At the heart of Quality Stone Concepts’ business is an appreciation for a team environment and sense of community. Owned by M. Ryan Culicerto, Terry J. McClaskey and Tony Pirrone, the Virginia Beach, VA-based fabrication company has widely transitioned since it was founded in 2007. Today, it serves both the residential and commercial markets and operates as a dual stone fabricator and cabinet supplier.
The three business partners had crossed paths in their previous careers, and each brought their experience into the business. “I was working in fabrication for 18 years prior,” said Pirrone. “I got to a point that I wanted to go into business myself after having started a tile contracting business in 1984. After a while, my business partner and I were also building houses. In 1990, I left that business and went to work for a local fabricator doing sales in 40 states and managing production.”
