Transform Your Home with Exquisite Veneer Stonework
A&A Masonry specializes in premium veneer stone installation, enhancing both interior and exterior spaces. With unmatched craftsmanship, we turn ordinary walls into stunning stone features.
Stone veneer is a decorative, lightweight covering that mimics natural stone, typically made from either real stone or manufactured materials like concrete. It provides the aesthetic appeal of natural stone without the weight and installation complexity associated with full-thickness stone. Stone veneer is commonly used for feature walls inside homes, particularly around fireplaces, as well as on exterior walls and pillars, significantly enhancing curb appeal.
The two most prevalent types of stone veneers are natural stone veneer and synthetic cultured stone veneer.
Stone veneer enhances property aesthetics and value, providing a practical and versatile alternative to traditional stone construction. It remains highly popular due to its ease of installation, durability, and versatile design capabilities.
Cost-Effective: Offers the appearance of natural stone at a significantly reduced cost.
Lightweight: Easier handling and installation compared to full-thickness stone.
Durability: Resistant to weather conditions, ensuring longevity.
Low Maintenance: Minimal upkeep required, maintaining its appearance over many years.
Versatile Design: Available in various colors, textures, and shapes, ideal for diverse architectural styles.
Stone veneer is versatile and ideal for numerous applications, including:
Stone Cladding: Generally refers to thicker stone materials used for protective or decorative purposes on exterior and interior surfaces.
Stone Siding: Typically describes thinner stone panels designed explicitly for residential exteriors, installed similarly to traditional siding.
Stone Veneer: Usually denotes thinner, lighter stones or manufactured materials primarily for decorative rather than structural purposes.
Price: Cultured stone may appear initially less expensive, but natural stone veneer often proves more cost-effective over time due to its longevity.
Installation: Cultured stone veneer is lighter and easier to install on various surfaces, while natural stone veneer requires stronger substrates such as concrete or brick.
Visual Appeal: Natural stone provides authentic textures and unique patterns, whereas cultured stone offers a wider range of manufactured colors and styles, though colors may fade over time.
Weight and Size: Natural stone is heavier and varies significantly in size, while cultured stone is lighter and more consistent in thickness.
Longevity: Natural stone veneer maintains its appearance and durability longer than cultured stone, which may require more frequent maintenance or replacement.

We are thrilled with A & A Masonry's EXCELLENT work. Had a 2 storey fireplace covered with natural stone veneer. Juber and his crew did an amazing job! They had to remove drywall, replace it with concrete board, set up scaffolding, and apply the veneer and not a bit of damage to the surrounding walls, floor or furniture occurred. Every last trace of the job both inside and outside our home was cleaned up before they left the site each day. The team was very friendly and respectful while in our home. The craftmanship in the stone work is impeccable. Couldn't be happier!

Worn concrete on porch and steps, bricks cracking, splitting/flaking, needed repairs. We requested flagstone on porch and steps, and wall cladding with natural stone veneer. Paul advised on and helped us viewing, then Paul and Dwight selected the materials. The skillful craftsmanship of Dwight resulted in showing the beauty of natural stone. A&A Masonry delivered as promised, has done a great job creating added value and “curb appeal“ to our home. Thank you sincerely! Highly recommended by Frank and Jan in Woodbridge.

Spoke with Pierre regarding rebuilding our crumbling chimney. When he came over we discussed a solution for our front steps and broken concrete pad. Pierre had some good ideas for the steps and came back with a very reasonable price. Joe and James knocked our chimney down and rebuilt it better than new in less than a day, returning the next to install flashing and do a final caulk. Dwight and Aaron came the next day and did an OUTSTANDING job. They tore out and repoured the concrete pad, and clad the porch, steps, and new concrete pad in flagstone. They did what seemed like a week's work in under 3 days and they were unfailingly polite and professional. We were really impressed with the whole A & A team, especially Dwight and Aaron, and we are very happy with the work done. Thanks A & A!! Joe and Merren
