Your home deserves more than faded stucco. We install real and manufactured stone veneer on exteriors, fireplaces, and accent walls - built to handle Sacramento summers and wet winters.
Stone veneer installation in Citrus Heights involves applying a thin layer of real or manufactured stone to an existing wall surface, most jobs take two to five days for a single wall or fireplace surround and one to two weeks for larger exterior projects.
Many Citrus Heights homeowners turn to stone veneer when their original stucco exterior starts looking dated against updated homes on the street. The service covers everything from a single front-facing accent wall to a full exterior wrap, interior fireplace surrounds, porch columns, and garden walls. If you are also thinking about improving your yard, our concrete block walls service pairs well with exterior stone veneer for a cohesive finished look.
The biggest factor in a lasting result is what happens before the first stone goes up - proper surface preparation, a quality moisture barrier, and the right mortar for our climate. We cover all of that in every job we do.
If your home still has its original plain stucco from the 1960s or 1970s, it may look noticeably older than updated homes nearby. That flat, uniform exterior is a clear signal this upgrade could make a real difference. Stone veneer on even a single front-facing wall gives the home a finished, distinctive look.
Citrus Heights clay soils shift slightly with the seasons as they absorb and release moisture. Over time, that movement can cause hairline cracks in exterior wall surfaces or, if you already have older stone or brick veneer, gaps where the material has pulled away from the wall. Small cracks let water in, and water damage is far more expensive to fix than the original crack.
Efflorescence - that white, chalky buildup on masonry - appears when water moves through the material and deposits minerals on the surface. If you see white streaks after Citrus Heights' winter rains, water is getting into your wall system. This is a reason to make sure any new stone veneer installation includes a proper moisture barrier.
Stone veneer is not just for exteriors. If your fireplace has an old brick surround that is chipping, discolored, or out of style, stone veneer can transform it in a matter of days. The same applies to an interior feature wall in a living room or entryway that feels bare or unfinished.
We install both real natural stone veneer and manufactured stone veneer, and we help you choose the right material for your budget, design goals, and wall type. Natural stone is one of a kind and can last the life of the home. Manufactured stone is more affordable, comes in consistent sizes, and is a popular choice for homeowners who want a clean, uniform look. For interior applications like fireplace surrounds and feature walls, we also offer stone masonry work that goes beyond veneer to full custom stonework.
Every project starts with surface prep - cleaning, repairing, and applying a moisture barrier to the wall before any stone is set. We handle Sacramento County permit applications when the project scope requires one, and we help homeowners in HOA communities prepare the documentation their architectural review committee needs. The masonry restoration team can also address any existing damage to stucco or brick before new veneer goes up.
Best for homeowners who want to modernize their home's street-facing appearance without a full renovation.

Suits homes where a single feature - an entry column, porch pillar, or interior wall - needs a high-impact upgrade.
Perfect for homeowners who want their outdoor hardscaping to match the stone texture of their home exterior.
A large share of homes in Citrus Heights were built during the suburban boom of the 1960s and 1970s, which means many still have their original plain stucco exteriors. Those homes can look noticeably dated compared to updated neighbors, and stone veneer is one of the most effective ways to change that. The Sacramento Valley climate adds another layer to consider - hot summers that can exceed 100 degrees followed by wet winters means any exterior material needs to be installed with the right moisture protection and mortar products for this specific region. Homeowners in Orangevale and Folsom face the same climate conditions and frequently call us for exterior stone veneer projects.
Citrus Heights also sits on expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. That seasonal movement puts stress on the bond between stone veneer and the wall surface over time. We use flexible mortar and grout products specifically designed for this kind of movement, and the Masonry Veneer Manufacturers Association installation standards we follow are built around these real-world conditions. For homeowners in HOA communities - common in the neighborhoods developed in the 1970s and 1980s - we check your rules before we start and help you get written approval before any work begins.
We reply within one business day. During the call we ask a few basic questions - where the veneer is going, how large the area is, and whether you have a style in mind - so the site visit is focused and efficient.
We come to you, look closely at the wall surface, and check for moisture damage, structural soundness, and whether the surface needs prep work. This is also when you can review material samples and get a written quote with no obligation.
If your project needs a Sacramento County permit or HOA architectural review, we handle the application on your behalf. HOA review can take a few weeks, so we start this process early and keep you updated so there are no surprises.
We clean the wall, make repairs, and install the moisture barrier before a single stone goes up. Then we apply stones section by section from the bottom up, cutting pieces to fit around corners and edges. Most jobs take two to five days.
