Stone

NO STRESS WITH THE BEST: Five Star Roofing knows it can be overwhelming to choose a roofing material, paint, trim, siding, doors, windows, stone, etc. We have volumes of catalogues we can share with you, and our design experts can showcase different mixes of elements to bring your home to life. 

Here are five things you should ask when considering stone exterior or veneer for your home: 

• Types of Stone: You might think that you can tell a real stone from a manufactured one, but wait until you see how similar they look.

• Real stones and bricks are heavy and expensive to install and transport. They also come with code and permit requirements from the government. Our team takes care of all the paperwork and permits, allowing us to start work faster. 

• The veneer of facade stones is more cost-efficient and easier to install with faster completion. There is also less weight on the home with a veneer.

• Stone Veneer Supplies: Five Star Roofing can work with full sheets of stone veneer, which replaces siding, or can use the veneer in smaller patches to accent porches, columns, garages, or whatever else the creative team and you come up with during ideation. 

• Real Stone Strategy: When working with real stone, you control more of the patterns and grout lines, making it more of a palette than a pre-fabricated sheet. Ask how long this process takes and what limitations there might be on codes in your neighborhood. 

• Types of Stones: No matter if you go with real stones or veneers, you need to know your options for stones. Rectangular? Round? Irregular Shapes? How much texture? Grout line thickness? There’s a lot to consider when choosing the right stone.

• Blending In: Your Five Star home design expert will help you bring the full picture together. You might fall in love with a stone design that doesn’t match the other elements of your home. You could choose a color pattern that doesn’t match the roof color. We take every quality control measure to bring the full picture together before we start work.
