Vincenzo Oliviero came to this country from Italy without much knowledge of the English language and joined a small fabrication shop cutting granite in 1987. He eventually moved up to a larger company in 1992, where after a while he graduated to a managerial position for five or six years. With some experience under his belt, Oliviero soon decided he wanted to go out on his own, and found a partner with whom to open their own fabrication shop that would service New Brunswick and surrounding areas for 17 years. Then in 2012, he finally decided to go solo, working with a few other fabricators before opening up Stone by Vincenzo in 2014 in Lake Hopatcong, NJ.
Oliviero prides himself on offering his customers top-of-the-line stones and customer service. “We don’t lower our prices to compete with companies going after the lowest price,” he said. “We serve a very special clientele that want a professional look, want professional service and want to work with professionals. We offer all of that, and in a three-to-five-day turnaround time. In the industry customers can easily find a cheaper price, but not better quality.”
