Stone Veneer Cost Calculator
Estimate the total cost for a stone veneer installation.
Stone Veneer Cost Calculator | Estimate Natural & Cultured Stone Prices
The stone veneer cost calculator helps you budget for both interior accent walls and exterior home facades. By inputting your total square footage and local material rates, you can quickly estimate the investment required for high-end stone aesthetics using natural thin veneer or manufactured cultured stone products.
Beyond the stone itself, a professional installation requires mortar, lath, a scratch coat, and often corner pieces which are sold by the linear foot. This tool provides a clear breakdown of material costs, helping you compare different stone types and installation methods. For quantity estimations, use our dedicated stone veneer calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I estimate the cost of stone veneer?
Calculate the total square footage of your project area, including corners. Then, multiply this by the cost per square foot of your chosen veneer. Our calculator allows you to input costs for flat pieces and corners separately.
What other materials do I need besides stone veneer?
You'll need mortar mix, lath, a scratch coat, and potentially a bonding agent. Don't forget polymeric sand for joints if applicable, and always add a 10-15% waste factor for the veneer itself.
Is manufactured stone veneer cheaper than natural stone?
Generally, yes. Manufactured stone veneer is typically more affordable than natural thin stone veneer, both in material cost and installation labor, due to its lighter weight and easier handling.
How much does installation of stone veneer cost?
Installation costs vary widely by region and project complexity. Expect to pay anywhere from $20-$50+ per square foot for labor, depending on the type of veneer and the installer's experience.
Does this calculator include labor costs?
No, this tool is for estimating material costs only. Labor costs are highly variable and should be obtained through quotes from local contractors.
How do I account for corners in my cost estimate?
Corner pieces are sold separately and are typically more expensive than flat pieces. Our calculator allows you to input a different cost per linear foot for corner pieces, ensuring an accurate estimate.
