New Home Stone

Excellent service, Communication and attention to detail It is a pleasure to work with such fine professionals. Even the packaging was done expertly And perfectly.

I wish I could post the pictures of my beautiful 8 by 10 foot travertine mantel. It is absolutely amazing. Jack was so easy to work with and he brought my vision of an elephant and palm tree scene to life.

We order a solid sandstone papillon bathtub from New Home Stone and they delivered an amazing product. We really love our new bathtub.

Excellent quality and excellent product/price. Would recommend them to anyone. We wanted them to hand carve a custom fireplace and they did exactly what we wanted. the attention to detail was fantastic.

The bathtub, marble slab and basins are beautiful, true works of art. We enjoyed liaising with Jack Goa and requested a lot of information back and forth via e-mail and he was very patient and provided great service!

I was a little nervous paying for my tub up front. We recivied email updates and was delighted when we in crated the tub looks fabulous and have had hundreds of comments and everyone says they have never seen anything like it.

We have worked with New Home Stone for several projects. They are extremely good to work with, reliable, and communicative. This is our first time working directly with a supplier overseas. They make it very easy!

I was after a small (length-wise) but deep soaking tub to fit in my small bathroom. I did a lot of research in Australia to find what I was looking for. I wanted a stone soaking tub. I them decided to contact Jack Gao from New Home Stone in China to see what he could do for me. He was extremely prompt in getting back to me with an estimate price and design ideas. For some time we communicated back and forth regarding measurements as I and he wanted to be certain of price and dimensions before work began. After settling on a design and price I gave Jack the go ahead to produce my marble soaking tub. As other customers, I was shown pictures along the way and up-dated on progress. When the tub arrived in Australia, I was thrilled with the care that had been taken and the beautiful finish of the stone. It is a wonderful piece of natural material and craftsmanship. I couldn’t be happier with the end product. I rated my experience as a 4 which had nothing to do with the product itself but rather, the delivery process. There were some minor costs involved in shipping which I was not aware of and also the tub weighed significantly more than I was informed which added to the cost of locating the tub in my bath room. So in summary, the tub itself is a beautiful piece of artwork at a very very reasonable price, just be sure of shipping costs and weight when you order.

I was so happy when I uncrated the bathtub! At first I was quite skeptical about ordering a bathtub online and only from pictures of the block of stone it was to be carved from. After sending me pictures of several different stones, I chose one and proceeded to send Jack a picture of a stone tub I found here in the States. Still not knowing how the tub would turn out, I was so relieved when my contractor uncovered the tub and it was more beautiful than I expected. Thanks Jack! Only one note to consider-in addition to the drain hole, consider drilling an overflow hole in your tub. I'm very happy irregardless.

Fantastic bathtub!!! Excellent communication throughout. I was sent pictures of the tub as it was being created. What a great experience. I highly recommend working with this company!! Thank you for the beautiful tub.

This Review is written by a customer who is building a lake home in Tennessee. I made a substantial order from Jack Gao of New Home Stone after sending multiple emails back and forth. In fact, I suspect we have had well over 50 emails back and forth as Jack looked for stones that were appropriate for my needs and made sure he was going to provide exactly what I wished for. My wife wanted to have a concept of "outside inside" with natural woods and stones in the house, and some how we got the idea (after seeing a photo on the internet) that we should have a large stone made into a bath tub. Then I suppose we got a little carried away. Here is what we ordered: 1) a huge stone bath tub made out of granite that looks as though it was carved out of a single large river stone (in fact, it was!), 2) 2 bath sinks carved out of similar granite stones. 3) a large pedestal and sink for our powder room. 3) 2 large sandstone sinks for a bathroom and 4) a green onyx sink for another bathroom. Most of the sinks were carved according to our specific dimensions. The total price was around $10,000 including shipping and customs fees. In terms of costs, if you search the internet extensively as I did you can get all of these items from sites other than from China, but be prepared to pay well over $20,000 (and perhaps over $30,000) for the tub alone. So as for costs, Jack is as competitive as can be. You are getting a tremendous bang for your buck. Also, he is TOTALLY HONEST. When we first started emailing back and forth I was pretty nervous - for all I knew, I was emailing and wiring money to a bogus website in Bulgaria! And I had a surprising and unexpected shipping charge that was unbeknownst to both of us prior to delivery, but because my price totals were to be all inclusive of delivery and customs fees, Jack has offered to refund me for those costs or to put the amount towards a further order. And this from an individual half a world away??!! Wow! I can't say enough about how honest the people at New Home Stone are. What exactly did I get? I wish I could send you finished photos at this time, but my items are still crated. Still, I have peeked inside, and the final results are nothing short of spectacular. I mean, imagine a bath tub carved out of solid granite where the inside is polished smooth and the outside is natural and rough. And all the measurements are to my exact specifications. The sinks are similarly beautiful. I can not recommend Jack Gao and New Home Stone any higher than 5 stars. I wish I could have punched in 10 stars! I feel so strongly about this that I intend to amend this Review after the products have been installed with pictures of the final results. I have, however, attached a photo of the tub as it was being completed. BOTTOM LINE: THESE PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY HONEST AND PROFESSIONAL. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH, AND LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD. DESIGN SOMETHING UNIQUE, ORDER IT WITH CONFIDENCE, AND ENJOY THE RESULTS. THEY ARE THE BEST!! This is an UPDATE WRITTEN February 3, 2017. Yes, it has taken 3 years to build this house. I have added some photos of completed areas. There have been a few snags along the way, but I attribute that to the fact that I believe I was Jack's first American customer and him getting more familiar with his products on the American scene. All in all, I think you would agree that the end products are stunning. As my 34 year-old son-in-law says, the tub is "STUPID." We thought it would get very cold right away, but it surprisingly holds the heat reasonably well. And when it cools, we just add a bit of hot water. If you order from Jack, remind him of two things: 1) The EXACT diameter of your drain hole. It is different in China. And, 2) to be very mindful that the drain hole is fully at the bottom of the item. One of our special rock sinks has a bit of pooling to the side. No big deal given the overall stunning effect visually of the bowl. Finally, unless you will be putting a stone tub on a slab, check with an engineer to see if your floor will hold it. I had to reinforce my floor (the tub is on the second story) with steel beams. I will try to add a photo showing the beams. Hope you enjoy the pictures, and let me give another 5 STAR shout out to Jack!
