"My parents started Amendola Marble and Stone as a tile showroom," explained Joseph Amendola, company president and CEO. "Then they started to do small jobs like saddles and corner shelves, and then it evolved to vanities. They started out cutting with a skill saw and garden hose."
The company steadily continued to grow, according to Amendola. "We started doing anything that could be fabricated out of slabs, such as fireplaces and countertops," he said. "We went from one to two kitchens a week to, at one point, doing 15 kitchens a day."
