3 Characteristics Of A Great Stone Supplier

Mike Gregorio | April 18, 2022

Every time you want to invest in a project, you may have concerns about whether you are taking the right steps. Be it quality-to price ratio, matching the cost to your budget, or getting a reliable supplier, there are different factors you must consider before making your decision. Here’s the good news! In DC, Delaware, Maryland, or Virginia, Ernest Maier has what you need. The following are the most crucial factors to think about when choosing the best natural stone supplier to meet your requirements.

Technical Expertise

Among the initial things you ought to do is investigate the business’ years of industry experience. The company’s longevity—particularly its owners and representatives—demonstrates dependability and technical expertise. A company’s experience in offering natural stone is a sign that their clients and business partners regard them as reliable. Seeking recommendations from personal contacts is generally a good idea as well.

Variety of Quality Stones Offered

If you are unsure of what type of natural stone to get, it’s important to consider your purpose for using such quality stones. Are you building a patio, walkway, pool deck, or roof? You might want to consider opting for our Pennsylvania Flagstone. The shifting temps do not present a problem for the stone. They are also simple to keep clean as the only maintenance required for flagstone is to sweep it or spray it down. If you are looking for a more polished look for your office, home, or fireplace, you might want to consider going for our Indiana Limestone. It is one of the most resilient natural materials on the market and can tolerate bustling environments.

Exceptional Customer Relations

It is important to check if your supplier has exceptional service beyond the financial transaction. Having a good supplier would mean they are willing to go the extra mile to fulfill all your needs and concerns. Checking customer reviews is one method for doing this, as they are one of the most priceless features you can rely on. It is an indication that they offer excellent products and services and are accessible if you have any questions.

Outstanding Manufacturing Process

For those opting for natural stone, having professionals who will carefully examine each step of the production and refinement process is essential. This will guarantee that all stones have uniform sizes, thicknesses, and edge profiles. While color and look will naturally vary, sourcing from the same lot will reduce the unevenness. It is usually advantageous for a landscape contractor or natural stone supplier to work with a natural stone provider who sets its own production standards.
