Stone Veneer Computer Visualization After

The finished result of your home in stone is always stunning! This homeowner chose cobble stone in the color of chateau. The computer visualization helped these customers decide where to place the stone on their home.

If you would like a free computer visualization, please email a picture of your home, taken at the same type of angle as this picture and send it to homephoto@northstarstone.biz. Please include your name, phone number and full address.

Stone Veneer Computer Visualization

The following image shows an example of what the house would look like if stone was used on the entire front of the home. The customer looked at using stone just on the two peaks of the house and decided their preferred look was the full front of the house in a lighter cobble stone color.

Remember the computer does a great job in giving you a representation of what the house will look like. Occassionally a customer gets a bit frustrated because our stones don't exactly match the computer's selection of stone.

Please email a picture of your home, with the picture taken head on without an angle. Send the photo and your name, phone number and address to homephoto@northstarstone.biz.

Stone Veneer Computer Visualization Before Picture

Are you wondering how stone veneer would look on your house? Should the exterior stone color be a darker tone or maybe a cobble stone shape? At North Star Stone, Inc. we try to assist you with our computer visualization program.

In a series of three pictures you will see the before, computer image and the after. The program doesn't offer all of our styles or colors of stone, or allow us to add detail, like trim stones, but for most of our customers this tool is very helpful.

For more information call us at 847-996-6850.

Or email us a picture of your home. Take the picture standing straight in front of the home like the picture in the blog. Email the picture to homephoto@northstarstone.biz. Include your name, telephone number and your full address. There is no cost to you.
