Jim May - Owner
A Legacy Built In Stone
Jim's journey in the stone industry began at the young age of 14 years old, working alongside his father at one of the few stone companies in Utah at the time. His father dedicated over four decades to the company, primarily in the concrete division, and it was there that Jim got his start—shoveling stone sludge out of ditches. It was humble, gritty work, but it laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong career defined by craftsmanship, commitment, and passion.
Over the last 40 years, Jim immersed himself in every facet of the stone industry. From quarrying and fabrication to installation and international procurement, his hands-on experience is both vast and deeply rooted. He quickly progressed from labor-intensive roles to overseeing complex, large-scale projects and managing teams, always maintaining the same work ethic he learned as a teenager.
Jim has contributed to some of the most iconic architectural and commercial stone projects in downtown Salt Lake City and throughout the state of Utah. His portfolio includes government buildings, commercial landmarks, luxury residential properties, religious structures, public spaces, and restoration projects—each one reflecting his unwavering attention to detail and quality. Jim’s expertise hasn’t been confined to Utah. He has also worked on high-end residential estates for well-known clients in exclusive locations like Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Sun Valley, Idaho. His reputation for excellence has taken him all around the world. These projects have required not just technical expertise, but a refined aesthetic and deep understanding of premium stone materials.
Jim brings a unique eye for material selection and a deep understanding of stone’s natural beauty and structural potential. Throughout the years, he has kept up with design trends and expanded his knowledge with porcelain, quartz and other unique products.
Clients, architects, and builders rely on Jim not only for his technical knowledge but for his ability to bring their vision to life through stone. His rare combination of field experience, material expertise, and project leadership has made him a trusted name in the industry.
What began as a summer job has evolved into a legacy built through decades of dedication, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for stone.
In his limited downtime, Jim enjoys family, off road vehicles, motorcycles, boating, firearms and is an avid Minnesota Vikings fan, a tradition inherited from his father.
