Stone Veneer & Facades in Newton, MA
Looking for stone veneer & facades in Newton, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Newton and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Newton patios, retaining walls, and granite entries are our most common project mix, often tied into larger landscape plans.
Housing in Newton includes tight lots with shared driveways and close neighbors, and wind-driven rain from nor'easters 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 Newton: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $38 – $90 per square foot

Are you licensed and insured to work in Newton?
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?

Can veneer go over existing brick?
Often yes, if the brick is sound and clearances at grade and windows allow the added thickness.
