While there aren't many drawbacks to stone siding, the two main concerns are pretty major. First, can your home's structure and foundation support the excess weight of stone siding? While some homes are able to be reinforced to support the weight, some homes just can't hold the extra weight. The second (and probably last) major drawback to stone siding is the cost. We aren't kidding when we tell you it's one of the most expensive materials to install, and that's not just because of the materials price tag. Labor is intensive, and more often than not heavy equipment is brought in to handle the stone.
