ABOUT US
Our founder began his career at just 16 years old in the summer of 1992 at Maccarthy Tile Company (CA C54 license #553704), a third-generation family business that became both his training ground and second home. What began as a summer job quickly became a lifelong calling rooted in integrity, precision, and pride.
As a fourth-generation tile setter, he carries forward a legacy of master craftsmen who believed excellence is achieved one tile at a time. In 2001, he became a partner at Maccarthy Tile (CA C54 license #791370), and in 2006, he founded Shoreline Stone & Ceramics (CA C54 license #873846), building upon generations of expertise while elevating the craft through innovation and refined execution.
From luxury homes and yachts to religious temples, boutique commercial spaces, and custom projects as far as Bora Bora, his work reflects decades of heritage, discipline, and deep pride in continuing the family legacy.
At Shoreline Stone & Ceramics, tile setting isn’t just a trade, it’s a generational tradition carried with honor.
Jeff’s tile industry journey began in 1992 at age 16, setting the stage for a lifetime of expertise and artistry.

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
