INDEX: June 2014
This month we feature a well-established shop that offers a high quality work and a guaranteed turn-around time – a rare combination in this industry. Not only has StoneWorks, Inc. learned to work efficiently, they take pride in training their crew and providing a top-notch templating and review process to provide the best results for their clients. On the other end of the spectrum, we also present Funky Rock Designs, which takes granite stones in their natural state and turns them into functional, arty objects. We are also pleased to present the third annual Coverings Installation and Design Awards, residential and commercial projects that stretch the boundaries of exceptional work in stone and tile. In our Restoration and Maintenance, you’ll find great informative on what impregnating sealers and color enhancers can and cannot do. I hope you enjoy the wit, wisdom and industry news offered this month.
