Looking for stone veneer & facades in Cambridge, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Cambridge and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Cambridge is dense with 19th-century brick that was built with lime mortar. We match historic joints instead of forcing hard modern mixes onto old walls.

Housing in Cambridge includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and road salt and plow damage every winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our stone veneer & facades work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. Veneer transforms a plain foundation, column, or chimney. We install over properly flashed and drained wall assemblies so the finish stays tight and the wall behind it stays dry.

Response time in Cambridge: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $38 – $90 per square foot

Do I need a permit for stone veneer & facades in Cambridge?

Minor repairs usually don't need a permit, but rebuilds, new structures, and tall retaining walls often do under the Massachusetts building code. We check with the Cambridge building department and pull permits when required.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Cambridge?

Yes. Ultimate Boston Masonry is licensed, fully insured, and family-owned with 5 years of experience on Greater Boston brick and stone.

Is thin veneer as durable as full stone?

Installed correctly over a drained assembly, yes. The failures you see almost always come from missing flashing or weep screed, not the stone.

Can veneer go over existing brick?

Often yes, if the brick is sound and clearances at grade and windows allow the added thickness.
