Carolina Custom Surfaces has roots that date back more than 25 years, when the company’s product line was simply comprised of cultured marble vanities, bathtubs, and shower surrounds.  At that time the company was part of a franchise with a manufacturing operation in Randleman, NC, and several retail cultured marble stores located throughout the Triad.  In 1995, Rudy and Phyllis Hoch purchased the manufacturing assets of the Randleman operation and changed the name of the company to Carolina Custom Surfaces.  The company continued to operate out of Randleman for 2 more years, with a customer base spanning from Southern Pines to the Triad.

Over the next 8 years the company continued its emphasis on quality products and services and earned certification to fabricate several nationally-branded solid surface products, including Corian, Hi-Macs, Avonite and Gibralter to name a few.  During this same period, stone products began to emerge as a popular option for kitchen and bath surfaces.  Again, to meet the customer’s needs, Carolina Custom Surfaces began to purchase and install pre-fabricated granite, marble and engineered stone kitchens countertops and bathroom vanities.

In 2004, Rudy and Phyllis decided that they would like to begin the next phase of their lives.  However, it was vital to both that the business continue with the same principles and beliefs that they had founded and grown the company on.  To this end, they recruited and hired their nephew, Joe Duszka, to run the business with the intent to purchase the company.  Joe began running day-to-day operations in 2005 and in December he and his wife, Deborah, purchased the company .  It also became apparent in 2005 that Carolina Custom Surfaces could not offer the quality and lead time that its customers expected by purchasing prefabricated stone products.  Therefore, the decision to start and operate a stone fabrication shop was made.  With no space for the stone shop in the current facility, and solid surface having outgrown the existing space, it was evident that a new facility was needed.  In June of 2006, Carolina Custom Surfaces purchased a 40,000 sq. ft. facility in Greensboro to house the entire company.  September 2006 marked the grand opening of the new stone fabrication facility, providing CCS with the product and process control needed to exceed the expectations of its customers.  Solid surface fabrication joined the stone shop at the new building in November, and cultured marble, the showroom, and the administrative office will complete the move by the end of 2007.
