Silvermine Stone Company started from a single idea to improve an existing process and create an alternative product. The inventor, Rich Mickelson, wanted to simplify the process of adding beautiful stone siding or accents to a home or business. As a trained and experienced mason, Rich knew that laying bricks one by one using mortar was a tedious and time consuming process, and it required a skill
ed mason to do it right. Stone siding and accents were becoming much more popular in the construction and home building industry, yet it was taking a long time, and a lot of money, to install it.
