| Our SC location has been in operation since 2001, however our family's experience in the stone industry dates back to the 1970's. At that time, our founder, GK Naquin, was a partner in a New Orleans based company whose primary focus was the fabrication and installation of stone facades on high rise commercial buildings across the United States. Out of our SC location, we service customers in the entire state of South Carolina and into Western North Carolina. GK moved to Blowing Rock in 2018 and recognized the need for quality and timely installation of countertops and began servicing the Western North Carolina area. This move to Western North Carolina is now one of the most active locations for Stone Interiors.
