Description of Company
Limestone Quarry For Sale
This company operates a limestone quarry which produces a variety of stone products used for building and landscaping purposes. These builder's stone products are offered in chopped, cut and flag stone in varying sizes to specialty cut stone including smooth-patio, mantels, windowsills, lintels and other specialty cuts. Colors offered include pure white, cream, brown, and blue/gray.

The company's attention to quality differentiates their stone from the competition's. Quality is their primary emphasis established through their own standards of using precise high-quality quarry and diamond cutting saws and hand loading the stone on trucks or pallets to prevent excessive breakage. This means never "scooping" the loads (picking up like gravel with a front-end loader), which is a much cheaper and easier method of loading, but greatly reduces both quality and percentage of usable product. Both of these items, which exemplifies their commitment to quality, minimizes waste and makes the stone easier to install. Customers learn that stone purchased from this company covers more square footage per ton than stone purchased from other quarries. Greater utilization of the product and better quality justifies the customers willingness to pay a premium for this product. This greater utilization of product also helps extend the life of the quarry.

This company also prides itself in repeat business based upon outstanding customer service. They thrive on orders which require specialty cuts. While they do maintain an inventory of standard stone available for immediate sale, the bulk of their work is custom cut to fit each individual order. Customers who have dealt with other quarries are impressed with the ease at which they are able to order and obtain these specialty orders. Many quarries are so interested in "pushing product" that they lose sight of the fact that most building projects require a variety of specialty cuts. This company's superior product quality, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service is what differentiates them from their competition.

Stone masons account for approximately Eighty-five percent of the customer orders, while the other fifteen percent go to building contractors. Orders are either delivered by the company's four delivery trucks anywhere in the state of Texas, or picked up on-site by the customer. Stone has been purchased by customers from across the United States with orders as far away as Mississippi, California, and Idaho, to name a few.

The owner intends to expand the company's capabilities by providing additional custom features. These ideas are being implemented and may be discussed during a confidential meeting.
