no more.  That changed us forever as a company and as a Family. As our market contracted the stress and scrambling almost ruined our love of this trade.

 We decided to go back to what we once loved so much...The installation, fabrication and creation of Tile and Stone projects.  I will keep this blog current as we transition back into a new and exiting reality.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TILE AND STONE COMPANY

IF OUR WORK IS NO LONGER CHALLENGING AND THE CRAFT WE CHOSE CEASES TO BE FUN THEN WE HAVE FAILED ULTIMATELY IN OUR CHOICES. WE CHOOSE EVERY DAY TO ACCEPT FAILURE AS NATURAL AND ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS IN CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT. WE ARE FOREVER EXAMINING OUR COMPANY AS A CULTURE IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE IT A EXITING AND INTERESTING PLACE TO BE. I PROMISED MY SELF LONG AGO TO BE ANYTHING BUT DULL AND MEDIOCRE. LIFE IS SIMPLY TOO SHORT TO FALL IN LINE.

MOSAICS: A LEARN'ED CRAFT OF TRADITION

MOSAICS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF OUR PASSIONS. THEY HOLD THE KEY TO SO MUCH OF OUR TRADES' COLLECTIVE PAST AND YET THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THIS CRAFT HAS LARGELY BEEN LOST TO TIME. WE HAVE STUDIED AND RESEARCHED THE CENTURIES OLD WORKS OF THE EUROPEAN AND ROMANESQUE TRADITIONS BUT THE GREATEST UNDERSTANDING IS COLLECTED THROUGH IMITATION. I BELIEVE ONLY THROUGH RIGOROUS HOURS OF APPLIED WORK CAN YOU BEGIN TO FORMULATE A STYLE THAT HAS CREDIBLE OWNERSHIP.

Counter Tops

Counter tops begin life with a template. We use a Digital system to generate a fast and very accurate template of projects. This allows us to generate a price for the project and generate a precise layout for the material. We are able to use the slab or slabs you select, with this template, to create a high definition image of your project. This allows you to approve the placement of seams, location of all appliance and sinks and see how the slabs will be used with regard to veining and movement of the stone. This Dynamic Digital Imaging System is one of very few in the world and it makes for a fun and creative session that we can work together on to ensure your project contains no surprises. What you see on the screen will be exactly what is installed. Most importantly this happens BEFORE we cut your stone. Want to see what a different stone looks like in your Kitchen? We can do that.

Our shop incorporates some of the most advanced CNC (Computer Numeric Controlled) cutting and milling technology in the world. This translates into a fast turn around, astonishing accuracy, and a competitive price. It also puts very few limits on the scope of your project. We do not charge extra for elaborate edges, radius', or for that matter sinks shaped like a martini glass. Effectively a robot does the difficult and formerly time consuming work. Jobs that would take us weeks to complete now take a matter of hours and the quality cannot be matched by human hands.

We consider client involvement to be critical in creating a perfect project and you are invited to be present during every phase of your creation.
