What it is, and why it matters.
Stone veneer is a thin layer of natural or manufactured stone set over a structural wall. It gives the look of a full stone wall without the weight and cost. It also needs proper preparation, because water behind a poorly installed veneer is the main reason it fails.
We install stone veneer on exterior walls, columns, entry features, fireplaces and accent walls for homes in Nashville and across the region. The work includes weather barrier, lath, scratch coat, flashing and clean finished joints.
Four things done right.
Prepped like a plaster wall
A weather barrier, lath and scratch coat give the stone something solid to bond to.
Water has a way out
Flashing and weeps at the base and over openings let moisture escape.
A pattern that flows
Pieces are mixed from several boxes so colors and sizes blend naturally.
Clean, tight joints
Mortar is placed carefully so it does not smear on the stone face.

Stone Veneer Installation: common questions
Is stone veneer real stone?
It can be. Natural stone veneer is thin-cut real stone, while manufactured stone is cast concrete made to look like stone. We explain the differences in cost, weight and look before you choose.
Can stone veneer go over brick?
Sometimes, with the right preparation. Painted or sealed brick may need to be scarified or lathed first, and we look at the wall before we give a price.
