Antique French Stone - Stone Fireplace Mantels

Caroline & John Tucker

To Whom it May Concern:

We purchased a home in the Weddington, NC area. During our renovations, I came across Charlotte Architectural Castings and gave them a call to see if we could replace one mantel. Stan returned my call promptly. He was polite and professional and we made an appointment for a house visit. When Stan arrived, we chatted briefly and as he responded, I became very aware that he absolutely understood my objective, my likes/dislike relative to style and design, my timing requirements and the complete scope of the project. We placed the order. Exactly when Stan committed to have the new mantel installed, he and a colleague came and installed the mantel. They were meticulous to protect my floor and furnishings. When they left that afternoon, the only thing I was left with (no cleaning!) was a beautiful new mantel, surround and hearth that are stunning and exceed my expectations! We loved the work so much, I called Stan back and started exploring other projects (another fireplace, some backsplash work, walkways). On one design, I wanted something different than Stan had done before so he and I custom designed the project. He never grumbled and told me to accept what he had. He was delighted to custom create a one of a kind piece. Just as before, things were done on-time, exactly on budget and the outcomes exceeded even our highest expectations.

I can recommend Charlotte Architectural and Stan without hesitation. Our home is not a modest home and we have excessively high standards. We have only praise and admiration for Charlotte Architectural and the work they do, the manner in which they conduct themselves and the integrity that they possess.

Should you wish to speak with me directly, you can get my contact information from Stan.

Caroline and John Tucker

To whom it may concern:

It has been my pleasure to work with Charlotte Architectural Casting. After many years of using their services, manufacturing and installation of the cast stone products, we have never once had any problems. All materials were always delivered and install on or before the due date. Quality is always superb. Their work ethic is exemplarily. They would always make sure that the costumer is 100% satisfied at all times. I would highly recommend Charlotte Architectural Casting as a cast stone fabricator and installer.

In 2011, we were looking to renovate our fireplace – one of the few things we had put off during our downstairs renovation in 2010. Our architect Frank Smith highly recommended Charlotte Architectural Casting because he had done work with them before. Stan came in and showed us tons of options and we finally decided on one that was very close to a picture we saw in Architectural Digest. Within a couple of weeks, the fireplace was installed and looking fantastic!

Later, we contacted Stan again because we had finally decided on some backsplash ideas. One came loosely from a magazine and the other came from a piece of artwork my wife saw. We showed Stan the picture and we were off to the races! After another couple of weeks, they came back and installed the tiles. We REALLY like the backsplash tiles because they match the style of the house and are very custom looking (you can’t buy triangle tiles as far as we can tell).

During the installation of the tiles, one of the CAC guys came up with the idea of the range hood. Once again, a couple of weeks later and it was installed and beautiful! We upgraded to the copper on the face and it came out great.

We are extremely happy with the work that CAC does and recommend them to everybody that will listen. Here is a set of pictures showing the work we have had done. If you would like to come to our house to see it in person, feel free to contact Stan and we’ll work it out!
