Need a Piece of Bluestone ASAP!
I need a piece of bluestone cut to particular dimensions ASAP. it would used for an exterior door threshold. I need a piece 52″ long x 12″ wide x 1″ thick. the most critical dimension is 52″ long; the other dimensions i could live with something slightly off. I’ve been searching for a while, but…

I’ve been searching for a while, but the only people that seem to have anything are in new rochelle, and would take a week to fill this order. i’d like to buy from a brooklyn business (not having a car makes out of town business pretty inconvenient), or to buy a piece leftover from another job. something i could have cut to size would work, too.
any help appreciated.
thanks for all the suggestions. i ended up getting the stone from Sammarco Stone (http://www.sammarcostone.com/) in New Rochelle. great service. too bad they’re so far from brooklyn.
now i’m looking for more bluestone to complete a small area of floor (30 sq ft). i’d need pieces 1″ thick or less. small, irregular or broken stone is okay. will pick up. email me at: tc AT 3c DOT com.
thanks!
Try Buscarello. I understand they have a pretty sizable stockpile of bluestone. They get bad reviews from customers of their sidewalk and facade work but presumably buying a piece of stone from them would be a more straightforward transaction.
This might be an odd phone call to make, but I know Nick from Transcend Masonry would probably have leftovers from other jobs. They advertise to the right.
I have a nursery/stoneyard in south NJ I like, but that won’t help you. I have never been to either of these places, but they’ve both been recommended on the Forum. First link is in Brooklyn; second in Fairfield, NJ:

Thanks, vinca. I’ve tried him already, but I can’t get him to return my calls. Anyone else you’d recommend?
