Stone & Brick Veneer Contractors in St. Louis, MO
St. Louis Stone & Brick installs natural stone veneer, manufactured stone and thin brick on home exteriors, entryways, fireplaces, columns and accent walls across St. Louis County and St. Charles County. Veneer gives you real masonry on the outside of the house without the footings and weight of full-thickness stone — when it is installed by masons who flash and lath it correctly.
Family-owned since 2002 and run by third-generation stonemasons, we also repair veneer and stone siding that was installed wrong the first time.

Exterior Stone & Brick Veneer Siding
The biggest change you can make to a home's curb appeal is its exterior skin. We install veneer as full facades, as a stone base course under existing siding, around entries and garages, and on chimneys and porch columns — the details that make a Chesterfield or St. Charles new build look established, and a Kirkwood or Webster Groves remodel look original.
- Full-facade stone or brick veneer siding
- Wainscot / base-course stone under lap siding
- Entryways, garage fronts, gables and dormers
- Chimneys, porch pillars and entrance columns
- Replacing vinyl or damaged siding with stone or brick veneer
Brick veneer gives the uniform, classic St. Louis brick look; stone veneer — ledgestone, stacked stone, fieldstone, limestone — reads more natural and rustic. Both are fire-, pest- and moisture-resistant and add thermal mass to the wall.
Interior Veneer: Fireplaces, Accent Walls & Kitchens
Indoors, veneer turns a plain wall into the focal point of the room. We install stone and thin-brick veneer on fireplace walls and surrounds, kitchen backsplashes and range hoods, basement and living-room accent walls, and
outdoor kitchen and bar surrounds. See our
stone fireplace page for full fireplace refaces.

How We Install Veneer So It Lasts
- Inspect and prepare the substrate; remove vinyl or failed siding
- Weather-resistive barrier and flashing at every window, door and roofline transition
- Metal lath and scratch coat on exterior walls; moisture-resistant backer on fireplaces and interior walls
- Set each piece level and tight at corners, returns and transitions; grouted or dry-stack joints as designed
- Clean, seal where the material calls for it, and walk the job with you
Almost every failed veneer we are called to repair is missing the barrier or the flashing. It is the step you never see and the one that decides whether the wall is dry in 20 years.
Veneer & Stone Siding Repair
Loose stones, cracked or discolored sections, water staining, joints that have opened — we repoint, replace damaged pieces, correct flashing and drainage behind the veneer and match the existing texture and color so the repair disappears.

Stone & Brick Veneer FAQs
How much does stone veneer installation cost in St. Louis?
Manufactured stone veneer runs about $18–$28 per square foot installed, natural stone veneer $25–$35, thin brick $20–$30, and full-thickness natural stone siding $25+ — plus more for corners, arches and custom cuts. We quote after measuring on site.
Is stone veneer siding cheaper than real stone or full brick?
Yes. Veneer is a thin layer set over the existing wall, so there is no footing, ledge or structural work. You get the same look at a fraction of the weight and cost of full-bed stone or solid brick.
How long does stone veneer last?
Properly installed exterior veneer lasts 25–75 years. The failures we repair are almost always missing weather barrier or flashing — not the stone.
Do you repair loose or damaged stone or brick veneer?
Yes — we repoint joints, replace cracked or loose pieces, fix flashing and drainage behind the veneer and match existing textures and colors.
