How We Work

A clear, methodical process from assessment through final inspection.

Site Assessment

We inspect your surface, check wall structure, and confirm substrate conditions. This ensures your veneer bonds properly and resists moisture.

Surface Prep

We clean, scrape, and prepare the surface to meet industry standards. Metal lath and scratch coat are installed where needed for non-masonry substrates.

Moisture Management

Water-resistant barriers and flashings are installed to guide moisture away. Weep holes prevent water from pooling inside the wall cavity.

Installation

Brick and stone are set with quality mortar in consistent 3/8-inch joints. Each piece is properly back-buttered and aligned to match your design.

Finishing & Inspection

Mortar joints are tooled, excess is cleaned, and the wall is inspected for quality, drainage, and structural integrity before we wrap up.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Why It Matters

Proper masonry veneer installation is an investment in longevity and protection.

Protection Against Utah's Climate

Utah's dry winters and seasonal temperature swings create freeze-thaw challenges. Poor installation leaves brick and stone vulnerable to cracking and water damage. Quality veneer installation with proper flashing, drainage, and Grade SW materials keeps moisture out and your home protected for decades.

Most masonry problems trace to installation mistakes, not material failure. Right-from-the-start craftsmanship prevents costly repairs later.

Long-Term Curb Appeal & Value

What Are the Most Common Mistakes in Brick Veneer Installation?

The most common mistakes are poor moisture management, inadequate flashing, blocked weep holes, and debris left in the cavity. These errors let water penetrate behind the veneer and damage the backup structure. Skilled installation with proper flashing at every transition and a clean air gap prevents these costly problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about brick and stone veneer installation in Ogden.

How long does brick and stone veneer last?

When properly installed with quality materials, brick and stone veneer lasts 50+ years and often much longer, with minimal maintenance needed beyond occasional cleaning.

Can I install stone veneer over existing brick?

Yes, stone veneer can be installed over properly prepared brick with metal lath and a scratch coat to ensure strong adhesion and proper moisture management.

Do I need to seal brick or stone veneer?

No, quality brick and stone veneer should not require sealing if installed correctly. A protective coating is optional and may help with cleaning, but the material itself is durable without it.

What is Grade SW brick and why does it matter in Ogden?

Grade SW (severe weathering) brick resists damage from freeze-thaw cycles, which are common in Utah winters. It's essential for durability in Ogden's climate and required by most building codes.

How does water management work in brick veneer walls?

Water that penetrates the brick runs down behind the veneer, across the air gap, and exits through weep holes at the base. Flashing and a clean cavity guide water safely out, preventing buildup and damage.

What should I expect from a professional masonry inspection?

A professional inspection checks substrate condition, verifies proper flashing installation, confirms weep holes are clear, and evaluates wall structure and moisture management before work begins.
