Putting stone on fireplaces, building hearths and supplying mantels have all become specialties at P&W. As you can see from the pictures we can truly bring your imagination to reality whether we’re doing an entire wall or bringing the fireplace to the top of your cathedral ceiling. Hearths can be raised or fit flush with the floor and covered in either man-made or natural stone. Mantels can also be made of either man-made or natural stone but a very attractive alternative is a wooden mantel. We carry and can custom cut wood mantels of any local wood species and also have access to antique heart pine and the rarest of all - chestnut. All of our native species mantels are cut locally and slowly kiln dried to insure that the wood does not twist or crack.
