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, and he is still the one on it 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 and one point of contact. Ethen is answerable for the result.

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.
