Stone Siding – Compare the Cost
With stone comes exceptional durability but higher costs. Of course for the best and performance you want a high quality stone material to work with, and depending on the type of stone; the price is going to be a bit higher than alternatives like wood or vinyl. Expanses of solid, natural stone are impressive, but you can achieve much the same look with a less-costly alternative such as stone veneer panels or cultured stone. You might also choose to cut your costs a bit by using the stone as an accent on one wall or a section of a wall
A Low Maintenance Siding Product
Stone siding has lower maintenance than other siding choices available – this is because it is natural, and it easily washes off. It does not need to be treated with anything to protect it. Concerned about the often harsh weather we get here in the Twin Cities? Snow, rain, hail – nothing is going to harm it because it is a natural part of the world. That is one of the best things about having stone siding.
