The company was established to combine the talents and resources of several local stone companies in an effort to provide superior service to retailers throughout the United States.

One last thing to consider is warranties. We have heard a lot about the long-term warranties heralded by the manufacturers of fake stone. But if you read the fine print, most of those warranties are full of exclusions and ambiguous language that favors the manufacturer much more than the end user. One of the most blatant examples we have found is the exclusion for “discoloration due to airborne contaminants". A frequent complaint about man-made stone is the fading of colors over time. But good luck proving that this is not caused by “airborne contaminants”. Natural stone, on the other hand, tends to fade or discolor less than synthetic stone. Even if it does fade somewhat, it tends to add to the natural characteristics of the stone itself – instead of exposing an interior made of concrete.

Paying employees with cash to avoid payroll taxes (in some cases, the producer even deducts the taxes from the employees' checks and pockets it instead of paying the taxes to the appropriate agency). Illegal mining. Cheating on royalties due to owners of property where quarries are located. As we have pointed out in this article, there are many ways a producer can go about reducing their prices to their customers. Unfortunately, many of the methods commonly used are unethical at best and even illegal. The bottom line is this; do not be fooled, in this business you truly do get what you pay for.

With over 75 years of combined experience, Table Rock’s management team is committed to excellence.

Another common drawback to artificial stone is found in the installation process. Manufacturers of man-made stone commonly tout the ease of installation of their product. On the surface, this sounds as if it would be a desirable characteristic. However, an unintended consequence of this claim is that, oftentimes, contractors with little or no masonry experience are installing the product. In contrast, a reputable natural stone producer would never suggest that natural stone should be installed on the façade of a home by anyone other than a qualified mason.
