James Dente – President

What does your company do?
We are one of the largest wholesale and stocking distributers of natural stone in the country, showcasing over 400 different materials that can be viewed in our 60,000 square-foot indoor warehouse. We import fine marble, quartzite, granite, onyx, soapstone, limestone, travertine and slate from renowned quarries all over the world along with quartz and porcelain.

What geographic areas does your company serve?
We find that most of our customers are located in the tri-state area, however, we regularly arrange shipping nationwide.

In what areas does your company specialize?
Our reputation is built on the extraordinary, with stone selections focused on leading-edge design trends. Importing only "the chosen ones," we hand select unique blocks that will make your job "the one and only."

How long has your company been in business and how did you get started?
We are second generation owned and operated, founded in 1965.

What should potential clients know about your company?
Although we are wholesale distributors, we welcome trade professionals as well as the public to view and select from our stone slab gallery and experience our first-class customer service.

What drives you to do the hard work necessary to run your own business?
What drives me every day is keeping natural stone in the market and in front of our customers. While manmade material is flooding the marketplace, we choose to stick with our roots and focus mainly on importing natural stone. There is a lot of misinformation out there and we do our best to educate our customers on the best options for their projects. Natural stone is something that can't be replicated and stands the test of time.
