Aftermarket Stone on front of house

[catotv]

Good afternoon All,
I was wondering if any of you have put aftermarket stone on the front of your house, and if so, who did you use? I am looking for a smaller company than T&D, and know the stone I want, but am having trouble finding a contractor to do it. Looking for a smaller company that could use the business, is honest, good work and reasonable. Thanks for any recommendations!

Once you get the replies on the contractors, be sure you get ARC approval for your project, it would be required for this type of work.

This has been asked before and I remember responding, you'll find a couple of posts informative.

Thank you so much! Appreciate it!

Based on the homes I have seen with stone fronts, I generally like the look.

One thing that has always disappointed me about The Villages has always been the seemingly cookie cutter home designs and color rages. I like variety, and would absolutely consider a stone-like front upgrade - but the Boss says NO.

I don't know what you are looking at but I did air stone (airstone.com) on the front of the house. Easy to do and easy ARC approval.

I looked at the Air Stone at your link, it looks good. Really looks more like an indoor type product for fireplaces and kitchens. The stone I think the OP is wondering about is this home in St. James that's on the link I posted. That owner moved but I remembered the post, and I think he had this done for about $3,000 by All Masonry in Apopka.
