With so many different types of stone available, it pays to work with an expert like Sandya Dandamudi, president of Taylor Johnson client GI Stone, when selecting counter surfaces. A veritable ‘rock’ star with an encyclopedic knowledge of stone accumulated over 30 years of supplying, fabricating and installing stone for commercial real estate and, more recently, luxury residential projects, Dandamudi was top of mind when Livingetc needed a source for a story on soapstone countertops. Naturally, the reporter included Dandamudi’s multi-faceted perspective in the story, where she weighed in on the pros and cons of using the softer stone for countertops.
