About us

Family-Owned. Local. Pouring Since 2002.

One crew, one office, and the same people from the first phone call to the last coat of sealer.

Who we are

Distinctive Stone & Concrete is a family-owned contractor based on Route 11 in Central Square, New York. Tony started the company in 2002, and more than twenty years later it's still run out of the same town by the same family, with a crew that pours every job ourselves. We don't broker work out, and the people who quote your project are the people who answer the phone when you call back.

We specialize in stamped and decorative concrete: patios, pool decks, walkways, porches and steps with the look of stone, slate, brick or wood plank. We pour just as much plain broom-finished concrete, which is still the right answer for most driveways, aprons, pads and floors in this climate. And we come back for the part most contractors skip, cleaning and resealing the concrete every few years so it keeps looking the way it did the week we finished.

The people you'll deal with

Tony, owner

Founded the company in 2002 and is still on site. If there's a question about how a job should be built, it ends with him.

Nick, sales manager

Comes out for the estimate, measures, talks through pattern and color options, and sends a written quote with good-better-best pricing.

Maria, office manager

Scheduling, billing and the texts, calls and emails that keep you informed from booking through final payment. The reviews mention her by name for a reason.

How we build

Every yard of concrete we pour is reinforced with rebar over a compacted stone base, at a minimum of 4,000 PSI, with control joints cut where the slab needs them. Stamped work gets a base color and an accent release, then a solvent-based sealer with an anti-skid additive once it has cured. We pitch everything to move water away from the house, and we clean the site before we leave. None of that is unusual on paper; the difference is that the same crew does it the same way on every job, and the owner checks the work.

We give written estimates, usually with two or three options at different price points, and we offer 0% financing through Wisetack for clients who'd rather spread the cost out. The care guides we hand out at the end of every job are on this site too.

Part of Central Square

We've grown up with this town. We sponsor local school sports, we've poured curbs and walkways for the Moyers Corners Fire Department and a patio for the YMCA, and most of our crew lives within twenty minutes of the shop. We're also building a new facility in Central Square to give our team a better place to work, which says something about where we plan to be for the next twenty years.

Our work shows up all over Facebook and Instagram, and in the reviews from the people we've worked for. If you're thinking about a project, pick a time for a free estimate or call (315) 676-0005.
