Texas House Exterior Makeover: From Basic Siding to Custom Stone
Hi, I’m Kristen, and I worked with this homeowner in Texas on a full exterior upgrade.
The home had solid structure, but the painted siding made it feel flat and a bit dated. It didn’t reflect the style or character the homeowner wanted and from the outside, it just didn’t stand out.
They weren’t interested in tearing everything off or starting a major renovation. They just wanted something that would dramatically improve the look and feel of the home without adding complexity. This project is a great example of how a house exterior makeover can completely change the look and feel of a home without a full remodel.
Exterior Transformation with Stone Siding
A simple material upgrade completely changed the feel of this home. Instead of replacing the entire exterior, we focused on installing stone siding to create a more substantial, high-end look.
✅ Installed directly over existing wood siding
✅ No demolition required
✅ Completed in days, not weeks

Project Details
- Products Used: Panels, Corners
- Color: Desert Sunrise
- Install: Over Existing Siding
Yes, GenStone can be installed over any flat surface.
That would add thousands in additional costs and GenStone is lightweight, so there’s no reason to remove the existing substrate.
This combination was chosen to bring warmth and contrast to the exterior while creating a natural stone look that complements the surrounding landscape.
