STONEWORK · § I
Thin-cut stone applied to existing surfaces.
Stone veneer is a thin layer of natural or manufactured stone set against an existing surface — a wall, a chimney, an entry column. It reads as full stone but weighs a fraction of it, which widens where and how it can be used.

THE CASE FOR VENEER.
- 01
A full-stone look
Finished surfaces read as solid stone, whether the substrate is framing, block, or existing masonry.
- 02
A fraction of the weight
Lighter than structural stone — usable on wood-framed walls, existing chimneys, and interior features without reinforcement.
- 03
A fraction of the cost
Material cost and installation labor are both lower than solid stone, without giving up the surface character.
- 04
Set and pointed
Mortar-set on prepared substrate, pointed to match the stone's character — tight for dressed stone, wider for rough-cut.
We source veneer from regional suppliers and set it to the same standards as structural stone. Every job starts with a site visit.
