Why Choose Limestone for Your Project?
Indiana limestone has been the premier building stone in America for over 150 years. Its natural beauty, workability, and durability make it the ideal choice for window sills, wall caps, copings, steps, columns, and architectural accents on both residential homes and commercial buildings.
Unlike cast stone or precast concrete, natural limestone develops a beautiful patina over time, is easy to clean and maintain, and can be custom cut to exact specifications. It complements brick, block, and stone masonry perfectly and adds significant value to any property.
Common Limestone Applications:
- Window sills — both replacement of deteriorated sills and new installations
- Wall caps and copings to protect the top of masonry walls from water
- Front steps, stoops, and landing platforms for elegant entryways
- Column wraps and pillar caps for porches and architectural features
- Building facade accents, banding, and decorative trim elements
Our Installation Process
Every limestone installation begins with careful planning and ends with precision craftsmanship. Here's how we deliver exceptional results.
1. Design & Selection
We work with you to select the right limestone type, finish, and profile for your project. Precise field measurements are taken and detailed shop drawings are created for custom fabrication.
2. Custom Cutting & Prep
Each limestone piece is custom cut to exact specifications with proper drip edges, slopes, and profiles. The installation area is prepared with proper substrate, flashing, and waterproofing as needed.
3. Installation & Finishing
Limestone pieces are set with high-strength mortar and properly shimmed for level and plumb. Joints are pointed with color-matched mortar and sealed for lasting weather protection.

Limestone Types & Finishes
We work with premium Indiana limestone in a variety of grades, colors, and finishes to match any architectural style.
Indiana Limestone (Select Grade)
The finest grade with minimal veining and uniform color. Ideal for high-visibility applications like front steps, sills, and facade accents.
Indiana Limestone (Standard Grade)
Slightly more natural variation in color and veining. An excellent choice for caps, copings, and residential sills at a more accessible price point.
Honed Finish
Smooth, matte surface achieved by machine grinding. Creates an elegant, refined appearance ideal for sills, caps, and architectural trim.
Rock-Face (Split) Finish
Rough, natural-looking surface created by splitting the stone. Adds texture and character to steps, walls, and rustic architectural elements.
Thermal Finish
Textured, slip-resistant surface created by flame treatment. Perfect for steps, treads, and walkways where traction is important.
Custom Profiles & Mouldings
CNC-cut custom profiles including bullnose, ogee, chamfer, and decorative mouldings for unique architectural details and restoration projects.
