Biography
Principal Consultant
“My work is to help clients understand their stone and tile — and make the right decision.”
James Paley has spent more than 25 years analyzing stone and tile installations across the United States. Over that time his companies have performed more than 35,000 commercial, residential, and specialty maintenance and restoration projects, and his assessments are trusted by architects, attorneys, insurers, and property managers nationwide.
A nationally certified trainer for the Natural Stone Institute, James has taught more than 200 classes to architects, contractors, designers, installers, and suppliers, and chaired the Marble Institute of America's Diagnostics Committee for the Dimension Stone Design Manual. PALEY provides expert analysis for projects of any scale — from a single bathroom renovation to a registered historical site.

Philosophy
Stone and tile work done right is permanent. Done wrong, it's a problem that compounds with time. We exist to tell the difference.
