If you’re looking to lift the curb appeal of your home, the solution may be written in stone. Homeowners are increasingly turning to manufactured stone veneer, a lower-cost alternative to natural stone siding, to spruce up the exterior of their homes. In Remodeling magazine’s 2016 Cost vs. Value Report, manufactured stone veneer ranked as the No. 1 bang-for-your-buck exterior remodeling project, with an average nationwide return on investment of 92.9 percent. In some places, the average ROI for manufactured stone veneer projects was even greater. In the Dallas area, for instance, it was 108.6 percent, while it was 163.4 percent down the road in Austin.
