ABOUT US

Our founder began his career at just 16 years old in the summer of 1992, working for Maccarthy Tile Company (CA C54 license #553704)— a third-generation, family-owned business that became both a training ground and a second home. What started as a summer job quickly transformed into a calling, instilling the values of integrity, precision, and pride that still guide our work today.

By 2001, he was invited to become a partner at Maccarthy Tile (CA C54 license #791370) before launching his own company in 2006, Shoreline Stone & Ceramics (CA C54 license #873846). Over the decades, he has worked on a wide array of residential and commercial projects — from religious temples, luxury yachts, and high-end homes to intricate pools, spas, boutique commercial spaces, and two unforgettable bungalows in Bora Bora, French Polynesia.

To the Maccarthy Family:

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me, welcoming me into your family, and teaching me a trade that became my lifelong passion. My life would be entirely different had I not been so fortunate to land that summer job with you.

I am eternally grateful for the skills, values, and opportunities you shared with me. Because of your guidance, I’ve been able to grow Shoreline Stone and Ceramics into what it is today — a living testament to everything you taught me. I owe so much of my success and craftsmanship to you, and I will always carry your influence with deep appreciation and respect.

With Love and gratitude,

Jeff Swanson
