Committed to Redefining the Beauty of Nature's Foundation
OUR STORY
More than fifty years ago on January 26, 1966 in Ogden, Utah, G.S. Harris Co., Inc. sold its first order of Harristone. Founder, Grant Harris, with humble beginnings, had only a tiny office, one employee and his vision for the future. Given amazing insight and ingenuity, Grant set forth a remarkable blueprint that still delivers award-winning products for today’s stone veneer marketplace.
More than 50 years later, G.S. Harris Co. Inc. is still family owned and operated. Harristone remains a pioneer in the stone industry that has grown to become one of the largest, most well-respected stone veneer companies in the U.S. Thank you for an excellent 50 years, and here’s to another 50 to come.
WHY HARRISTONE
Harristone veneers deliver the authentic look and feel of natural stone without the expensive price tag. That’s why it is used as an accent on everything from new and existing homes to commercial buildings.
Our lightweight, all-masonry Harristone requires no footings, foundation or structural support when used on a solid surface. It simply offers the genuine look and feel of natural stone and installs quickly and easily. That explains why Harristone is the manufactured stone veneer of choice for professional masons and remodeling specialists across the country.
THE ART OF CREATING HARRISTONE
There’s an art to creating authentic and easy-to-use stone. An art we’ve been perfecting for over 50 years. We begin the process by scouring the country to find the most expressive and exceptional stones. From Southwestern deserts and glacially fed rivers to the rolling hills of America’s heartland, our search for characteristic stone has taken us to some spectacular places. After hand-selecting stones in a variety of sizes and shapes, we return to our manufacturing facility where we create custom-molds of each stone. It’s during this casting process that our expert masons chisel, smooth and refine each stone pattern. As a result, Harristone’s manufactured stones install quickly and easily, whether you’re a professional mason or handling the job yourself.
