STONE VENEER INSTALLATION IN MINNESOTA & THE UPPER MIDWEST

TriLite Stone Company makes manufactured stone veneer in Howard Lake, Minnesota, and we install it too. We take on both residential and commercial projects. We look at each one individually, based on location, project size, scheduling, and installer availability. Minnesota is our primary market, and projects may extend into Wisconsin and other Upper Midwest areas.

Residential and Commercial Installation

We install for homeowners and for commercial projects, and commercial work is a growing part of our business.

  • Homeowners: exteriors and full facades, entryways and columns, garages, fireplaces, interior feature walls, outdoor kitchens and living spaces.
  • Commercial: storefronts, facades, and other commercial buildings.
  • Builders and general contractors: TriLite can install as a subcontractor on your project.
  • Smaller projects: we may be able to take on fireplaces and accent walls, depending on workload and installer availability.

Want to use your own mason or contractor? TriLite supplies the stone, installation documentation, and support either way. See Technical Specifications.

Why Have TriLite Install It

  • One company from product selection through installation. We help you pick a profile, match color to your siding and trim, and plan the job.
  • Who does the work. Installation is handled by a combination of TriLite resources and experienced subcontract installers.
  • Integrated color in TriLite manufactured stone veneer. Color extends through the material, helping cut edges and minor chips maintain a more natural appearance.
  • Made with Midwest conditions in mind. TriLite has decades of Minnesota experience and published freeze-thaw testing for its manufactured stone veneer.
  • Minnesota-based since 1990. Decades of experience, personal service, and hands-on project support.

“Trilite Stone completed a full stone renovation to our home. The work was complex, as there was a new portico and detail around existing windows. They worked within existing brick to create a beautiful finished facade. … Our home is the ‘talk of the block’ and turned out exactly as we envisioned.”
