At Rocky Mountain Stone, there are a number of people who work “behind the scenes” to make our operation run smoothly and provide the high level of service that we’re known for in our industry.
This month’s Rock Star is Nicoli Lucero, who oversees our inventory in the yard. He is responsible for unloading every material shipment that arrives, managing the location of all of our materials, photographing materials for our layout program and getting materials into the shop at the right time for production. Gabe Armijo nominated Nicoli and had this to say – “Nicoli has shown a great example of “Teamwork” by stepping up in the inventory department, he tackles any task asked of him without any issues. He has become a great addition to the RMS Team”.
We are fortunate to have Nicoli on our team and look forward to having him grow in his career with RMS. Congratulations Nicoli!
Behind the Scenes at Rocky Mountain Stone: How Your Countertops Come to Life
When you walk into your kitchen and admire your quartz countertops or your guests ooh and ah over your updated granite sink, do you think about the journey that brought that natural stone to your home? At Rocky Mountain Stone, every beautiful kitchen or bathroom vanity starts with a thoughtful behind-the-scenes process.
Unloading and Organizing Materials
Nicoli’s work shows the importance of handling the logistics of every natural stone slab that enters our workshop. Each shipment of marble, granite, quartz, porcelain and other materials is carefully unloaded and inspected.
This step might sound simple, but managing the location of every piece of stone is a challenging task. Imagine tracking hundreds of slabs in varying granite countertop colors and quartz countertop colors, making sure that the right piece is available for production at the exact right moment.
Photography for Digital Design
Before production begins, our materials are photographed and added to our digital portfolio. This technology allows our CAD designer to create custom layouts, which are really handy for helping you see how your selected stone will look in your home before we even start a single cut! This supports you in getting the exact stone that will match your interior design goals.
Precision Production
Once your perfect slab is chosen, it moves into our shop floor for cutting, shaping, and finishing. Using advanced tools and techniques, our skilled craftsmen make sure that the material is carefully fabricated, whether it’s for a luxury modern kitchen design, a durable kitchen countertop, or even stone veneer siding. Even with something that sounds as straightforward as cutting, attention to detail is very important here, so that your natural stone keeps the patterns and finish that attracted you in the first place.

From the moment the stone arrives to the installation, our team works hard to make sure you’re happy with your final result! When you search for “granite countertops near me” or “quartz countertops near me,” we want you to feel confident that choosing Rocky Mountain Stone means choosing quality.
