Encore’s Personal Story
Rocking the Industry
The Philosophy Behind Our Mission
Causing Quakes in the Industry
Shopping for natural stone should be one of the most exciting parts of designing a home. Too often, it becomes one of the most frustrating.
The stone industry has a history of a spaces that can be overwhelming, uninspired yards of sunbaked stone and overheated associates. You’re expected to spend money like buying a luxury car, but no one will give you pricing. An industry shrouded in secrets and hidden from the most important opinion-giver in the process: the homeowner.
After spending years inside the industry, Vinny realized the experience wasn’t serving the people it was supposed to.
Encore believes that creating a beautiful home should feel just as rewarding as living in one, so we reimagined how people shop for natural stone. It should be inspiring, not intimidating.
We want to demystify the industry and at the same time assist consumers in answering questions about the fabrication process, layout, bookmatching, finish options, edge profiles, pros and cons of each material, long-term stone care… and have some fun while we do it.
Beautiful is only the beginning.
The wrong stone can turn a beautiful idea into an expensive lesson.
A surface that doesn’t fit the way you live. A slab that looks different than you expected. Fabrication challenges, transportation… there are a lot of decisions hiding behind one beautiful piece of stone.
That’s why we’re here.
Our team knows the materials, understands the process and works alongside homeowners, designers and fabricators every day. Let us do the heavy lifting.
Every remarkable home begins as an idea.
Today, thousands of homeowners, interior designers, architects, builders, and fabricators trust Encore because they know our role isn’t to tell them what to create. Our role is to help bring their vision to life with clarity, confidence, and collaboration.
You don’t need to become a stone expert because we already are.
