About Us
   Welcome to theSoapstoneWorks. We are a small business in Lee, NH specializing in soapstone and hardwood countertops. This specialty is the result of choosing favored materials after many years of creating custom kitchens. This site has been designed to show you samples of work we have done with soapstone and wood countertops.

   Paul Bowles has been designing and building homes and kitchens, primarily with native materials, in the Seacoast area for over 25 years. He has worked with many of the varied countertop materials at one time or another. Laminates, tile, solid surfaces, wood and granite are a just a few of them. Yet, his true favorite is soapstone. It may be because he has a treasured piece from his grandparents' house in Vermont or maybe because it just feels so good to the touch, almost like worn leather. His passion for the properties, feel and functions of soapstone has led to this specialty with great pride.

Our Shop
   Every project receives our full personal attention due to our bias for craftsmanship. The bulk of the stone cutting is done in our shop vs. on site, to guarantee the most control. Our customers can be assured their project is not 'farmed out' in any fashion.

   We travel to just about anywhere in the seacoast areas of Northern Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Southern Maine. Our main focus of work revolves around a fifty mile radius of Lee, NH.
