Best Stoneworks Inc. Best Stoneworks Inc. was founded in 1999 when Howard Garfinkel acquired a small manufacturer of custom faux stone. From conversations with old-time masons and architects Howard saw an opportunity to produce a product that could realistically duplicate the stated elegance of the traditional stone buildings found in the Philadelphia Area. Howard standardized the manufacturing process and developed specific product lines. "I learned early on that it is better to do a few things really well than a lot of things that are mediocre," Howard says.

Best Stoneworks built a substantial portfolio of completed projects – the cast stone veneer has been used on thousands of homes. To see properties near you, send an e-mail to info@beststoneworks.com.

Before investing in the business, Howard consulted a friend, Joe Schachner who had been co-owner in a local stone quarry for more than 40 years. After Joe had seen several completed faux stone projects, he said, "That is the future." After you have viewed several projects with Best Stoneworks’ Stone, Howard things that you will agree.
