Who We Are
Jan Barthelemy
Jan grew up surrounded in the granite industry with his father working as a designer for a Cold Spring Granite and Manufacturing in Central Minnesota. Jan's mother was naturally artistic as well, so naturally, it became easy for Jan to pick up. Jan created this company after working for Cold Spring Granite for 20 years and realizing he didn't want to travel for work anymore, and wanted to create his own hours and choose his own projects.Â
Jan has a passion for granite, and Columbaria work. It allows for his creative drawings to come to life, get hands on with projects and allows him the opportunity to problem solve and work with others in the industry.
In his free-time, Jan enjoys spending time with his wife at their cabin, and watching his grandchildren as they experience the world and learn new things everyday.

Chris and Andrew Barthelemy
Chris and Andrew are (you guessed it) Jan's sons. They have grown up with a father that was so passionate about granite work, that it became clear to them at a young age what they would like to do when they grew up!
Chris joined the Navy Reserves as a Seabee while still in High School. After serving for 6 years, while going to school, Chris decided to commit fully to the granite industry. He is great at working on projects where he can build things and use his knowledge daily to apply to new construction. He enjoys getting up each day to work in the industry he is passionate about, and that comes natural to him. You could say it's in his blood. In his free time, Chris enjoys everything outdoors, but particularly loves to spend time with his wife, daughter, and dog on a lake fishing or out in a field hunting.
Andrew brings a fresh look and approach to many projects while also meeting with clients or potential clients along the way. Andrew enjoys keeping busy with the granite countertop business and has been the trailblazer in that facet of the company. When Andrew is not working, he enjoys spending time with his dog, playing hockey, going to the cabin and hunting and fishing as well.

The love for the outdoors and hard work are two things these men are passionate about.
