The Craftsman

Thirty years, one pair of hands on the standard.

Ethen Del Priore

Thirty years in the trade.

Ethen Del Priore has worked stone for thirty years. He and Rebekah founded Carolina Stone Craftsman in 2018.

That is the whole biography, and it is the part that matters. Thirty years is long enough to have set every kind of stone this climate throws at you, long enough to know which slab will fight you and which mortar joint will open in four winters, and long enough to have stopped guessing.

He is the one who walks your job. Not a salesperson with a folder, not a rep who hands you off after the deposit clears.

The standard

One brand, one crew, one standard.

Design, fabrication and installation happen under one roof. The people who template your job are the people who cut it and the people who set it. One contract, one point of contact, no subs pointing at each other when something needs to be made right.

It is the same standard applied whether the stone ends up on a kitchen island or across the back of a house. Countertops rise to meet the stonework, never the reverse.

The Locked Price Guarantee. “The number we quote is the number you pay. No allowances. No surprise change orders. One crew, one contract, one price.”

How it works

Start here

Spend the hour with the craftsman.

The Backyard Blueprint Walkthrough is a private design session at the Chapin showroom. Tour the showroom, the pavilion and the covered slab gallery, hand-pick your stone in person, and leave with a hand-drawn concept of your own space and a fixed all-in price.
