Getting Stoned...
By Julie and Tony Panaro
We chose a few stone applications for the EverLife Design model home. For the exterior columns flanking our no-step entry on the front porch and our fireplace surround, we selected real stone veneer for finish material. We chose real stone veneer for exterior use because the colors do not tend to fade like some man-made products.
We chose DeMeo Masonry Inc. for our stonework. Here, the finishing touches are being put on our base columns.
