Searching for stone veneer or manufactured stone in Chicago? We manufacture and install thin stone veneer for fireplaces, interior walls, wine cellars and exteriors for both residential and commercial customers. Every batch of stone is custom colored and made for the exacting needs of our customers.
Our coloring and manufacturing process make our stones stand out as evidenced in our picture gallery and our testimonials. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Alan, the owner, was great in initial emails, then when we visited his showroom went out of way to make us and our small kids feel comfortable and informed.
Pricing and options was thorough and under our budget. The day of our install he showed up to kick off the job then left his very talented crew to complete the project. They blocked off the area to keep the house dust free and moved super-fast, yet clearly put a lot of care into the placement of every stone.

Services
All the latest Design and Decorator magazines show beautiful stone fireplaces as the centerpieces of their traditional, transitional, rustic, or contemporary rooms. North Star Stone creates a fireplace design that can transform your room with a Custom Stone Veneer Fireplace in the style and color of stone veneer of your choice.
Cobble Field is our special blend of about 80% cobble stone and about 20% of our field stone. The blend and the percentage mix of the two stones is very balanced and creates a nice pattern for both exterior and interior projects. Homes that are set on a wooded or rustic lot make this stone blend a great choice.
For a sophisticated, yet elegant look, consider our Ledge stone Style Stone (also referred to as a ledge stone or drystack (dry stack stone veneer). These stones are longer and more narrow than our cobble stone. There is a lot of relief (depth and character of the stone). This faux or manufactured stone veneer can dress up a brick fireplace that needs a refacing, and works well with a new wood mantel or TV with your new stone fireplace.
Our Mountain Ledge Stone Veneer makes a gorgeous choice for fireplaces. It offers textured stone with clean lines and medium sized, bold stones. As with all of our stone, our Mountain Ledge Stone Veneer can be custom colored to match your design style. This stone goes beautifully with bold wood mantles of any color.
Mountain Stack stone is our most popular blend of stone for interior projects such as fireplaces. The pieces are a blend of more roughly textured stones with some thinner and linear stones with less texture. This blend of textures creates a very appealing look for fireplaces and interior walls where you want to create a focal point.

Every part of this project was 5 star. Start to finish, Alan walked us through it all. This company has integrity. The project started and ended on time which during covid is not a small thing! When the delivery truck failed to pick up our stone twice, Alan personally rented a trailer and drove out of state to pick up our stone and deliver it as promised for the start date of our project. He helped us with design choices, guiding us in something that would compliment our home and last for years to come. The masonry process was fascinating to watch. I had no idea the artistry, intentionality, and

I couldn't be happier with this company. Alan was great to work with. He spent a lot of time showing me samples and pictures and then sent a picture of what the project would look like, including different options. He was a big help in making any decision. The work was done in the estimated amount of time. No one could tell these aren't natural stone. My backyard looks so different now and so much better. I highly recommend using them

I purchased stone veneer from North Star Stone for a DIY install on a stacked stone indoor fireplace. Alan was a great help in determining the product, color and shipping plan. It started as an online purchase but direct contact with him made me feel like I was buying it from a merchant I knew. The product itself worked out pretty well - it is easier to cut and has a better "real stone" surface than other cast veneer's I've seen and had used on projects. If you're looking for a DIY product I would recommend you reach out to Alan and get their help with your needs.

It was a pleasure working with North Star Stone for our refurbished fireplace. Alan made the process simple and easy. More than that, the project happened and finished when they said it would. The crew that installed were great and the finished product is fantastic! We will use them again for my fireplace projects.

North Star Stone made the process so easy and stress free. We had an idea of what we wanted, but Alan made some very helpful suggestions on design. You can tell they take pride in their work and know what they are doing. Our job probably wasn't the biggest they had, but nonetheless we felt valued and important every step of the way. Highly recommend North Star Stone.

We are very pleased with our experience working with North Star Stone! We started with an old wood-burning fireplace that we had never used since moving into and remodeling the house. We first had to get gas installed and I worked people that North Star recommended. They did a great job. For the stone, I had a certain “look” that I wanted, and with that in mind, Alan showed me several types of stone that I might be interested in. He answered all my questions, explained the pros and cons of different styles, and in the end, I am completely satisfied with my choices. Everyone, from Alan to Paul

Alan and North Star Stone was a great choice for our fireplace refinish. We were very happy with the process, scheduling, timing, and ultimately how the fireplace turned out. Our installer Paul was great and very easy to work with. He was a bit of an artist and really took the extra time to place each stone to make it look natural.
Alan worked with us in the showroom and via email to help us make the perfect selections to match our desired look. He made the color scheme perfect to our request by customizing the shades. We would recommend North Star Stone to anyone we know who is in the market

I've been a contractor installing cultured stone for over 35 years and over that time I've installed just about everybody's version of this product. I have to say, I've found North Star Stone's product to be of great quality and selection. What I'm most impressed with, though, is the superior service. The owner, Alan, gave my clients all the time they needed, explaining the stone styles, colors and layouts. He made my job all the easier by being so thorough, answering all their questions and making them comfortable with the durability of the product. I will send all

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with North Star Stone. We had looked for weeks for stone for our new construction home and could not find the right blend. It was very frustrating walking into big box stores or landscaping places and not have personal attention or experienced help. The minute we walked into the showroom at North Star Stone and met with Alan, we knew we had found the right place. Alan had an excellent presentation and display of many types of stone that might work for us. He listened to our ideas and presented us with different options. We were so impressed when

When we moved into our home, we knew we didn't like the fireplace, but had no idea of what to do about it. We found North Star Stone online, and sent out an email basically asking for help. Alan replied promptly with great suggestions, so we went in to the showroom. We were impressed with the options Alan presented. He spent a lot of time with us and made us quite comfortable. The work was done as scheduled, with a minimum of disruption, and we are thrilled with the results. We highly recommend North Star Stone.

Alan at North Star Stone assisted us front start to finish with adding a fireplace and the associate chimney to our home. Alan was able to recommend the various trades associated with the process for the components of the project which he would not be able to assist with. North Star Stone does a great job at communicating their offering, both in person and on the web. Throughout the project they are always available and available to communicate other trades as well. Every project has its hurdles, Alan was able to make recommendations and accommodations that allowed us to complete our project in

I had a great experience with North Star Stone..I had an idea of what I wanted for my fireplace remodel and Alan walked me through all the options. He was very thorough and provided the necessary information to make a decision on the design. Alan was very attentive to what the customer was looking for and willing to listen to the customer. We collaborated on the design and color choice of the stone. The fireplace is absolutely beautiful and great focal point of the room. Alan exceeded my expectations and would recommend North Star Stone to anyone who wants to remodel their fireplace or other stone

North Star Stone installed their beautiful stone on our colonial style home and we love the new look. They took time to help us determine where to add the stone and then select the best style and color of stone. We loved the fact that even though we didn't have a brick ledge their stone veneer can be applied to our house.
The installers did a great job and were very careful about the plantings around the house. The installation of the stone took about a week. I would definitely recommend them for their quality stone work.
