Faux Stone Veneer Visualizer (Free Tool)

According to Remodeling Magazine's annual Cost vs. Value report, adding manufactured stone veneer to the exterior of a home consistently ranks as one of the highest ROI (Return on Investment) projects you can undertake. It frequently recoups over 90% of its cost in added home value.

Stone adds texture, weight, and a premium feel to an otherwise flat facade. But deciding where to put it and what color to choose is a challenge.

Where to Add Stone Veneer

Using our exterior visualizer, you can test adding stone to various parts of your home's exterior to see what provides the biggest impact.

1. The Foundation (Wainscoting)

The most common application is a "water table" or wainscoting—adding stone to the bottom third of the house. This grounds the home, covers up ugly exposed concrete foundations, and breaks up the monotony of continuous siding.

2. Porch Columns

Wrapping skinny, dated wooden porch posts in robust stone columns (often with thick craftsman-style wood pillars on top) instantly transforms a basic entryway into a grand entrance.

3. Accent Walls or Gables

Applying stone to a specific architectural feature, like a bump-out, a front-facing gable, or around a massive chimney, draws the eye and highlights the home's structure.

Choosing the Right Stone Profile

Our visualizer lets you test different stone styles:

• Ledgestone: Stacked, linear, and heavily textured. Perfect for modern and craftsman styles.
• Fieldstone: Random, organic shapes that look naturally gathered. Ideal for rustic or traditional homes.
• Cut Cobblestone: Clean, rectangular blocks that offer a more formal, structured appearance.

Don't buy pallets of stone without knowing how it will look next to your siding.
