Our Story
Our two Principals have over 50 years of combined experience in the tile and stone industry. All of which being commercial supply of projects both here in the U.S. and abroad. Our relationship is with the finest manufacturers of porcelain tile and ceramics, mosaic builders and stone factories all over the world, including factories from Africa, Europe, North America and South America, and it is based on years and years of supplying successful projects together. Both Principals of this company learned under the greatest partnership ever to exist in the tile Industry. Learning how to work with A&D from Gerry King and how to work with the contractor world from Tom Fielding, was the greatest education one can have. Tom & Gerry founded something special and we celebrate them as our mentors.
We have worked on over 100 retail malls throughout the United States, U.A.E., Europe and South America. We have supplied countless custom fabricated floor and wall patterns, medallions, and large scale custom built mosaics, all of them working with designers, contractors and development from all across the United States, meanwhile winning a few Spectrum awards along the way. We have installed countless unique floors into the highest level of hospitality projects, for all the major brands. We have cleaned problematic mall floors through the night, on our hands and knees, side-by-side with the installation crews on large retail malls. All of which was on behalf of the development and design teams, and all while working towards a single, common goal, of building a successful project together.
Our true talent lies in being able to work with an architectural design, on behalf of the companies that we partner with. We are able to look at a large scale project as drawn and we are able to point out where problems will occur, and make recommendations that work. From pattern design to functuality, we are here as your partner on a succesful project.
Our Mission
Surface Statement is a fully customizable, out of the box, fabricator and distributor of porcelain tile, gauged porcelain slabs, natural stone and mosaics. Our focus is all about the design. Our mission is to fully understand the architectural design idea, in order to be able to help make that come to life in a design setting. We take all of our years-on-years of experience in fabrication and supply, and bring that to the architect, interior designer, distributor, contractor and ultimatley the developer, in order to make the project fully tailored around the design intent. Our strength is in our ability to help the specifier and end user know what can and cannot be done, on behalf of the distributor and the finest manufacturers from around the world, and then to coordinate a timely and precise supply.
We understand the limits of what can and cannot be done with regards to fabrication of tile and stone, and we are here to work with everyone from the newest design team member to the most senior developer on the project. We don't manage people on our team, we educate. We are the Principals of our company, and we solve problems before they happen first hand. We are your voice within the factories. We are your hands in the kiln. We are your eyes on the drawings. We will help you to make a statement in design. A Surface Statement.
