House with Stone Veneer Accents

If you fit into the category of homeowners looking to give their home a facelift, stone veneer is one of the most impactful choices you can make. It adds texture, elegance, and a sense of permanence that few other materials can match.

Why Choose Stone Veneer?

Stone veneer offers the look of natural stone without the heavy weight and high cost. Here are a few reasons why it's a favorite among Pennsylvania homeowners:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: It instantly upgrades the look of your home, making it stand out in the neighborhood.
  • Return on Investment: According to the Cost vs. Value report, manufactured stone veneer replacement consistently provides one of the highest returns on investment for exterior projects.
  • Versatility: It can be applied to the entire facade, or used as an accent on columns, skirtings, or entryways.
  • Durability: Modern stone veneer is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, from freezing winters to hot summers.

Design Ideas

Not sure where to start? Consider these popular applications:

  • Foundation Skirting: Cover exposed concrete foundations with stone for a finished look.
  • Entryway Accents: Frame your front door with stone to create a welcoming focal point.
  • Chimney Facing: Resurface an old brick chimney for a modern update.

Installation Matters

Like stucco, stone veneer requires proper installation to prevent water intrusion. At DAB General Contractor, we ensure moisture management systems are in place behind the stone to protect your home's structure.
