The Stone Center Family

Tim Wiley: CEO

Tim is the third generation in this family business. He started working in the stone industry over 29 years ago, back when his father owned the company. He started out in the shop polishing tile edges. He worked his way up the ranks, and when his dad closed shop a few years later, took over the business and everything involved, from sales to cutting, polishing, and installation. At the time, Stone Center was one of only three stone fabrication shops in Portland. The industry has grown significantly since then and Stone Center along with it. Tim really has done it all. He is an expert in the field, and is upfront and honest about his work. With his many years of experience dealing with all types of materials and situations, he is the one we go to for solutions and new ideas. He lives by one of his mottos: “never be afraid to try something that you have not done,” and is always up for the challenge of turning your dream into a reality.

Sam Dentler: Materials Manager

Sam has spent a lifetime building and fixing things, from cars to houses; he’s done it all. He’s been with the Stone Center for 7 years and is truly a master of stone. If you’re looking for a remnant, Sam can tell you if we have that stone in stock, and what it’s best suited for. He’s a master with the saw and his attention to detail ensures that the layout and cut job are the first steps to a beautiful design. Proper cutting ensures things like book matched seams, an important detail that gives your project that extra wow factor.

Chris Pelletier: Production Manager

Once you’ve decided on a project and signed the contract, Chris takes over production and becomes your main contact throughout the job. He schedules measurements and installation and ensures that the job process runs as smoothly as possible through to finished product. He’s been with the Stone Center for 10 years now and has 18 years of experience in the construction industry. His keys to success are hard work, integrity, and a drive to be the best at everything he does.

He draws from years of experience to create your design in the best way possible, molding solid stone into a work of art.

Zoe Hall: Accountant

Sarah is the newest member of the Stone Center team and has been with the company for about a year. She works with your design ideas to create the technical shop drawings used for the cutting and fabrication of your project. Our CAD abilities allow us to design custom pieces from hand carved limestone mantles to marble slab bathtubs. She is also in charge of much of the organization of large commercial jobs, such as cruise ship renovations. She strives to “learn something new every day”.

“I have to say that our experience was beyond our expectation. When customer service comes to mind I think Stone Center. Thank you so much for a great experience throughout our remodeling process.” -Gary H.
