Stone Trends is a leading countertop fabricator located in Sidney, B.C., Canada, on Vancouver Island that specializes in natural stone. Jeff Shaw, the owner and founder, started the business in 2004 and it remains a small, family-operated business with six full-time employees. However, the business has also embraced technology, operating a CNC bridge saw and two CNC routers.
The company website reminds prospective clients that Stone Trends focuses on quality work that may require a little time to complete. Shaw and his crew refuse to sacrifice quality for the sake of speed. At the same time, they understand the importance of schedules and always try to complete projects withinn 10 to 15 days after they’ve been approved.
Shaw and all of his employees are dedicated to the craft of natural stonework, and he ensures that all of them have been thoroughly educated on all the products they create and sell – “from the quarry to the kitchen.” However, the company also offers quartz countertops.
As an expert in the field, Shaw believes it is his responsibility to educate his customers about the materials he uses and his fabrication processes so that they may make strong decisions that are in line with their desires. To help in providing this educated, Stone Trends always has a fully stocked warehouse with a wide selection of full slabs. When Shaw first started his business, he checked out the competition, and one of the major shortcomings he discovered was that many fabricators were selling jobs with only samples of their materials.
