Custom stonework

Stone that looks like it belongs.

Good stonework never looks installed. It looks like the house grew around it.

That comes from choosing each stone by hand and setting it where it fits, not where it lands.

We build stone facades, columns, fireplaces, entry steps, seat walls and garden borders.

We work in natural stone, flagstone, slate, limestone and manufactured stone veneer.

Every wall starts with what you cannot see: a sound base, ties, flashing and a plan for water.

Then the face goes up course by course, with joints kept tight and the color mixed across the wall.

We work for homeowners, and for builders and designers who need stonework done to a drawing.

New construction or an older home in Raleigh, the stone should suit the house it sits on.

Call (919) 625-3963 and we will come look at the spot, talk stone, and write up a free estimate.

How it works

From the first call to the clean-up.

  1. 01

    You call or write

    Tell us what you have in mind, or send a photo of the wall, porch or room.

  2. 02

    We walk the site

    We look at the structure behind the stone, the drainage and how the light hits it.

  3. 03

    Stone and a plan

    You see stone options and get a written, itemized estimate. It costs you nothing.

  4. 04

    We build and clean up

    Our masons set the stone, tool the joints and leave the site swept.

Around the Triangle

Stonework built for Raleigh weather.

Central North Carolina gives stone a workout: hot summers, hard rain and the odd winter freeze.

Water is what ruins stonework, so we flash it, weep it and keep it off the wood behind it.

Older brick homes inside the Beltline often want stone that matches what is already there.

Newer homes in Cary, Apex and Wake Forest often want a fresh stone front or a fireplace that anchors the room.

Either way, we match the stone, the joint and the scale to the house.

Questions

Custom Stonework questions.

Something else on your mind? Call (919) 625-3963 and ask.

Natural stone or manufactured stone veneer?

Both work. Natural stone is heavier and fully unique.

Manufactured veneer is lighter and suits more walls. We show you both at the estimate.

Can you add stone to my existing house?

Usually, yes. We check what the wall is built from first.

Then we plan the ties, the flashing and the ledge the stone sits on.

Do you build stone fireplaces indoors?

Yes. We build stone faces and hearths for indoor fireplaces as well as full outdoor fireplaces.
