Quality
Quality can only be achieved by a complete dedication to it by everyone on the team. Hiring a builder with decades of experience and a proven track record is the way to get there. Coach Duane Fanning once said “Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only winners perfect the little things.”
This philosophy is why we created the process we use today. After utilizing every construction implementation method available, we ultimately learned that you can be a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. So instead of having a large, expensive staff, we have partnered with (and trained) the best talent in each field, and have them competitively price each project against another one of their contemporaries. This ensures two things: (1) that each client is getting the best tradesman for their project, and (2) each trade has submitted the most competitive price. Enjoy the posts below to see our promises turn into action.
The Pinkerton Family
It has been a pleasure working with LSC. They have been a wonderful team to work with and our new house is amazing! Mike Bates was an excellent leader on our project. We were pleased with everyone who helped us throughout the process from Laura with IDology to all the subs who did great work. We are happy to be enjoying our new porch for the first time as we write this! Lori Pinkerton

Designer Review
Living Stone has become a cutting edge institution in design and construction excellence that inspires many others to likewise emulate your example. But examples of excellence to aspire to may best be absorbed and appreciated in smaller doses. Living Stone has always set the tone of excellence combined with sincere humbleness and humility which is highly regarded in the community and among competitors who continue to applaud Living Stone’s achievements.
