About

Continental Cut Stone has achieved over 35 years of growth. We have honed our craft and improved our technology to meet the demands of our innovative and driven design community, builders and customers.

We are a nationally recognized Architectural Cut Stone fabrication mill and quarrier of Cream and Shell and Lueders Limestone. We specialize in custom cut limestone elements, quarried dimensional building and landscape products.

Architects, Masons and Contractors continue to partner with CCS as their premier supplier. We continue to combine old world craftsmanship with cutting edge technology.

Unlike many companies providing limestone building materials, Continental Cut Stone has its own fabrication mill and limestone quarry sources. Our operations quarry “Cordova” Cream, Shell Stone and Lueders Limestone adding to efficiencies in production and cost effectiveness to the bottom line.
