Stone Veneer Installation in Fort Worth

Stone veneer on Fort Worth home facades, columns, chimneys, and kitchen surrounds. Natural or manufactured, detailed so moisture has a way out.

Stone veneer in Fort Worth runs about $20 to $45 per square foot installed, depending on natural versus manufactured stone. We face home fronts, entry columns, chimneys, and outdoor kitchen surrounds. Natural stone is heavier and reads as real because it is, and on the west side it usually means native limestone to match the stone homes in Westover Hills and Rivercrest. Manufactured stone is lighter and cheaper and has come a long way on looks.

The detail that decides whether veneer lasts is what goes behind it. Stone veneer is not waterproof, so a wall needs a drainage plane, a weather-resistant barrier, and weep screeds at the bottom so any water that gets behind the stone has a path back out. Veneer set straight onto sheathing with no drainage detail traps moisture and rots the wall behind it. We detail the moisture path before the first stone goes up, and most of the failed veneer we have torn off got that part wrong.

Mortar-set leaves a grout joint between the stones. Dry-stack sets them tight with no visible joint for a cleaner, flatter look that reads well in native limestone. Both hold up outdoors. For columns and freestanding stone, the footing has to carry the weight: the shallow limestone across much of the west side gives a firm base, while toward the east of the county the clay moves and the footing has to be sized for it so a rigid stone face does not crack.

Stone veneer pairs with retaining walls and the rest of our stonework when you are working a sloped Fort Worth lot or a ranch-style front yard, since one crew matching the stone keeps it all reading as one project.
