Stone Veneer & Facades in Melrose Highlands, Melrose, MA
Looking for stone veneer & facades in Melrose Highlands in Melrose, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Melrose and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Melrose Victorians have tall chimneys and granite steps, both frequent repair candidates.
Housing in Melrose Highlands in Melrose includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil 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 Melrose: Estimates within 48 hours · Typical range $38 – $90 per square foot
