Premier Stone

What Premier Stone does

Premier Stone, a brand of Stone Warehouse, Inc., is a Marietta, Georgia-based manufacturer of lightweight manufactured stone veneer founded in 2000. The company produces a complete cast-stone product line — six core styles (Ledge, Stack, Rubble, Field Stone, River Rock, and Tuscany) plus an accessory range (corners, caps, window sills, keystones, hearth stones, mantels, corbels, electrical and light boxes). Manufacturing uses castings made from natural stone as master molds, combined with Portland cements, sands, lightweight aggregates, and iron oxide pigments, producing finished products that weigh approximately 40% of natural stone weight. This composition eliminates the need for structural reinforcement, allows mortar-based installation on any prepared substrate, and conforms to ASTM C150, C330, C144, and SBCCI Section 1405.6 standards; the company is ICC-ES certified (Report No. 3358) and IAPMO UES certified (#0354).

The commercial model is exclusively indirect. Premier Stone does not sell directly; products move to end customers (residential homeowners and builders, commercial contractors, masons) through a nationwide network of authorized distributors, who stock sample boards for color and style selection. Pricing is by the square foot (with an ~8% waste allowance), box weights are standardized at 100 lbs per box, and custom color blending is offered at no additional charge for qualifying projects. Marketing assets consist primarily of distributor-driven sampling, a toll-free customer line (877-97STONE), and a basic company website with specification and installation content. Brand visibility has historically included exposure on ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

Ownership appears closely held with no venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment disclosed. The company operates from a single manufacturing location in Marietta, GA, serves the U.S. nationwide through the distributor channel, and carries a 30-year limited product warranty. No disclosed revenue, headcount, or material recent strategic actions were identified in the source data.

Direct peers

• Eldorado Stone: Eldorado Stone is a leading manufacturer of architectural stone veneer and brick veneer products serving residential and commercial construction. Direct competitor in the same lightweight manufactured stone veneer category with broader national distribution and brand recognition.
• Cultured Stone (Boral): Cultured Stone, owned by Boral, is one of the original and largest manufactured stone veneer brands in the US. Directly competes with Premier Stone in shape, style, color, and channel (distributor-driven), with deeper resources for national marketing and product development.
• National Stone Veneer: National Stone Veneer manufactures profile stone veneer and accessories for residential and commercial applications. Direct peer offering similar lightweight manufactured veneer through dealer/distributor networks across the US.
• Coronado Stone Products: Coronado manufactures a broad line of manufactured stone veneer, thin brick, and architectural stone products. Comparable in product mix and channel, with similar distributor-led sales model and overlapping customer segments in residential and commercial construction.

Emerging players

• Quarry Mill: Quarry Mill produces natural thin stone veneer as a direct alternative to manufactured stone. Comparable end-use application (lightweight veneer for cladding, fireplaces, accent walls) but uses real stone rather than cast, competing on authenticity and price.
• Envirostone / Texture Plus: Smaller manufactured stone veneer producers focused on specialty profiles, faux panels, and architectural accents. Partial overlap with Premier Stone in lightweight veneer for residential and light commercial use, typically serving regional markets.
• ClipStone: ClipStone offers an innovative mortarless stone veneer installation system. Competes in the same end-use category (interior/exterior stone-look cladding) with a different installation mechanism aimed at DIY and speed-of-install segments where Premier Stone plays via mortar.

Broad incumbents
