Related service:
This gallery shows a home finished almost entirely in dressed stone, including corner quoins, window surrounds and gable walls. It is a good example of how stone cladding can define an entire building rather than a single accent wall.
A whole-house stone exterior requires careful coordination with framing, window installation, flashing and roofing so water is managed behind the stone.
Key details:
Window flashing and roof edges are detailed before stone goes up.
Courses are set level around the building so heights line up at corners and openings.
Quoins, sills and surrounds are fitted as the walls rise rather than added afterward.
Photos are shown to illustrate this type of stonework. They are not presented as work performed by East West Stone, and the project location is not disclosed.
