Founded by John (Jack) Wiley, Stone Center is a 3rd generation company that began supplying and installing building stone and flagstone in the early 1950s.

The Stone Center Family

Tim Wiley: CEO, Certified Stone Inspector and Consultant

Tim is the third generation in this family business. He started working in the stone industry over 33 years ago, back when his father owned the company. He started out in the shop polishing tile edges. He worked his way up the ranks, and when his dad closed shop a few years later, took over the business and everything involved, from sales to cutting, polishing, and installation. At the time, Stone Center was one of only three stone fabrication shops in Portland. The industry has grown significantly since then and Stone Center, Inc. along with it. Tim really has done it all. He is an expert in the field, and is upfront and honest about his work. With his many years of experience dealing with all types of materials and situations, he is the one we go to for solutions and new ideas. He lives by one of his mottos: “never be afraid to try something that you have not done,” and is always up for the challenge of turning your dream into a reality.

Tim is also a Certified Stone Inspector and Consultant. He is available for inspecting tile and stone installations that have issues. Additionally, he is available for design consultation before a project begins.

Elroy McNealy: Head Sawyer

If you’re looking for a remnant, Elroy can tell you if we have that stone in stock, and what it’s best suited for. Once we’ve come and measured for the job, Elroy will call you in for a viewing so you can see exactly how your project will lay out on the stone. He’ll work with you to make sure the joints are in just the right spot. He’s a master with the saw and his attention to detail ensures that the layout and cut job are the first steps to a beautiful design. Proper cutting ensures things like book matched seams, an important detail that gives your project that extra wow factor.
