Stone veneer in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Stone veneer is a thin layer of natural or manufactured stone applied to an exterior or interior wall. In Metro Detroit it is popular on front elevations, exposed foundation walls, columns, fireplaces and outdoor kitchens.
On exteriors, the details behind the stone matter most. Adhered veneer goes over a water-resistive barrier, metal lath and scratch coat, with a weep screed at the bottom so water can drain out. Skipping these steps can trap water behind the stone and rot sheathing, a problem that often stays hidden for years. Over block or poured walls, the mason prepares the masonry surface instead. For full-depth brick, see brick laying.
What a proper job includes
- Review of the wall, what it is made of and how it drains
- Water-resistive barrier and flashing on framed walls
- Metal lath and a scratch coat, or prep of masonry surfaces
- Weep screed or drainage at the base
- Stone set with mortar and joints finished to the chosen look
- Trim, sills and caps around openings
- Cleanup and protection of nearby surfaces
What drives the price
- Wall area and height
- Natural stone versus manufactured stone, and style
- Corners, openings and trim pieces
- Wall prep needed on framed or masonry walls
- Scaffolding or lift access
- Removal of old siding or veneer

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Adding stone veneer to an exterior wall can require a building permit from the local building department (BSEED in Detroit), especially when it changes the wall assembly. Interior fireplace surrounds may involve clearance rules. Confirm with the local building department.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Look for a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Masonry, or a Residential Builder license, and check the number on the LARA lookup.
