StepStone

What StepStone does

Stepstone, LLC is a privately held architectural precast concrete manufacturer founded in 1963 and headquartered in Elberton, United States. The company produces step treads, pavers, wall caps, pool coping, roof pavers, garden steps, and custom precast concrete products sold under brands including CalArc®, Sonorastone®, Maderastone®, Dekstone®, Drydeck®, and Rooftrac®. Its core manufacturing technology is a handcrafted wetcast process designed to deliver consistent color, clean lines, and refined surface finishes across both standard catalog profiles and custom specifications.

Stepstone sells directly to architects, designers, developers, contractors, and homeowners, and indirectly through a dealer/distributor network, with national distribution across the United States. The go-to-market combines a consultative field sales approach — engaging architects and developers early in project design — with digital channels including a website with product catalog, downloadable brochures, Revit files, three-part specs, a Plan & Design Tool/visualizer, and active social media presence on Facebook, X, Pinterest, Instagram, Houzz, and LinkedIn. The company also runs a continuing education program through AEC Daily and a customer photo-submission community program.

The business model is straightforward: one-time-project sales of physical precast concrete products, with pricing provided on a quote basis (no public pricing). Customer segments span enterprise (architects, developers, contractors, dealers) and SMB/residential (homeowners). Revenue is concentrated in a single revenue stream — physical product sales — with no SaaS, subscription, licensing, or services components indicated in the source material. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates with a stated headcount of 1-10.
