Unlock the Beauty and Durability of Manufactured Stone Veneer

Are you considering a home improvement project that adds a touch of elegance and charm to your property? Manufactured stone veneer is your answer! We're excited to share our insights on this versatile construction material.

Why Choose Manufactured Stone Veneer?

Also known as faux or cultured stone, manufactured stone veneer is a fantastic alternative to natural stone, offering the same aesthetic appeal without the high cost and complex installation.

1. Affordable Luxury: It provides the timeless beauty of natural stone at a fraction of the price. Expect to invest between $45 to $55 per square foot, including materials and installation.
2. Easy Installation: This lightweight option can be installed on various surfaces without the need for extensive structural support.
3. Diverse Styles: With a wide range of colors and textures, it caters to rustic, modern, or traditional preferences.
4. Durability: Engineered to withstand the elements, it's perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications, resisting chips, cracks, or fading.

Cost Factors to Consider

The cost per square foot can vary based on:

• Removal/Demo of Existing Finishes: Additional charges for removing old siding or finishes.
• Wall Repairs Prior to Installation: Preparatory structural repairs can impact the cost.
• Existing Substrate: Costs depend on the condition and preparation needs of the existing surface.
• Restricted Access: Obstacles or challenging heights requiring scaffolds or telehandlers can affect pricing.

Materials Used

Typical materials include weather-resistant paper, drainage mat, weep screed, casing bead, wire lathe, fasteners, bond agents, mortar, and the stone veneer itself. Options like corner pieces, sills, light and receptacle boxes, trim pieces, and keystones are also available.
