Stone Veneer in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Walls, Steps & Stone

Stone Veneer

Natural and manufactured stone facing for fireplaces, kitchens, columns and walls, with the look of solid stone and less weight.

Stone veneer gives a structure the look of solid stone without the weight or the foundation that solid stone needs. It is the finish of choice for outdoor fireplaces, kitchen islands, column faces and the sides of raised planters.

We install natural thin stone and manufactured veneer over properly prepared block, concrete and framed substrates. Details like corners, flashing, weep screeds and caps are what make veneer last and look right, and we handle them as carefully as the stone itself.

Natural and manufactured

Natural thin veneer is real stone cut thin and has unmatched variation. Manufactured veneer is cast and colored and can be lighter and more economical. We show samples in your light so you can choose.

Substrate and moisture

Veneer needs a solid, clean surface and a moisture plan. We install lath, scratch coat and flashing as needed, and detail the base so water cannot sit behind the stone.

Patterns and mortar joints

Ledgestone, fieldstone and cut stone patterns each produce a different look. Dry-stack styles use tight joints, and mortared styles have a fuller joint. We lay out stone to avoid repeats and awkward seams.

Caring for veneer

Veneer needs very little care. A gentle rinse removes dust, and a sealer is optional. We recommend inspecting the base and flashing once a year and keeping soil and mulch away from the bottom edge so moisture does not wick up.

Questions

Stone Veneer FAQ

Is stone veneer as durable as solid stone?

Properly installed veneer is very durable. It is a facing, so the structure behind it must be sound and dry.

Can veneer go on an existing wall?

Often yes, if the wall is solid, clean and suitable. We inspect it first.

Does veneer need sealing?

Often optional. Sealing can resist stains and deepen color, and we advise by stone type.

Can you match my home exterior?

We bring samples of stone that complements brick, siding and roof colors.

Can veneer go on a wood-framed island?

Yes, over properly prepared backer board and lath, with the right moisture protection.
