Stone Veneers by Lalo's Tile & Coping

Stone veneer is the layer that gives a house its face. We install natural and manufactured veneer across DFW on home facades, entry columns, the surrounds on outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, and interior and exterior accent walls.

It's a thin stone face set over a structural backing, so you get the look of full masonry at a fraction of the weight and cost, on a wall that was never built to carry solid stone.

On material, the two families are natural stone veneer, cut thin from real stone like limestone, fieldstone, and ledgestone, and manufactured veneer, which is cast concrete colored and shaped to look like stone.

Natural reads as the real thing because it is, and it weathers without fading. Manufactured costs less, comes in consistent sizes that go up faster, and the better lines hold their color well.

In our climate both work well. The freeze-thaw swings and hard summer sun are what separate a good product from a cheap one, so we steer you to lines that have held up on DFW homes.

The veneer lasts on what's behind it. We build the wall the right way: a weather-resistant barrier, lath fastened into structure, a proper setting bed, flashing at every opening and transition, and a drainage gap at the base so any water that gets behind the stone has a way out.

That detailing is the whole job, and it's the part that keeps the face from staining or pulling loose down the road.

Most veneer work ties into the rest of the yard. A fireplace or outdoor kitchen surround should carry the same stone as the facade and the retaining walls, and the veneer on a raised wall often sits right above a new paver patio.

One crew setting all of it keeps the stone matched and the timeline together. For the broader hardscape scope, walls, walkways, and patios, see our stonework work.

What our clients say

Lalo is super knowledgeable and helpful. He's always answered all my questions and been my go-to guy for anything pool related. Can't recommend him enough.

Homeowner, Dallas TX

These guys did our whole pool retile in four days. Showed up on time every morning, cleaned up every evening. The pool looks better than when it was new.

Homeowner, Plano TX

We've used Lalo's on three builds now. They just get it done. No drama, no excuses. That's hard to find with subs.

Pool Builder, DFW

Lalo came out himself to look at our coping. Didn't try to upsell us on stuff we didn't need. Just told us what needed fixing and gave us a fair price.

Homeowner, Fort Worth TX

Had another company do our tile and it started falling off after one summer. Lalo's crew came in, tore it out, and redid the whole thing. Should have called them first.

Homeowner, Garland TX

Honest people, quality work. That's it. That's the review.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Natural veneer is real stone cut thin, so it reads as the real thing and weathers without fading, at a higher cost. Manufactured veneer is cast concrete made to look like stone, costs less, and goes up faster in consistent sizes. Both hold up here when the wall behind them is built right. We bring samples of both to the estimate.

It depends on natural compared to manufactured stone, the height and access of the wall, and how much flashing and prep the wall needs. A facade accent or a single surround costs less than a full house facade. We measure on site and quote a fixed price.

Almost always water behind the stone with no way out. A veneer set without a weather barrier, flashing at the openings, and a drainage gap at the base traps moisture, and you get staining and stone pulling off the wall over time. We build the drainage detailing in from the start.

Usually yes. Over most exterior sheathing or solid masonry we install a weather barrier and lath, or bond directly to sound masonry, then set the veneer. We check the wall first to confirm it's sound and detail the flashing so the new face sheds water.
