AND GREW
Along the way, we have become ever more involved in commercial work, which brings a new aspect to what we fabricate. The commercial jobs often involve an unparalleled level of detail and creativity that we find challenging and invigorating. Working with our customers has brought a personal dimension to my life that I never anticipated. Helping someone through a major remodel process and helping them make the decisions necessary for their countertop selection so they can have the beautiful kitchen of their dreams is an experience in which I find great joy and satisfaction. I greatly enjoy being in this industry and am honored by the people that give us an opportunity to be of service.
WE KEPT OUR NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE
I was that “two men and a truck” company for several years. Nothing in life worth doing is easy. But we kept growing. As we grew and I added crews, we moved the business from my home into a small rental unit. We also started doing some of our own fabrication and then branching out into granite and marble. The business grew and we moved into a 6,000 sq. ft. facility at 8100 East Broadway Avenue. We were now a full-fledged fabrication shop that worked with all major countertop products. When I started this company, I thought “How complicated can it be; a few rectangles?” Wow, how naïve! The tremendous range of color, choices, designs and products has created a fascinating opportunity to learn and grow. We have built a staff of dedicated craftsmen that passionately care about the quality of their work and the success of StoneTop, Inc.
WE STARTED OUT SMALL
I had grown up on a family farm in Cedar Falls, Iowa and many times during my life had considered running my own business. In 2001, I had an opportunity to strike off in a new direction for my career. I finally felt that it was the right time. So, I started StoneTop, Inc. to template and install a new quartz product, Silestone, by Cosentino. I worked with a large fabrication shop to provide these services to a big box store and a variety of other customers.
