Veneer Stone
What is veneer stone? How long does stone veneer siding last? Is veneer stone for the exterior and interior, too? These are the things you usually ask—and here are the answers.
What Is Veneer Stone?
Manufactured or faux stone is made of Portland cement and lightweight natural aggregates. For the coloration, an iron oxide pigment is usually added. The purpose of stone veneer is to create the appearance of real stone siding on your home walls while providing better flexibility and easier upkeep.
What Is Stacked Stone?
Stacked stone is made of individual pieces of stone stacked on top of each other. This is why it is typically thicker than veneer stone. Due to its weight, it may require anchoring or other special support. It is a perfect choice if you wish to create as natural a look as possible.
What Needs to Be Done Before Veneer Stone Installation?
At ProStone, we apply veneer stone to structural surfaces and install it directly to clean brick. First, we adjust the surface so that it is prepared for the veneer stone installation—we clean it, align it, and ensure it is free of debris. Please note that these steps are all done by us, so you do not have to do any specific preparation of your interior or exterior walls.
If you would like to talk to us about a project, we would love to hear from you.
Top Three Reasons to Go for Veneer Stone
Based on our experience, these are the most common reasons to choose stone veneer over natural stone for your home’s walls.
Weight of the Material
Faux stone is lighter, which, in terms of handling and installation, makes it easier to work with. The lightweight veneer stone offers us a wider range of installation options without the need for the fortification of your house structure.
Cost-Effectivity
In some cases, the initial payment for a veneer stone can be higher than for a real one. But from a long-term perspective, veneer stone is more cost-efficient than natural stone—considering the durability of veneer stone. The easier handling of veneer stone also results in lower labor costs.
Sustainability and Durability
To achieve the desired look of stone walls of your home, veneer stone is a perfect fit from an ecological point of view. Most of the projects we did require much less material than if they were done using a natural stone. Veneer stone siding is also famous for its durability—it is highly resistant to weathering and abrasion.

ProStone did some great work on my house recently. My wife and I are preparing to sell and had some tricky issues for them to handle, including redoing a roofdeck floor. I can say, they did a magnificent job for a very fair price. They're also very friendly and responsive. They're professional and cleaned up after they finished work. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Prostone did a great job with our stucco remediation. Rad and his crew were polite and professional. At the end, Rad took his time to go over everything and asked me to contact him if he missed anything. He also sent pictures of the work that was completed. I was very satisfied with his work and would highly recommend using Prostone for exterior work.

We got a stucco remediation on the A-frame of our house. I called many other stucco contractors and didn’t get call backs or they came to see the project and never responded. Radovan from ProStone responded the same day and had the project started right away. He and his team were timely, communicative and professional. They did an amazing job and made sure we were 100% satisfied with the project. We would recommend using them!! Great company and great people.

Make sure you work with Radovan Cizmar. He did an excellent job resurfacing my chimney! He kept me up to date with texts and photos throughout the job and even did the work in Nov. when other places I called said it was too cold to do it.

We had few other companies coming to give us estimate for fixing our problem, they told us it’s going to take a week to fix it and the price was ridiculous. We decided to call Prostone construction and that was the best decision we made to have them come and help us with our issue .
Rad and Peter did outstanding job. Very professional, on time, explained everything he was going to do, did beautiful work with very reasonable price and did it in 3 days . Very Highly recommending his company to all . Thank you so much Rad and Peter dziękujemy bardzo !!

Radovan and his company were outstanding from start (quote) to finish (end of project)- started on time and worked 12 hours a day to get project completed. But most importantly was the professional work that they performed. Highly skilled and dedicated to making the customer happy. The finished product was a work of art. I would highly recommend this company to any and all. Bravo Radovan you truly are the best in your business!!!!!!
