Paul Maclin, Owner, Leader in Monterey Bay Location

Paul leads a team of craftsmen who ensure quality service for every job, from elegant homes to commercial buildings.

Michael Temple and Timothy Kingaby founded Techstone in 1985 after recognizing a great need for protecting and restoring natural stone, tile and concrete on the Monterey peninsula. Paul Maclin since purchased Techstone, and continues to provide excellent stone and tile care and maintenance services.

Paul is always ready to offer advice on maintaining a variety of stones and has the knowledge and experience to understand the underlying aesthetic and practical considerations uniquely inherent to each stone type. He says, “There is never a cookie-cutter approach to projects at Techstone.” Paul’s knowledge of both the stone and the context in which stone is used yields a superior result when it comes to restoration, care, and maintenance services.

For example, Paul notes that repair and restoration methods for high-traffic areas, high-humidity areas, and sanitary food preparation areas differ, and with Techstone, each receives the appropriate treatment. Working with porous limestone is not at all like working with dense granite. Likewise, black marble and green marble are very different from other marbles. Under Paul’s direction, Techstone provides the restoration methods best suited to the material and the context, including limestone entries, marble showers, granite counters, terra cotta floors, terrazzo, concrete, slate and fieldstone, and brick. Although most architectural stone is virtually indestructible, the appearance of all stone deteriorates alarmingly from soil, wear, improper cleaning, harsh weather, pollution, and numerous other hazards.

Paul strives to lead his team to utilize the most efficient and effective approach to restoration, increasing the lifespan and revealing the natural beauty of your stone and tile.
