Providing high-quality service to the Northern California market
Based in Livermore, CA, Sosa Granite and Marble is a family business focused on providing high-quality products and customer service to its clients. The company was founded by company President Mario Sosa, Sr. 23 years ago, and today Mario Sosa, Jr. serves as the company’s Vice President. Together, the father-and-son team concentrates its efforts on running a successful fabrication operation that serves the San Francisco Bay area and Northern California.
“I have been in the industry for 34 years,” said Mario Sosa, Sr. “I was lucky, because you are only as good as who teaches you. I worked for a company in Richmond, [CA]. The owners were Old World Italians. They were artists in what they were doing. I learned from them.”
Earlier in his career, Sosa also worked for a company that only did kitchens. “I went in as a subcontractor,” he said. “I learned quickly that you can’t mess around.”
Sosa went on to say that because of the experience he learned from doing kitchens, 19 years ago he developed a system to replace a countertop in one day. “We measure the countertop and then the day of the install, we tear out the tile, fix the plywood and install the new countertop,” he said. “That was a big spurt of our growth. There was no competition. Now companies are trying to catch that.”
