Serving Spokane Valley, WA and surrounding areas. (509) 508-5560
Dated siding and plain concrete look out of place in a neighborhood that has moved on. We install natural and manufactured stone veneer on exteriors, fireplaces, and accent features in Spokane Valley using the right moisture barriers and mortar for our freeze-thaw climate.
Stone veneer installation in Spokane Valley applies a thin layer of natural or manufactured stone over an existing wall surface, giving your home the look of full stone construction - most residential projects are complete in two days to two weeks depending on the size and surface.
The veneer attaches to your existing wall with a moisture barrier, metal mesh, and mortar - not as a structural element, but as a durable decorative layer that handles Spokane Valley's wide temperature swings when installed correctly. Homes built between the 1950s and 1990s, which make up most of the housing stock here, often have wood-framed walls that need a thorough check before stone goes on. A good installation protects the wall behind it for decades. If your project includes a fireplace or chimney, our concrete block walls service often pairs with stone veneer work on larger projects.
The Masonry Veneer Manufacturers Association publishes installation standards that govern how moisture barriers and mortar should be applied - the contractors who follow those guidelines produce work that holds up in climates like ours, where temperature swings stress every exterior material each year.
If your home's siding looks faded, tired, or simply behind the rest of the street, stone veneer is one of the most durable ways to refresh it. Unlike paint, which needs redoing every few years, well-installed stone veneer holds up for decades with minimal upkeep - even through Spokane Valley's hard winters.
Spokane Valley's freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on mortar joints. If you see cracks running through the grout between stones, or a stone that has shifted slightly away from the wall, the original installation is failing. Water that gets behind the stone and freezes will push the damage further each winter, so early action is much less expensive than waiting.
Plain concrete block, bare stucco, or an outdated brick surround on a fireplace or entry column is one of the most common starting points for stone veneer projects. These are smaller in scale, deliver a big visual impact, and are often the project homeowners have been putting off for years.
Stone veneer on a front entry, lower facade, or garage columns is one of the first things a buyer sees. It signals quality and care, and it holds up under inspection in a way that paint touch-ups do not. If you are preparing to list your home, an exterior veneer upgrade is a practical investment in first impressions.
We install both manufactured and natural thin stone veneer on exterior walls, interior fireplaces, retaining walls, entry columns, and accent features. Every project starts with an honest look at the existing wall surface - checking what is behind it, measuring the area, and talking through style and material options before anything goes on paper. For projects where homeowners want the warmth and character of fully worked natural stone rather than veneer panels, our stone masonry service covers structural and decorative stonework from the ground up.
When your project requires a permit through the City of Spokane Valley or Spokane County - common for larger exterior work that changes the building envelope - we handle the application and coordinate any required inspections. Pulling permits correctly protects you legally and creates a paper trail that matters if you sell your home.
Best for homeowners who want the look of natural stone with a more predictable price - lighter weight, consistent sizing, and available in a wide range of colors and profiles.
Ideal for homeowners who want genuine quarried stone - each piece is unique, and the result has a character that manufactured products do not fully replicate, at a higher material cost.
The right choice for homeowners who want to transform a dated or plain fireplace into a focal point - interior projects have shorter timelines and no permit requirements in most cases.
For homeowners looking to upgrade the front of their home - a partial lower-wall treatment or full facade application is one of the highest-impact exterior improvements available.
Suited for homeowners who want to improve the appearance of an existing concrete retaining wall or plain entry columns without tearing them out and starting over.
Spokane Valley's climate is one of the toughest tests for exterior masonry in the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures swing from well below freezing in winter to above 90 degrees in summer, and the freeze-thaw cycles repeat dozens of times each year. That kind of movement stresses mortar joints - which means the moisture barrier behind the stone and the mortar mix your contractor chooses matter more here than they would in a milder climate. Choosing materials that are not rated for this range of temperatures is one of the main reasons stone veneer starts cracking within a few seasons. Most of Spokane Valley's housing stock was also built between the 1950s and 1990s, and older walls sometimes have conditions behind the siding that need to be addressed before stone goes on - something a contractor who knows these homes will check during the estimate.
We serve homeowners throughout the valley, including in Liberty Lake where newer subdivisions have seen strong demand for exterior stone upgrades as homeowners personalize newer construction, and in Millwood where older homes with plain concrete block or dated exteriors are common candidates for stone veneer refresh projects. The installation window here is roughly May through September - booking early in the season means your project gets done in ideal curing conditions and before summer calendars fill up.
Tell us what surface you want covered and roughly how large it is. We will get back to you within one business day and schedule a time to come see the wall in person - no accurate estimate is possible without seeing the actual surface.
We look at the wall, check what is behind it, measure the area, and talk through style options. Within a few days you receive a written estimate that separates materials and labor - and includes permit fees if a permit is needed for your project.
The crew attaches the moisture barrier and metal mesh first - this is what keeps water out long-term. Then stone goes up from the bottom, with careful attention to corners and transitions. Depending on size, the installation phase takes one day to one week.
Once stone is set, joints are filled and the face is cleaned. We walk you through the finished work before leaving. The mortar needs about a week to fully harden - avoid pressure washing or direct sprinkler contact during that window.
We come to your property, look at the actual wall, and give you a written price - no phone guesses, no surprises. Responding within one business day.
(509) 508-5560We use moisture barriers and mortar mixes rated for freeze-thaw conditions - not whatever is cheapest. Spokane Valley's temperature range is one of the harshest tests for exterior masonry in the region, and a veneer that looks fine in September can start cracking by March if those material choices were wrong.
Every contractor working on your home in Washington is required to be registered with the state. You can confirm our license status in about 30 seconds through the Washington L&I Contractor Lookup. A contractor you cannot verify there is one you should not hire.
We give you a written, itemized estimate after seeing your wall in person - not a range over the phone. Materials and labor are listed separately, and permit fees are included if a permit is required. There are no line items that appear after the job starts.
If your project requires a permit through the City of Spokane Valley or Spokane County, we handle the application and coordinate the inspection. Pulling permits correctly protects you if you sell your home - buyers and their inspectors will ask, and having clean documentation is worth real money at closing.
A stone veneer installation is only as good as the prep work behind it and the materials holding it together. We focus on those fundamentals first, because that is what determines whether the job still looks right in ten years.
