Beautiful stone without the weight

Stone’s natural look adds character to any Metro Vancouver home. A full masonry wall costs too much and takes too long for most exterior upgrades. Our lightweight Stone Veneer gives you that rich texture without the high price tag and complicated installation.

We install veneer that handles West Coast rain and wind. Your home gets the curb appeal you want, and the work fits your timeline and budget.

Coverage for Chartwell

We bring the same stone veneer work to homes in Chartwell. Many residents want a stone exterior but worry about local permits before they start.

Our team knows how Chartwell’s approval process works and walks you through it. You deal with less paperwork and get to enjoy your home’s new stone look sooner.

Stone veneer installation

Manufactured stone veneer is made from portland cement, lightweight aggregates, and mineral pigments. This mixture looks like natural stone but is much lighter. The installation starts with a weather-resistant barrier placed over the sheathing. Then, corrosion-resistant metal lath is attached to the studs. A scratch coat of polymer-modified mortar is spread over the lath and allowed to cure. This creates a strong base.

Next, individual stones or panels are set into fresh mortar and pressed down to ensure they make full contact. The joints between the stones are shaped to a consistent width, usually half an inch. This helps water drain away and keeps a neat look. Some systems use interlocking panels that speed up installation while still looking like hand-laid stone.

Moisture management

Stone veneer acts as a drained cladding system. There is a clear air gap behind the veneer. This gap allows moisture that gets behind the stone to drain down and escape through weep screeds at the bottom. Flashing is placed at the bottom of the wall, above windows and doors, and at any horizontal breaks to direct water out. This protects the sheathing and framing.

The metal lath must be attached through the sheathing into the wall studs with corrosion-resistant fasteners. These fasteners are spaced to support the weight of the veneer without sagging. This setup transfers the weight of the stone to the building’s frame. Proper detailing at the foundation line creates a capillary break, stopping ground moisture from rising behind the veneer.

Permit and noise regulations

In Burnaby, you need a building permit for stone veneer cladding. The city may ask for an engineering report at the building inspector’s discretion before starting exterior cladding work.

Burnaby’s noise bylaw limits construction noise to weekdays from 7 am to 8 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 8 pm. There is no noisy work allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Stone veneer installation that makes noise must follow these hours unless an exception is approved.

In Surrey, construction noise for stone veneer installation is allowed from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday through Saturday. No construction for profit or gain is allowed on Sunday. Plan noisy work within these hours or get written approval for extended hours.

Exterior project example

One example of the work this team can handle is a local school with old exterior cladding that was trapping moisture and starting to break down. This posed a risk of further damage to the buildings. To fix this, we installed stone veneer on several buildings in phases. We planned each step around the school’s daily schedule so classes could continue without interruption. The result is a weatherproof and attractive campus that no longer needs constant repairs, giving staff confidence that the exterior will last.
