Any masonry project
begins with selecting the right materials. DIRTCO's skilled craftsmen
go right to the quarry to identify and prepare raw stone appropriate
for the project.
At the job
site, DIRTCO takes great care to minimize the dust and debris that
goes along with any stone work. For a natural look, power tools
only get you so far. It takes the keen eye and steady hand of a
true masonry expert to make the final hand cuts.
Our crews
are diligent about keeping the owners property clean and safe. Tools
and raw materials are stored in a way that causes the least inconvenience
to the client and reduces the impact on existing grounds.
Properly
preparing the work area makes the finished masonry work more attractive
and last longer. The placement of the fireplace in this home makes
it the focal point of the room. By mixing stone patterns, adding
a stone mantle and an arch to the fireplace opening, DIRTCO created
an exquisite new look .
With all
the utilities in place and the walls properly prepared the first
courses of stone are set in place and the fireplace takes shape.
Throughout the project our crews are considerate and respect the
client's time and space.
Arches matching
the fireplace top each alcove to add symmetry to the random background
stonework. Recessed lights will a provide soft glow against the
light sandstone.
The finished
stonework brings a warmth to the room that was lacking with the
original sheetrock construction. When decorated, guests will be
drawn to this cozy area.
When you are considering an upgrade to your kitchens and baths
you should consider the luxurious look of custom sinks, countertops
and tile from designer Eric Billig
Works. The variety styles that can be incorporated are
durable and unique.
The homeowner also
had DIRTCO apply this same masonry style to a more private area
of the house with stunning results.
A small
two sided fireplace adds a relaxing element to the bedroom and bath.
Soaking in a warm tub of bubbles, with a glass of wine, by the elegent
fireplace is the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.
