Spotlight On Marble Don Jacobson founded Venetian Natural Marble Company in 1964. Don worked for many years at Vermont Marble and Musto-Keenan here in San Francisco. The business of importing finished stone forced the closure of these large companies, leaving Don to create the family-owned and managed firm. Their family-run business is one of their greatest strengths. Serving both residential and commercial customers, they list many interior designers and general contractors as their clients, but work directly with homeowners on projects large and small. They specialize in custom kitchens, baths, shower installations, fireplaces, floors, tabletops and stone furniture. Today, Don's sons Charles and Richard operate the company. They continue to focus on offering the highest levels of customer service in the industry. The varieties of stone they import and keep in stock continue to expand, although they have no expansion plans for the company. They believe that personal service should include cutting, polishing, and repairs of customers' stone. They do all of the work in-house, with no cutting on the job site.
