The Story Behind Art of Stone
Craftsmanship, restoration, and respect for natural stone
Art of Stone was founded by Olga Andreeva.
The company is rooted in honesty, technical excellence, and long-term results.
Based in Charleston, Art of Stone specializes in the restoration, repair, and maintenance of natural stone surfaces, helping homeowners and businesses preserve what they already have.
Technical execution and project leadership are guided by Ivan Andreev, a second-generation stone craftsman with over 15 years of hands-on experience in advanced stone restoration and structural repairs.
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, the company’s day-to-day operations and client projects are handled by our professional team. 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 master classes and educational sessions for students at the American College of the Building Arts (ACBA) — the only nationally accredited college in the United States dedicated to training craftsmen in traditional and contemporary building arts — as well as at 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 strong technical foundation.
Why Art of Stone Is Different
Structural-first approach
We evaluate underlying integrity before cosmetic repair.
Material-matching expertise
Precise color reconstruction and surface integration.
Long-term durability focus
Repairs designed to last — not just look repaired.
Our Mission
To change the way people think about stone restoration.
We help homeowners, designers, and businesses restore and protect marble, quartz, quartzite, granite, and tile — extending the life of their surfaces and preserving their value.
Because quality stone deserves proper care, not quick fixes.
All work is performed under the technical guidance of Ivan Andreev, a second-generation stone craftsman with over 15 years of experience.
