Stone Veneer Installation in Surrey: what to know
Stone veneer installation is high-demand across Surrey's wide range of housing — from updating 1980s and 1990s homes in Fleetwood and Newton to finishing new builds in South Surrey.
Stone veneer installation puts a real stone face on your home's exterior, an accent wall, a column, or a fireplace, without the cost and weight of full solid stone. We install both natural quarried veneer and high-quality manufactured stone, over a proper moisture barrier and lath so it stays put and stays dry. Done right, veneer transforms the look of a house and adds real value. Done wrong, it traps water. We do it right, with the drainage detail behind the stone that most installers skip.

When Surrey homeowners call us for stone veneer installation
You want to update a dated exterior
Stone veneer over the lower facade or entry instantly modernizes a tired-looking home.
A feature wall or fireplace refresh
An interior stone fireplace or accent wall is one of the highest-impact upgrades for the cost.
New build or addition
We work with builders and homeowners to add stone where it makes the biggest visual difference.
Failing existing veneer
If old veneer is cracking, bulging, or letting in water, it was likely installed without a drainage plane. We remove and redo it properly.
Surrey properties: what we see
Surrey is Metro Vancouver's largest city by area, and its masonry landscape reflects that diversity. Cloverdale has the oldest housing stock in Surrey — some of the city's pre-war homes and commercial buildings are there, with original brick and heritage character. South Surrey and White Rock have higher-end residential along the waterfront where natural stone and quality masonry finishes are the standard. Fleetwood, Newton, and Whalley have the broad middle market of post-war and 1980s–2000s construction with chimneys, retaining walls, and stone veneer updates. The scale of the city means we're in Surrey frequently.
We work throughout Surrey — including Cloverdale, South Surrey, Fleetwood, Newton, White Rock — and we know how the terrain, housing stock, and climate vary across the city. Every quote reflects what we actually see on site.
How we do stone veneer installation in Surrey
- 1
Pick the stone
We bring options and help you choose based on your home, the light, and your budget. Natural and manufactured both have their place.
- 2
Prep the wall
We install the moisture barrier, drainage detail, and metal lath. This hidden layer is what keeps the wall dry for decades.
- 3
Set the stone
Stones are laid out for balanced colour and size, then set in mortar with consistent, clean joints.
- 4
Detail the edges
Corners, columns, and openings get finished cleanly so the install looks intentional, not patched together.
- 5
Finish and seal
We point the joints, clean the face, seal where needed, and clear the site.
Why choose Burnaby Masonry for stone veneer installation in Surrey
Drainage done right
The number one veneer failure is trapped water. We build the drainage plane behind the stone that protects your wall.
An eye for layout
Good veneer is about how the stones are chosen and placed. We balance colour and size so it reads as real stone, not a kit.
Natural and manufactured
We install both and give you honest pros and cons so you pick what's right for the wall and the wallet.
Clean edges and corners
The details around windows, corners, and columns are where cheap installs fall apart. That's where we focus.
