Incorporating more commercial business into the fabrication shop
Fifteen years after its founding, Perfection Connection Marble & Granite, Inc. in Carson City, NV,continues to thrive, offering high-end residential and commercial fabrication services
About 10 years ago, former Stone World editor, Michael Reis, traveled to Carson City, NV, to visit James Donaire of Perfection Connection Marble & Granite, Inc. At that time, Donaire faced a lot of competition in the market, as he specialized primarily in middle- to high-end residential fabrication, with a very small focus on the commercial market. Although he still specializes in high-end residential work, he has managed to incorporate a lot more commercial work over the years, which has aided his business and helped separate him from the competition.
“The last few years, we’ve been doing about 90% commercial work,” Donaire said. “And then on some years, we’re back to doing 90% residential. It flip-flops. During the economy bust around 2007, what kept me alive was doing commercial work — casinos and stuff like that.”
