STONE VENEER FAQs

  • I am not a contractor. Can I still purchase products from you?

    While our primary customer focus and product offering is catered towards landscape professionals, masons, remodeling contractors, and builders, we are open to the public and sell to retail customers who are looking to improve and remodel the interior or exterior of their home or outdoor living.  Because most of the products we sell are labor intensive and require construction knowledge and tools, we highly encourage and recommend the hiring of a professional contractor to install your project.  We are happy to recommend one of our partner professionals to you if you need help finding a contractor. 

  • Do I need to make an appointment to visit your showroom?

    Showroom appointments are reserved for customers who are working with a professional contractor or builder.   


    If you are a DIY'er, our showroom and display gardens are open to the public. You are welcome to check out samples of stone veneer and purchase your stone selection with us. Please view the Showroom Process section for more information on visiting our showroom, along with downloading our Pre-Arrival Checklist. 

  • Do you offer installation or do you provide installation instructions?

    Due to insurance liability, we do not offer installation services or provide installation instructions.  Depending on the product you purchase, some manufacturers will have installation guidelines and/or instructions that will come with the product or on their website.  It is your responsibility to know or seek out/research the proper installation methods and procedures for your project and your individual home/landscape.


    We always recommend and highly encourage that you hire a professional contractor to install your project(s) and we are more than happy to offer assistance with helping you find a professional contractor or qualified mason to design, install, or repair your project.  Any contractor we recommend has been vetted by us and one we consider a reliable business partnership.  So you can feel safe knowing that your project is in the hands of a true professional company!


  • What advice or best practices do I need to know before ordering my products?

    To help make your project more successful and less stressful, please visit our Stone Veneer Ordering Best Practices. 

  • What is color variation?

    Products such as pavers, wall block, stone veneer, brick, tile, and any natural stone product can all have a variation in color compared to our physical samples and images on our website.  These color variations can be attributed to that not all products come from the same manufacturer plant or the same product run as where the physical sample came from.  Color variation should be expected especially with natural landscape stone and natural stone veneer.  These are products of nature and their color will vary depending on the quarry the stone was extracted from, when it was quarried, or it’s native geographical region.

DRYSTACK JOINT

Accomplished by "dry" fitting stone together, each piece can be laid with virtually no joint.  The finished look is a tightly stacked stone appearance.

OVERGROUT JOINT

Creating an old-world, rustic, and aged look, the grout overlaps the face of the stone, widening joints and making them appear very irregular.

STANDARD JOINT

Achieved by laying stone roughly one finger width apart, grout is installed between each stone and fulfills a more consistent depth, resulting in a smoother, overall look.

To help you make your project more successful and less stressful, here are some great tips and ordering best practices to know prior to placing your order!

STONE VENEER ORDERING BEST PRACTICES

OVERAGE

It’s standard practice to order 10% overage on most products. Reasons for ordering product overage can include unintentional miscalculations with your square/linear footage, last minute changes to project scope and design, or unforeseen obstacles or complications that may arise when you begin installation. Because manufacturer lead times may vary throughout the year, the product you purchased may not be immediately available, and to avoid any delays to your project, it is best to order more than what you need.

PRODUCT BREAKAGE

Two percent (2%) product breakage is deemed acceptable by most manufacturers. Due to reasons beyond our control or the control of our suppliers, product breakage can sometimes occur during packaging, handling, and shipping of the products. Because of this, most suppliers will not replace any broken products unless it exceeds 2% of the ordered quantity. Example: If you purchase 8 boxes of stone veneer, the supplier will not replace any broken pieces if it is less than 2% of your total order. This is another reason why we always recommend ordering 10% overage.

RESTOCKING FEE

There is a 20% restocking fee on all returned material. It is your responsibility to confirm that the products/material you are ordering is correct, including product type, color, and quantity.  Stone veneer that is deemed as "special order" (meaning not in stock) is not eligible to be restocked or returned.

YOU HAVE THE FINAL DECISION

You’re about to make an investment in your home. And while our project curators can help you with design and product recommendations, the decision on the look of your project and your final product selection is yours. Throughout our website, you will find a multitude of inspirational pictures of completed projects to aide in giving you a better idea of what a product could look like in your home or landscape.
