Each exterior stone veneer installation is prepared to prevent moisture intrusion and structural issues over time.
Our Stone Veneer Installation Process
Professional stone veneer installation begins before the first stone is set.
- Site Evaluation
Surface conditions, structural backing, and transition points are reviewed. - Substrate Preparation
Interior: Cement board or approved backing materials are installed as required. - Exterior: Lath and scratch coat are applied when necessary.
- Stone Layout and Installation
Stone veneer is laid out for proportion and visual balance. Mortar joints are controlled for consistency. - Detailing and Final Inspection
Edges, terminations, and transitions are refined. The finished surface is inspected prior to completion.
This process ensures the stone veneer installation performs structurally and visually for years to come.
Why Proper Installation Matters
Stone veneer must be installed using correct preparation methods. Improper installation can result in:
- Moisture intrusion
- Bond failure
- Cracking
- Premature deterioration
Professional stone veneer installation includes correct fastening systems, surface preparation, flashing, and mortar application techniques. Attention to these details protects the structure behind the stone.
