Stone Veneer & Facades in McIntire District, Salem, MA

Looking for stone veneer & facades in McIntire District in Salem, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Salem and the rest of Essex County from our Boston base. Salem has some of the oldest masonry in the country. Historic lime mortar and correct joint profiles are non-negotiable here.

Housing in McIntire District in Salem includes granite stoops, brick chimneys, and stone garden walls, 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.

Is thin veneer as durable as full stone?
