Kinds of stone veneer we install
Adhered stone veneer
Stone is set in mortar over a scratch coat, a rough base coat, on a prepared wall with a water barrier behind it. It usually suits lighter stone on a sound wall.
Anchored stone veneer
Stone is held to the wall with metal ties, with an air space behind it and support at its base. It usually suits thicker, heavier natural stone.
What goes into stone veneer installation in Rocklin?
Stone veneer installation in Rocklin puts a layer of natural or manufactured stone on your house's walls, either set in mortar or held with anchors. It goes over a water barrier and flashing, so any water that gets behind the stone can drain away.
Most people who call about stone are looking at a plain stucco wall, a porch column or the lower part of a front wall, and they want it to look like more than paint. The price depends on how much wall you're covering, the stone you pick, whether it's set in mortar or anchored and what the wall needs before any stone goes on, and the schedule depends on those same things. On the farm we learned that a post set in mud is leaning by spring, and stone over a bad wall isn't much different, so if a chimney repair or a patch has to come first, I'll tell you. I'll look it over and leave you a written estimate in plain words with your own number on it.
Stone veneer, from wall check to cleanup
We start with the wall underneath, because a weak base ruins good stone, and then help you pick a stone suited to outdoor use. Those two answers decide the method.
Fixing the wall first
We find and fix cracks and soft spots first, or build the wall new with concrete block walls or foundation block wall installation.
Matching stone and method
We help you pick a stone suited to outdoor use, then match mortar or anchors to that stone and your wall.
Barrier and flashing
We put a water barrier and flashing, which is thin metal at the edges, behind the stone so water that gets in has a way out.
Setting stone and cleanup
We set the stone row by row, finish the joints neatly, and haul off the scraps and mortar waste when we're done.

Stone veneer questions we hear
How much does stone veneer installation cost near Rocklin?
Stone veneer installation in the Sacramento-Roseville area usually costs about $2,800 to $10,800 per project. That's the going range in the area, not a quote, and the written estimate I leave you gives your own number.
Can stone veneer go over any wall?
No. Trade group guidance says adhered manufactured stone should go over sound walls, not over deteriorating ones or over EIFS, which is foam insulation board with a stucco-like finish. If your wall is failing or is EIFS, we'll talk about what has to change before any stone goes on.
Does a small stone job in California need a licensed contractor?
Almost always. The state lets an unlicensed person do minor work under $1,000 only when no permit is needed, and if the job needs a permit of any kind or the person hires helpers, a license is required even below $1,000.
How do I choose stone veneer that stands up to the weather in Rocklin?
Pick a stone with a record of standing up to weather like ours, because a stone trade group notes that not every natural stone is suggested for exterior use. Ask how a stone has done in local weather before you settle on it, and I'll tell you what I know about the ones you're considering.
What is the best way to install stone veneer, adhered or anchored?
There's no single best way. The right one depends on your wall, how much support it gives, the loads, the stone and even the local climate, so ask your installer which method suits your wall and stone. If you want water behind the stone to drain better and dry sooner, ask whether a rainscreen, an optional drainage gap behind the stone, suits your wall.
What causes problems with stone veneer on a house?
When manufactured stone shows problems, trade group guidance says the work done on site tends to be the main source. That makes the installer as important as the stone, so ask anyone you're considering how they'll check the wall and handle water behind it.
Other work around stone
Concrete block walls
A new block wall gives stone a solid backing, and it also works on its own around a yard, a planter or a property line.

Stone veneer permits and walls in Rocklin
In Rocklin, the city's Permit Center takes project submittals, issues the permits a job needs and schedules inspections, and the Building Division reviews plans and inspects the work. Whether your stone job needs a permit is the city's call, so we find out for your address and handle the paperwork with them when it does.
Around here we mostly cover stucco, such as the lower band of a front wall, porch columns or an outside chimney chase. Long hot summers and winter rain are hard on whatever's behind the stone, which is why the barrier and flashing get as much care as the face. We're based in Rocklin and see the same houses on jobs in Roseville and Granite Bay. We work in the other cities around Rocklin too, so if you don't see yours listed, just ask.
