A fresh coat of paint can’t hide the wear on exteriors here—the moisture cycling eventually shows through. You invest in a refresh, only to watch the same dullness return a season later.
Stone veneer adds depth and texture to a home’s front that other materials cannot match. It also creates a barrier against dampness, protecting the structure beneath from our rainy stretches.

Weather-Resistant Curb Appeal
Old, flat siding can make your home look outdated. Stone veneer adds rich texture and shadow lines that draw attention, improving your curb appeal in one step.
Installers remove the old surface and put on a water-resistant underlayment before placing the stone. This layered method creates a strong, low-maintenance finish that can handle rain and wind. For lasting results, stone veneer in Vancouver relies on careful preparation.
Government Road has many older homes that show wear on the outside. Wet winters and rainy springs can speed up siding damage, making a strong upgrade a wise choice.
Stone veneer gives these homes a fresh, modern appearance that withstands Burnaby’s weather without needing constant care. For Government Road homeowners, this means less concern about peeling paint or warped panels.
Stone Veneer Installation Steps
In a Government Road home, installers start by removing old siding and checking the wood sheathing for rot. They attach a water-resistant barrier over the sheathing, then add a drainage mat. This mat helps moisture escape and is important for keeping the framing dry in Metro Vancouver’s rainy weather.
Next, they secure corrosion-resistant metal lath through the drainage layer into the wall studs. They apply a scratch coat of polymer-modified mortar onto the lath. After that, stone veneer units are pressed into the mortar and jointed. Manufactured stone is often used here because it is lighter, which reduces structural load and speeds up installation.
Stone veneer on a Government Road exterior acts as a drained cladding system. The gap behind the stone, made by the drainage mat, allows any water that gets past the mortar to flow down and exit through weep screeds at the bottom of the wall. This rainscreen design stops moisture from getting trapped against the sheathing, which is a common issue during Metro Vancouver’s long wet season.
The lath fasteners must go into the wall studs, not just the sheathing, to support the weight of the cladding. For older Government Road homes with standard framing, installers check stud locations and use the right fasteners. They also add flashings at window heads and sills to direct water away from the stone surface, helping to keep the building envelope intact without relying only on sealants.
Building Permits for Stone Veneer
Installing or replacing stone veneer on your Government Road home is an exterior change that needs a building permit. Under the Burnaby Building Bylaw 2016, this type of work is considered an alteration, so you must get a permit before starting.
The City of Burnaby’s home improvement permit rules say that any construction project that changes a building needs a permit. Adding stone veneer to an existing exterior wall in Government Road is an alteration, so homeowners must obtain a building permit before beginning this work.
Under Burnaby’s building envelope rules, exterior cladding systems like stone veneer must be designed and reviewed to manage moisture and ensure durability. For stone veneer on homes in Government Road, the assembly must meet the building envelope requirements and may need review and approval by a building envelope professional, especially for more complex or higher-risk wall assemblies.
A local school in Government Road had old siding that let moisture get behind the lower parts of its walls. We fixed this by adding stone veneer to the buildings. We worked with the staff to keep entrances safe and usable during school hours. The new exterior stops moisture from getting in and looks better for students and staff every day.
Supporting Our Community
We often do stone veneer work in Government Road. The trip is simple. We take Highway 1 and Gaglardi Way, passing Burnaby Lake. We usually arrive at your door in about 25 to 35 minutes. When we need materials, we go to local hardware stores like Dick’s Lumber & Building Supplies and West-Can Home Hardware. This way, our projects support the community where you live.
Old, flat siding on homes in Government Road can look worn and allow moisture in. We install stone veneer to give your home depth, texture, and a weather-resistant layer. First, we remove the old siding, then add a water-resistant underlayment and drainage mat. Next, we secure manufactured stone with mortar over metal lath for a quicker installation. With Burnaby’s wet winters and rainy springs, this system helps prevent moisture damage, so you won’t have to worry about peeling paint or warped panels. Since this is an exterior change, a building permit is needed under Burnaby’s bylaw, and a building envelope professional may need to review the work. Project costs usually range from $8,000 to $24,000, and we can reach homes on Government Road quickly.
