Manufactured Stone Veneer

[rodeair]

My project will require about 120-150 square feet of stone veneer. I have been researching all about the different kinds, etc. Living in Florida makes it impossible to use real stone. For those that want to use the manufactured stone, I figured out a cheaper way. The box stores and other brickyards, etc., charge anywhere from 10-15 bucks a square foot for the product. I was able to find a manufacturer less than 200 miles from me that charges 5.50 a sqft for the same thing. By ordering and picking up from the manufacturer, I will save on the order of 30-40%, even after my fuel costs. Shipping these products doubles the price. Google the nearest manufacturer from you. Just a suggestion for those looking for a cheaper way.
