As an Accredited Natural Stone Company through the Natural Stone Institute, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and shop safety. We're not a big-box or high-volume production shop — we specialize in high-end residential and commercial work, the small, custom, intricate projects that other fabricators won't touch.
Our material mix is increasingly premium natural stone like quartzite, alongside quartz and granite.Our shop runs modern GMM and CMS equipment, including 5-axis and single-table CNC saws, a waterjet, multiple CNC machines, edge and face polishers, and Slabsmith for slab scanning and inventory. We run a fully wet shop and take dust control, masks, and safety compliance seriously — it's a core part of how we operate.About the RoleWe're hiring a Saw Operator to run cutting programs on stone, engineered stone, and porcelain slabs — from reading the job packet to loading finished pieces for the next stage of production.
