American Stone

At American Stone Company of Texas, LLP, we take pride in our longstanding commitment to superior customer service. Since 1993, we have put the client first and foremost in every project we've undertaken. As a result, we've acquired an abundance of glowing references. The ASC team prides itself on keeping up with cutting-edge construction trends, engaging strong communication skills and implementing innovation throughout every project. Our team consists of highly trained and qualified professionals at all levels of a project. At ASC, we prefer to become involved in a project from the early stage of material selection. In doing so, we are valuable to the architect, the owner and the construction company alike. Though it may seem overwhelming, choosing the perfect material for a project is critical. That is why, during this initial and important stage, we aim to educate all parties involved on the unique qualities of each material has to offer. From estimating through to the final punch list, project management plays an active role in every job. The ASC fabrication facility is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery that can fabricate up to 20,000 square feet per month onsite. In addition, our worldwide network of factories can produce material for projects of any size, according to our specifications. The entire ASC crew understands scheduling, safety and quality standards - and their importance to a project. ASC’s portfolio spans a multitude of project types: institutional; hospitality; retail; commercial; tenant build out and high-end residential. Our expertise includes natural stone surfaces, terrazzo, ceramic and porcelain tiles. What’s more, our installations run the gamut of vertical/ horizontal to interior/ exterior. Primarily, ASC works within the United States; however, we are not limited to domestic projects alone. We have also been involved with international projects throughout Europe, Japan and Korea.
