    Beautiful work! Stunning design and install. The entire team and process was great especially in a time when we are faced with so many challenges. The communication was fabulous and the install team was meticulous in their attention to detail and took great pride in their craftsmanship.

    Architectural Stone Elements installed the most amazing limestone fireplace in my condo in last weekend, and FAR EXCEEDED my expectations!My initial visit was 12 months ago, just to get ideas and find a piece that brought me joy. To be honest, I was hesitant at first because I thought the selection would be limited and overpriced, but decided to go anyway, and I’m SO HAPPY I did!Once I arrived, I grabbed my heart in awe. I was not prepared for this level of beauty. The options/choices were endless, and the bold contrast of the white limestone literally took my breath away. James and Martin were both so knowledgeable, friendly, and have great attention to detail!It took me a few trips/months to narrow my selection (hardest part) and save up for the piece, but I finally did it!! I HAD to HAVE IT! When it came to remodeling my 2-bedroom condo, I wanted something that would “WOW” my guests and/or future homebuyers. My fireplace is the first thing my guests see, and I want them to feel in awe, every time they enter my home. Once it was installed, I cried (a few times). I felt so proud that this was mine, in my home. This one-of-a-kind piece of art, that was formed in oceans and lakes over millions of years ago, is mother nature telling her story. Limestone (unlike porcelain, ceramic, or glass tile) will never go out of style (as it was used for the ancient pyramids, cathedrals, and other historic sites). I’m honored to have it displayed in my Living Room for my family and friends to enjoy for decades. The reactions I’ve received have been priceless!Again, I’d like to thank James and the ASE team for the outstanding service I’ve received over the last 12 months. Everyone has been amazing, dependable, respectful, friendly, and talented craftsmen! I thank you for joy I feel every time I look at my fireplace!And Yes, I am a real customer. :-)

    James Valentine was easy to work with. His team designed and built stunning fireplace surrounds, door arches and carved stone caps. They do high quality work for a reasonable price. They don’t finish until you are 100% satisfied.

    Architectural Stone performed a great service in hand carving a fabulous fireplace, but equally important was the stone base molding and plinths on which my stained wood casing moldings sit. Im an Interior Designer and they really did a remarkable job with the FIT & FINISH of this detail.

    We desired something in our home that was inviting, beautiful and grand! When we first met Ivet and her husband Alex at Archetectual Stone Elements, Ivet listened to our hearts vision for our new home. She designed the most lovely, extraordinarily beautiful stone fireplace surrounds for three different rooms in our home. Alex was on-site to be sure the work was done to perfection along with his wonderful team. Our home is beyond beautiful because of these amazing people! If you are dreaming of something so beautiful, comforting, gorgeous and excellently created, you must go to Arctectual Stone Elements! We just cant say enough great things, but take a look at this picture! We are enriched by the fabulous work of this company and you will be too. They kept to their schedules and every last detail is perfect. This was one of the best things we have ever done! We recommend Archectual Stone Elements in the highest regard! You will want several of these beautiful creations in your home too! ASE combines skill with beauty and the result is perfection!

    Last year as I entertained the idea of putting a fireplace into my home, I had the unique and amazing pleasure of watching all my expectations surpassed beyond measure as I transitioned what was once an ordinary built in entertainment unit into the most spectacular and beautiful fireplace of my dreams. I shopped multiple locations in the Phoenix area and spent endless hours searching the web for just the right Cantera look before finally making the over 50 mile drive to Architectural Stone Elements.Upon my arrival I was most professionally greeted by Jose Villa and as we walked and spoke he was keenly aware of just the right piece for me. After directing me to the beginning of what would soon be my finished piece, we went inside and he began to sketch for me all that I couldnt put to paper myself. We settled on what I considered to be absolutely phenomenal pricing and I nearly floated the cloud nine I was riding the entire 50 miles back home. Certain aspects of Joses design had to be quarried first but all pieces arrived in a completely reasonable amount of time and were installed with the utmost care and concern for detail and perfection.By word of mouth, I have shared Joses and Architectural Stone Elements name with everyone I know. There is not another source Id ever consider for my Cantera needs. In fact I am in the midst of my 2nd project with Jose as were designing a fountain for my front yard.Sincerely,Kristine Barber

    My husband and I moved to Phoenix from Colorado in early July 2014. We found a home quickly, loved its bones, but knew it had to have major renovations inside to bring it to our style. Early in the reno process, our realtor/friend knew that we wanted a European style fireplace to complement our French Country décor (this has actually been my dream for 20 years!!!) So, he suggested we check into Architectural Stone Elements. The same morning he gave us this lead, we went to meet with Jose Villa @ ASE. He spent the major part of his morning getting to know us, our style, our taste and showing us possibilities for our fireplace. We settled on one and sealed the deal with Jose. A few weeks later, our chosen design was ready for installation, after being expertly hand-carved in Mexico. Joses team of installers came to our house and, piece by beautiful piece, my dream fireplace took shape. It is magnificent, and is the showpiece of our new home from every vantage point, starting at the front door!!! This is the best Christmas gift ever! Jose and his wife, Rosie, are wonderful people -- we are so thankful we had the opportunity to work with them and get to know them. And, Joses whole team were absolute professionals! My husband and I couldnt be happier with our beautiful fireplace. Weve already referred Architectural Stone Elements to a neighbor/new friend, and now she is looking forward with great anticipation to her one of a kind fireplace. Thank you Jose and Rosie for our wonderful custom-built fireplace and for the delight of doing business with you! Merry Christmas 2014 and Happy New Year! Gratefully, Gwen and Fred Johnson

    Architectural Stone Elements just finished their 5th project with me and I could not be happier. They continuously have gone above and beyond for me and the finished product is simply gorgeous! From the very beginning I feel informed to make the right material choice to fit my budget and am continuously updated on lead times and progress. The staff is equally wonderful, Rosie and Jose are truly a joy to work with. I get so many compliments on their work and will continue to sing their praises!Thanks so much!

    We had Ivet and Alex replace an old fountain in our backyard. The quality of work was well done and looks beautiful. Ivet did a great job working with our budget to find something that matched the style of our house. Our new fountain is much nicer than the original . . . thanks! Highly recommend, they are just nice people.
