The Importance of Proper Stone Veneer Installation
Manufactured Stone Veneer (MSV) has the highest cost-to-value ROI of any siding type, boasting 97% on new construction home value and upward of 153% on renovation ROI. In order for builders and contractors to earn the maximum, proper installation is vital.
Improper installation can lead to costly damages, warranty claims, or negative reviews— expenses that can far outweigh the cost of proper installation. Choosing a qualified mason can help ensure a quality result & reduce the risk of expensive repairs.
What Can Happen After a Bad Stone Veneer Installation?
Improper installation of manufactured stone veneer (MSV) can result in structural issues, moisture damage, and aesthetic problems that compromise durability and safety. Here are some common consequences of a poorly executed installation.
Moisture Damage: Without proper weather-resistant barriers, flashing, or drainage systems, water can infiltrate behind the veneer, leading to mold, rot, leaks, water buildup and other damage.
Structural Damage: Inadequate adhesion, support or improper mortar application can cause stones to crack, sag, or detach.
Bonding Issues: Applying veneer to unclean, unsuitable, or non-structural surfaces can weaken the bond between MSV & the surface result in adhesion failure.
Aesthetic Issues: Uneven appearance or discoloration can occur when the wrong mortar is used or was not sealed.
Jobsite Hazards: Improperly installed stone veneer can create jobsite safety risks due to stones potentially falling or dripping mortar.
Builders can avoid these costly and potentially hazardous outcomes by choosing StoneWorks expert installation. We guarantee our work for a full year after completion, (which is the period when most issues happen) and warranty our MSV for 50 years.
