It’s common knowledge that exterior home updates improve curb appeal and home value when selling one’s home. Every year, Remodeling Magazine publishes its list of Cost vs. Value Report, and for the last number of years, exterior home projects far outnumber interior projects as being the best in terms of return on investment.

Educating consumers about the value of adding stone veneer as part of an exterior home update has been an important part of ProVia’s homeowner outreach efforts. The company regularly reports Remodeling Magazine’s annual survey, and recently completed a series of articles and features on its website that take it one step further.
The company has developed a comprehensive array of stone veneer resources, including articles and interactive design applications that help homeowners envision and plan the addition of manufactured stone on their homes.
