APS installs natural stone, manufactured stone, and brick veneer across Philadelphia, Bucks County, and Montgomery County, on facades, chimneys, foundations, fireplaces, and outdoor living. And because veneer lives or dies on what's behind it, we install it with the moisture detailing that keeps water from getting trapped against your wall. Licensed and insured since 2017 (PA #139378).

It's the most authentic look, holds up for decades, and carries a premium price and more weight. **Manufactured stone veneer** is cast concrete made to mimic stone. It's lighter, cheaper, and comes in more colors and consistent shapes, but it can fade over time and won't read quite as authentic up close. For a high-end facade you'll stand next to, natural is usually worth it; for a larger area or a tighter budget, manufactured does the job. We help you weigh it for your house. ## Why the Install Matters More Than the Stone Most veneer failures aren't the stone, they're the install. Veneer is a facing, not a waterproof layer, so water gets behind it, and if it can't drain and dry, it sits there and rots the wall, rusts the ties, and pushes the veneer off. This is the single most common mistake with manufactured stone: setting it straight onto the wall with no moisture barrier, no weep, and no drainage gap. We install veneer over a proper moisture barrier with drainage and weeps, correct ties, and the right mortar, so water that gets behind it has a way out. That detailing is invisible when it's done right and expensive when it's skipped. ## Where Veneer Works Best - Full or partial exterior facades and accent walls - Chimneys and chimney chases - Foundation water tables and skirts - Entryways, columns, and pillars - Interior feature walls and fireplaces - Outdoor kitchens, islands, and seating walls [Get a Free Quote](https://share.hsforms.com/1T7xZfQk7TLi9YR58LBkZnwcndgu) ![Natural stone veneer wall in Philadelphia](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/hubfs/Masonry%20Fencing%20Boundary%20Walls%20Philadelphia/4.webp) ![Manufactured stone veneer accent wall in Philadelphia](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/hubfs/Custom%20Masonry%20Design%20Philadelphia/Custom%20Masonry%20Design%20Philadelphia.jpeg)   ## What to Expect Working With APS ### Design & Selection We help you pick the veneer, natural or manufactured, stone or brick, and the color and profile that fits the house. ### Substrate & Moisture Prep We prep the wall with the moisture barrier, drainage, and ties the veneer needs to last. ### Installation We set the veneer flat, level, and tight, with consistent joints. ### Point & Finish We point, clean, and finish so it reads as solid masonry. ## Why Philadelphia Homeowners Choose APS We're a local, family-run crew, licensed, and we've installed veneer and masonry across Philadelphia since 2017 out of our shop in Huntingdon Valley. - Licensed and insured, PA #139378 - Home Advisor Top Rated, Screened & Approved - 5.0-star rated on Google - Moisture detailing done right, so veneer doesn't trap water - Free, written estimates with a clear scope Before you call, see the work.

Natural veneer is real stone cut thin, the most authentic look, very durable, heavier, and more expensive. Manufactured veneer is cast concrete made to look like stone, lighter and cheaper with more color options, but it can fade over time and reads less authentic up close. We help you pick the right one for your project. - #### How much does masonry veneer cost in Philadelphia? It depends on the veneer you choose, natural or manufactured, the square footage, and the prep the wall needs. We look at the project and give you a written estimate that matches the actual scope. - #### Is stone veneer as durable as full stone? When it's installed right, veneer lasts for decades. The risk isn't the stone, it's moisture getting trapped behind a veneer that was set without drainage. We install with a moisture barrier and weeps so water can escape, which is what makes it last. - #### Can you veneer over an existing wall, foundation, or chimney? Yes, as long as the surface is sound and prepped correctly. We add the right substrate, moisture barrier, and ties before the veneer goes on, so it bonds and drains the way it should. - #### Does veneer need a footing like a full masonry wall? No, and that's one of its big advantages. Veneer is a facing attached to the wall, not a load-bearing wall, so it doesn't need the footing and excavation a solid stone or brick wall does. That makes it faster and less expensive to install. - #### Can you do interior stone veneer and fireplaces? Yes. We install interior feature walls and stone fireplace surrounds, along with exterior facades and outdoor living.   ### Check Out Our Blog ###### 7 min read #### [2025 Outdoor Living Trends Montgomery County Pennsylvania](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/services/contractor/2025-outdoor-living-trends-montgomery-county-pennsylvania) Alec Serowatka: Oct 22, 2025 Outdoor living in Montgomery County PA has evolved; refined outdoor spaces built for beauty,... ###### 5 min read #### [2025 Farmhouse Restoration Trends in Bucks & Montgomery County](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/services/contractor/2025-farmhouse-restoration-trends-in-bucks-montgomery-county) Alec Serowatka: Oct 13, 2025 Where the legacy of Pennsylvania’s stone farmhouses meets the sophistication of modern living... ###### 8 min read #### [Historic Home Remodeling Costs Philadelphia 2025](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/services/contractor/historic-home-remodeling-costs-philadelphia-2025) Alec Serowatka: Oct 10, 2025 Remodeling your historic Philadelphia home in 2025 just got easier (and cheaper).

Manufactured veneer is cast concrete made to look like stone, lighter and cheaper with more color options, but it can fade over time and reads less authentic up close. We help you pick the right one for your project." }, "name" : "What's the difference between natural and manufactured stone veneer?" }, { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "It depends on the veneer you choose, natural or manufactured, the square footage, and the prep the wall needs.

The risk isn't the stone, it's moisture getting trapped behind a veneer that was set without drainage. We install with a moisture barrier and weeps so water can escape, which is what makes it last." }, "name" : "Is stone veneer as durable as full stone?" }, { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "Yes, as long as the surface is sound and prepped correctly. We add the right substrate, moisture barrier, and ties before the veneer goes on, so it bonds and drains the way it should." }, "name" : "Can you veneer over an existing wall, foundation, or chimney?" }, { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "No, and that's one of its big advantages. Veneer is a facing attached to the wall, not a load-bearing wall, so it doesn't need the footing and excavation a solid stone or brick wall does. That makes it faster and less expensive to install." }, "name" : "Does veneer need a footing like a full masonry wall?" }, { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "Yes.
