There's a significant difference between the stone broker who features a soapstone section, versus a dealer/designer/fabricator/installer who makes soapstone his livelihood. Unlike our competition, Hart Stoneworks purchases soapstone by the truckload, usually 45,000-50,000 pounds at a time. On any given day, Hart Stoneworks carries the largest inventory in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.

What does this mean to our customers? First, obviously, is selection. The broker with a small section of soapstone, slate or IceSTone offers you one or two choices, forcing you to purchase off-the-shelf from his available stock. Hart Stoneworks' wide inventory allows you to better express your personal style, taste and individuality.

Secondly, experience and expertise. Hart Stoneworks has not only the inventory, but also our own designers, templaters, fabricators and installers-so we get the job done quickly. Instead of the weeks you might normally expect to get from template to install, with Hart Stoneworks you wait only days. The average wait time is five to seven days for the typical installation, slightly longer if we build a sink to match. None of our Colorado, New Mexico or Wyoming competitors can make that claim. What's more, that fabrication, installation and fitting will be performed by craftsmen with unmatched skill, and years of day-to-day experience working with soapstone and slate.

Finally, when you believe in the natural warmth, functionality and subtle beauty of soapstone-the way that Hart does-then a wide selection is absolutely necessary. When you see one or two samples, you see a very limited picture of soapstone, slate or Ice Stone. Only when you browse our entire yard of 2,000 to 4,000 square feet of stone do you truly appreciate the beauty and range of this fascinating product.

Customers often arrive at our showroom with a very specific idea of what they want only to leave with something completely different. It's not because we couldn't satisfy that need, but because we helped spark their imagination by showing them the many varieties of soapstone, slate and Ice Stone.

It's that belief in the product, and the confidence that we can provide it to you better than anyone else, that inspires us at Hart Stoneworks. And we're eager to share that inspiration with you.
