Services
StoneCraft in Chicago IL, supplies custom cast stone to masons and builders throughout the Chicagoland area. We produce custom cast stone at our production facility in Steger, IL. We handcraft our stone with custom molds to create cast stone that is unique to our customers’ orders. Each stone is carefully inspected and packaged to ensure the highest quality product. Our stones are made of multiple aggregates and portland cement in order to create a strong, durable and long lasting product. Due to the fact that our stone is made with portland and not lime or natural limestone it can handle the heavy salting that occurs around the Chicagoland area. Our stone can also be sealed to ensure an even longer lasting finish that will keep water and debris from penetrating or coloring the stone.
We also deliver our product all throughout the Chicagoland area and beyond to our customers. StoneCraft delivery trucks are delivering products daily to our customers and always get to our customers’ jobsites when needed. Our delivery drivers are very accommodating and will deliver stone wherever and whenever the customer needs it. StoneCraft in Chicago IL has multiple trucks in its delivery fleet and can bring out larger trucks for larger jobs and also send smaller trucks out for jobs that are hard to reach and in busier parts of the city. Our drivers are able to hand unload and ensure the stone is delivered safely and without blemish.
StoneCraft in Chicago IL, also offers free estimates on any type of project. By calling our number on our website we will ensure that your projects will be thoroughly read and estimated. Our estimators will quickly and clearly lay out what the cost of jobs will be and the lead time it will take in order to finish an order. Due to the complexity of certain jobs and the customization of each stone many prices will vary, but estimates are always clearly labeled and detailed for the customer. Our estimators will also go on site to measure jobs for our customers to ensure the right pieces of stone are made for the job. This saves our customers time and money and the headache of writing up orders. Many of our delivery drivers are able to measure jobs while on the road so estimates are done quickly, creating fast turn around times for orders that need to be completed quickly.
Another service StoneCraft, in Chicago IL, offers is stone engraving. Our skilled stone engravers carefully sandblast into different types of stone to create address stones, memory stones, pavers, signs, and whatever else some can think of to engrave. Engraving stone is a detailed process that involves time and skill. Each engraved stone is carefully created by using a blast media to cut into the stone and then usually painted with a very durable paint. The paint used can last over fifty years or more ensuring a long lasting and beautiful engraving. StoneCraft in Chicago IL, is able to engrave stones with all different types of fonts, pictures, symbols and artwork. Free estimates and samples of what the engraved stone will look like are offered to our customers in order for them to be sure of what they are ordering. We work closely with our customers to ensure what they want ordered always comes to be and that they are always completely satisfied with the end result of the artwork. Address stones are the main product we make that involves engraving, but our company has done many different types of engraving projects such as giant granite panels for the Chicago Cubs. Additionally, our company also will do projects such as simple pavers with names on them for fundraisers or churches. No job is too small for us at StoneCraft and we always are willing to partner with new customers on projects they come to us with.
Another service we provide at StoneCraft in Chicago IL, is replicating antique stones such as terracotta and limestone. At StoneCraft, we have the ability to recreate extremely complex and odd shaped stones. We do this by building molds that are a perfect match to existing stone that either is broken or needs to be replaced. We then are able to produce many pieces quickly and at a cost that is better than the competition. Sometimes to ensure that we create exact replicas we use rubber molds that can produce a perfect replica for our customers. This allows StoneCraft to work on buildings over a hundred years old that need repairing or new construction added to the building. With just a single sample piece, we can create a new mold and mass produce any type of stone. It is also of great value to our customers that we are able to color our stone and match the texture and look of virtually any type of stone.
Last, StoneCraft in Chicago IL, allows walk-ins at any time to come in and review building projects and blueprints. We are open Monday through Friday and almost always have someone to help with orders and questions about jobs. We have many different types of samples that we give to customers in order for them to get their building supplies approved. We are always willing to answer questions and point our customers in the right direction. Providing samples for builders and homeowners is always a good way to ensure that the color chosen is the one the customer has approved. Our sample kits are also a great way to show our customers, not only the color of our stone but also the texture that a certain mix has. Being able to adjust to so many different characteristics of a certain stone allows StoneCraft in Chicago IL, to meet our customers needs and allows the company to stay competitive with our price and quality. These services are what have kept the business thriving for so long and attributed to our company expanding over the years.
