The material layer, priced apart
| Frame | Line, as published | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | stone veneer siding installed, per square foot, by material | $10-$45 |
| Frame A | cultured or manufactured stone, installed | $10-$35 |
| Frame B | mortarless veneer, per square foot | $6-$10 |
| Frame B | installation labor, per square foot | $2-$4 |
Every figure here is a published line inside its own frame, never averaged into one band. Material is the first attribute Frame A names; Frame B splits its reading into a materials-alone line and a labor line. The project whole prices on the stone veneer hub; the application layer on the application guide.
The installed material layer, as reported
| Material line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Cultured or manufactured stone, installed | Frame A | $10-$35 per square foot |
| Faux-stone panels, installed | Frame A | $10-$25 per square foot |
| Natural thin stone, installed | Frame A | $15-$45 per square foot |
| Full-bed stone, installed | Frame A | $20-$50+ per square foot |
Frame A's by-material table is an installed table: each material prints with its total installed band, and the four bands sit inside the headline $10 to $45 reading. The panel line prints the narrowest band of the four; the full-bed line prints the only open-ended top.
The materials-alone layer, as reported
| Materials-alone line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Manufactured stone, materials alone | Frame B | $5-$8 per square foot |
| Faux stone, materials alone | Frame B | $6-$9 per square foot |
| Natural thin or full-bed materials-alone line | Frame B | no line printed |
Frame B prints a materials-alone reading for two materials only: manufactured and faux. No natural thin or full-bed materials-alone line prints in Frame B, and no materials-alone line prints in Frame A at all -- Frame A's material reading is installed only. A materials-alone quote and an installed quote are two readings, never one price.
The mortarless and labor layer, as reported
| Line, as published | Reading | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Mortarless veneer, in Angi per-project data | per square foot | $6-$10 |
| Installation labor, in the same data | per square foot | $2-$4 |
| Total installed cost, in the same data | per square foot | $13-$22 |
The mortarless line is Frame B's lowest per-square-foot reading, printed as its own veneer line beside the $11 to $18 siding rate. The labor line prints apart from every material line: $2 to $4 per square foot, named as installation labor only, and never folded into a materials-alone band here.
Reading material bands against application lines
A material line answers the composition question; an application line answers the placement question inside the same frames. A quote that names only one of the two readings is read against the table it belongs to, and against no other.
- Installed bands read apart from materials-alone bands
- Mortarless lines read apart from every other per-foot line
- Each frame's material reading read on its own frame only
