Exterior Finishing

Stone & Masonry

Heavyweight craftsmanship.

Cut stone, brick and block work — load-bearing and veneer — executed by traditional masons.

Stone masonry is the longest-lasting trade in construction — built right, a stone wall outlives the building around it. We use traditional masons working with cut stone, ashlar, rubble and dressed quoins, with mortars matched to substrate and exposure.

Veneer and load-bearing both — from heritage restoration to contemporary stone elevations.

Our Process

A clear, six-stage path from first conversation to handover — tailored for stone & masonry.

  1. STEP 01

    Discovery & Site Visit

    · Week 1

    We walk the site, listen to your goals and constraints, capture measurements, and align on a realistic budget envelope before any drawings are produced.

  2. STEP 02

    Design & Engineering

    · Weeks 2–4

    Architectural and structural detailing, material selection, and 3D coordination — refined with you until every decision is locked in writing.

  3. STEP 03

    Estimating & Contract

    · Week 5

    Detailed line-item estimate, schedule of values and a transparent fixed-scope contract. No vague allowances, no surprise change orders.

  4. STEP 04

    Construction

    · Weeks 6–16

    On-site execution under a dedicated project manager, with weekly progress photos, a live schedule, and clear escalation paths for any decision.

  5. STEP 05

    Quality & Snagging

    · Final 2 weeks

    Independent quality inspection, punch-list resolution, commissioning of systems, and a comprehensive walkthrough before handover.

  6. STEP 06

    Handover & Warranty

    · Day 1 and beyond

    Keys, drawings, manuals, warranties and a maintenance plan — plus a 12-month workmanship guarantee and ongoing support.

FAQs

Load-bearing for heritage rebuilds and feature walls. Veneer for almost all modern applications — easier, lighter, more flexible.

Lime mortar for heritage and breathable assemblies; cement-lime for general; cement-only only where strength demands. We match to substrate.

Sacrificial mortar joints, water-shedding details, and selective sealing at high-exposure faces.

Yard visits with the client to hand-select; we lay out test panels before fabrication for stone with visual variability.

Properly built stone work outlives every other component of a building — 200+ years routine for traditional construction.

Stone veneer $40–95/sqft installed; full ashlar load-bearing $180–340/sqft. Heritage restoration billed by craft hours.
