How you decide on the type of rock to use?
Stillwater encourages the selection of native stones in order to create a final design that blends with your existing landscape and is adaptable to West Coast patterns. However, sometimes the objectives of your project may call for Manufactured Stone, or stones that are not indigenous to the area. Stillwater prides themselves on being informed of the full range of products available, and is kept up-to-the-minute on new products entering the market. You can be assured that we will select the product that is best suited to your project needs.
Will stonework increase the value of my home?
Home buyers see fine stone masonry as a mark of quality and taste. Not only is stonework esthetically pleasing, but it can benefit your perceived property value by thousands of dollars through the association of durability and longevity.
Do you provide services to clients outside of the Lower Mainland?
Though based in Vancouver, BC, Stillwater provides services to clients in the Lower Mainland, Squamish, Whistler, the Gulf Islands and the Sunshine Coast. Projects on Vancouver Island are considered on a per project basis.
How much do our services cost?
Project costing is based on material selection, project size and complexity and specific details, including project design. For a project estimate, contact Pelle Wittenberg at 604.760.9030.
I have a picture of what I want - can you design my project based on this?
We aim to please and can consult on many levels to determine the best way to make your dream into a reality. We encourage clients to provide us with visual aides to assist with the articulation of your vision.
The house that I purchased has old stonemasonry work that needs repair. Can you do that?
Doing restorations provides a unique challenge of matching new patches or additions to an older style or technique. Stillwater's old world tradition to stonemasonry, combined with our knowledge and experience of modern technique enables us to provide a solution to your restoration needs.
