Stone is a high-end building material that can substantially add to the cost of a project. With the help of chemical sealers, the durability of the stone is ensured, and the beauty of the work is preserved.

Slate was the material of choice for a private residence in Sebastopol, CA, an influence the homeowner picked up from memories of the Baltimore home in which he grew up.
