The Story Behind Art of Stone

Craftsmanship, restoration, and respect for natural stone

Art of Stone was founded by Olga Andreeva with a clear mission:

to build a stone restoration company rooted in honesty, technical excellence, and long-term results.

Based in Charleston, Art of Stone serves homeowners and businesses throughout the surrounding areas, specializing in the restoration, repair, and maintenance of natural stone surfaces — helping clients preserve what they already have rather than replace it unnecessarily.

The technical execution of Art of Stone is guided by Ivan Andreev, whose expertise in natural stone craftsmanship supports projects ranging from detailed countertop repairs to complex structural restoration.

At Art of Stone, craftsmanship starts with integrity.

We don’t sell what isn’t needed, and we don’t promise results we can’t deliver.

While Ivan focuses on technical execution and stone-specific expertise, Olga leads the company’s strategy, operations, and client experience, ensuring every project is handled with clarity, respect, and care.

Art of Stone is built around three core principles:

Honesty. Quality. Long-term results.

It’s not just stonework — it’s a commitment to treat every home as if it were our own.

Technical Leadership & Industry Recognition

Art of Stone’s technical direction is led by Ivan Andreev, a second-generation stone craftsman with over 15 years of hands-on experience in advanced stone restoration and structural surface repair.

He has been invited to speak at international industry exhibitions and has conducted professional workshops and live technical demonstrations, including educational sessions for the College of Charleston.

Ivan is the author of professional articles on stone craftsmanship and restoration techniques and is a member of recognized stone industry associations.

His work integrates traditional European craftsmanship with modern material science — with a focus on structural integrity, precision color reconstruction, and long-term durability.

Every complex crack stabilization, edge rebuild, and architectural restoration reflects this technical foundation.
