The 2016 season is off to a big start thanks to an unusually mild winter.  We stocked heavily over the winter months and already most of our dealers have stocked their yards for the spring rush.  We continue to be amazed at the surging popularity of Blue Mist Granite as dependable alternative to thermal bluestone.  Bluestone production has also improved in Pennsylvania and New York have as they have taken advantage of the warm winter.  Our dealers are also reporting big increases project work as compared to prior years.  We see it in our fabrication shop and specials business which never slowed down over the winter months.  In this newsletter we draw your attention to our expanding line of products including Umbria granite and our natural thin veneers.  In addition we are also introducing a 10% off  promotion for thermal full-color bluestone.  2016 is shaping up to be even busier than last year!
