Why I choose MVIS

A home should last a lifetime. And an investment into the beauty and strength of your home should lead to permanent changes that keep your house just the way you want it. A remodel and an upgrade to your home serves multiple purposes. Exterior upgrades must take into consideration the safety and longevity of the structure. The look and impression of the exterior must also be considered. And you need a contractor that considers every necessity throughout the entire process of exterior selection, quotes, scheduling, installation, and follow-up.

The Old Way – Stone Veneer

Stone Veneer creates an exterior wall that associates your home with the sturdy and lasting beauty of a House of Stone. But it allows for modern efficiency and cost saving measures. Unfortunately, many contractors are still recommending methods of installation that compromise the structure of your home. No builder in Lancaster County or Central Pennsylvania can deny that every exterior must endure snow and freezing, warm summer thunderstorms, and hot humid days. 

Most installations measures in the past few decades did start with a waterproof barrier and a slight runoff channel for water that seeped through. But then the standard was to staple a metal grid to the barrier. The veneer would then hang onto the metal grid. The stapling process punctured the waterproof barrier in thousands of places. Water was then left to seep into the interior of the home’s walls. The combination of internal water intrusions and the erosion on the metal grid leads to unstable home exteriors. 

The Future – Safe and Lasting Stone Veneer

The Best in Industry Masonry Veneer Installation System (MVIS) employed by Green Rock Contracting creates and impermeable barrier. The modern adhesive used combines the strength and durability of concrete and grout with the precision of caulk and glue. Traditional adhesives relied heavily on the surrounding stones for strength. A single stone could be pulled off by the weight of a large raccoon. That is why a small problem could rapidly lead to a major failure. That is, stone falling of the home exterior. 

With MVIS adhesive, a single stone can hold the weight of a large man. This sheer strength is further increased by the addition of the surrounding stone. The strength of the adhesive and the impermeable barrier combine the classic beauty and strength of a Lancaster County Stone Farmhouse, which can stand for hundreds of years, with the modern efficiency and cost effectiveness available today.
