The
natural beauty and durability of stone masonry has been is the best compliment
to the design of a quality custom home. The Quality of the stone used is unsurpassed
and today is recognized as the standard in the building industry. The stone
is specifically formulated to withstand the harshest Illinois & Wisconsin winters. Each stone
is hand crafted to give it that unique color that most closely resembles
Mother Nature.
THE VALUE OF STONE
Available in flats and corners, Natural Veneer stone is sized and shaped for easy installation.
Its light weight is ideal for interior and exterior non-structural veneer projects and its flat-cut back is as easy to handle and install as manmade stone. But
Natural stone looks far more finished and solid because it is real stone.
The installed cost (materials and labor) for real cedar siding is approximately
$9.00 per square foot. A house façade of 500 sq. ft. will cost $4,500 and will require staining and partial replacement about every five years, adding on another $2000 over the course of ten years, for a total of $5,500. Manmade stone products will run about
$17.00 installed, for a total estimated cost of $8,500. Natural Stone will cost about
$18 per sq.ft. installed and will cover the same area for $9,000 but will require no upkeep and is a natural, beautiful product.
Compared to other non-masonry veneer options, such as wood, siding, stucco, and Dry-Vit, natural stone will not rot, need painting, rust, fade, warp, burn, tear, or discolor. While the initial investment of stone is higher than other veneer options, stone offers unparalleled beauty, a way to distinguish your home from the neighbors, and exceptional resale value. Therefore, when you take into consideration the time and money spent on replacing, repairing, and maintaining other siding materials, Natural Veneer Stone is a long-term economical solution that adds value and beauty to any property.
Stone is well suited for both interior (stone fireplace) and exterior use on both
residential and commercial jobs. There are a multitude of styles, patterns,
and colors from which to choose. This increases the design and building
plan potential of a beautiful custom home or building. Stone is a permanent, attractive, unique, and economical
solution to costly construction problems.
