GenStone Siding Advantages - Saving Time and Money
GenStone simulated products are ideal for both new construction and refinishing projects.
Siding installers, contractors and "do-it-yourselfers" all know that "time is money" when installing exteriors. Many people desire the timeless look of natural stone, rock and brick but the processes of ordering and installing these types of veneers can be extremely prohibitive within tight construction timelines and budgets. GenStone Products incorporates a time- and money-saving system in the unique, realistic-looking design of our exterior siding products, making the application of rock siding a viable option for many consumers.
Due to the increasing popularity of brick, rock and stone in exterior architecture, the demand for properly trained and experienced masons is high. According to a study conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2006, the demand for skilled stonemasons and bricklayers is increasing while the number of experienced professionals in this field is decreasing. For the consumer, this means the dwindling number of qualified masons are scheduling jobs many months out on the calendar. and their labor rates can be high.
You can have the appealing look of rock without the long, laborious process of installing natural or cast stone veneers when you choose to install GenStone siding products. Depending on the size of the project, GenStone faux rock siding can be completely installed on any sturdy, dry substrate using ordinary carpentry tools in a single day.
