Exterior Improvements & Stone Veneers
Exterior upgrades including stone veneers, facades, walkways, and entry features. Protect and beautify your home's exterior with our comprehensive services.
Your home's exterior is the first thing people see — and the first line of defense against Long Island's weather. JZ Development provides comprehensive exterior improvement services that boost curb appeal, increase property value, and protect your investment.
Stone veneer installation is one of our specialties. We transform plain facades into stunning stone-clad exteriors using manufactured and natural stone veneers that are lighter and more affordable than full-thickness stone while delivering the same visual impact. Our veneer installations are properly flashed, sealed, and detailed for Long Island's climate.
Beyond veneers, we handle complete exterior upgrades including new walkways, entry features, siding installation and repair, deck construction, window and door replacement, and exterior painting. We approach every exterior project with a focus on materials that perform well in our coastal environment — salt air, wind, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Whether you're preparing to sell and want maximum curb appeal or simply want to enjoy a more beautiful home, our exterior improvement services deliver transformative results. We work with every budget to identify the improvements that deliver the most value and visual impact for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is stone veneer and how does it differ from real stone?
Stone veneer is a thin layer of stone (natural or manufactured) that is applied to an existing surface to create the appearance of full-thickness stone. It's lighter, less expensive, and easier to install than full stone, while providing the same visual appeal. Manufactured veneers are made from concrete molded to look like natural stone.
How long does stone veneer last on Long Island?
Properly installed stone veneer lasts 20-50+ years on Long Island. Quality installation with proper flashing, moisture barriers, and sealing is critical for longevity in our climate. We follow manufacturer specifications and industry best practices on every installation.
Can you improve curb appeal on a budget?
Absolutely. Simple exterior improvements like new walkways, updated entry features, fresh paint, and targeted stone veneer accents can dramatically improve curb appeal without a massive budget. We work with homeowners to prioritize upgrades that deliver the most visual impact per dollar.
How much does stone veneer installation cost on Long Island?
Stone veneer installation on Long Island typically costs $15-$35 per square foot depending on the material (manufactured vs. natural stone) and the complexity of the installation. A typical facade project ranges from $5,000-$15,000. There are options at every price point — manufactured veneers offer the look of natural stone at a lower cost, and we can focus on high-impact areas to work within your budget. We provide free on-site estimates.
