Question 1

How much does stone veneer cost in Westfield, NJ?

Accepted Answer

Manufactured (thin) stone veneer generally runs about $20 to $40 per square foot installed, while full-bed natural stone sits higher because of the material weight and the mason time it takes to lay it. Facades, columns, and detailed work price by the piece. We give a firm written number after seeing the wall — call (908) 233-6287.

Question 2

Natural stone or manufactured stone veneer — which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Natural stone is the real thing: unmatched depth, texture, and longevity, and it never fades. Manufactured (cultured) veneer is lighter and more affordable and looks excellent when it's installed correctly. Both are great options — we'll walk you through the trade-offs for your project and budget.

Question 3

Does stone veneer fall off or fail over time?

Accepted Answer

Only when it's installed wrong. Veneer fails when water gets trapped behind it — no moisture barrier, no flashing, no weep screed. We build the full wall assembly to code with a drainage plane so moisture escapes, which is why our stonework stays put through New Jersey freeze-thaw for decades.
