Stone veneer installation in Dallas by Champion Brick Repair — natural and manufactured stone set by masons, anchored and flashed right, and matched to the brick and mortar already on your home. Call (254) 723-5040 for a free estimate.
Drive through Lakewood, Lake Highlands, or the M Streets and you will see it on house after house — stone veneer that looked rich the year it went up and is now bulging, cracking at the corners, or coming off the wall in sheets. Stone veneer installation in Dallas is not a tile job and it is not a siding job. Veneer is a masonry system: stone, mortar, a scratch coat, metal lath, flashing, and a drainage path, all working together against Texas weather. When any one layer is skipped — and on production homes several usually are — water gets behind the stone, rusts the lath and ties, swells, freezes, and pushes the face off the wall a little more every season.
Champion Brick Repair installs and replaces stone veneer across Dallas, from the older brick-and-stone homes around White Rock Lake and Swiss Avenue to the newer builds in Preston Hollow, North Dallas along the Dallas North Tollway, and Oak Cliff. Because we are masons first, we treat veneer the way we treat brick: the match matters, the mortar matters, and what you cannot see behind the stone matters most of all. Every installation is backed for life.
A proper installation starts before the first stone is cut. We prepare the wall with a weather-resistant barrier and correctly lapped flashing at every transition — roof lines, window and door heads, and the base of the wall — because those are the exact spots Dallas veneer fails first. Metal lath is fastened to structure, not just to sheathing, and the scratch coat is scored so the setting bed keys in. Stones are laid with consistent joints, full mortar contact on the back of each unit, and weep paths at the base so any water that does get in has a way out instead of a place to sit. Corners are built with corner units or properly mitered and bonded returns, never butt joints stuffed with caulk.
Most of our Dallas stone veneer calls are not new construction. They are sections that have let go: a gable face bowing out, stone around a garage door cracked in a stair-step pattern, or a wainscot line where you can pull stones off by hand. We take the failed section down to sound substrate, find and fix the water path that caused it — missing head flashing and sealed-shut weeps are the usual culprits — and rebuild. Matching is the hard part, and it is where our MortarMagic custom mortar matching earns its keep: we blend color, sand, and texture so the rebuilt section reads as one wall with the stone that stayed, not as a patch with a different-colored frame around it.
Full front elevations and gables, wainscot bands, entry surrounds and columns, mailbox structures, retaining walls, chimney chases, and outdoor living work — see our outdoor fireplace repair in Dallas page for fireplaces and kitchens. Manufactured stone is lighter and consistent; natural thin stone carries real variation in color and edge. We will tell you straight which fits your house, your existing brick, and your budget, and we will show you the mortar joint style — raked, flush, or overgrout — on a sample area before the wall is committed, because the joint is half of what your eye reads as the finished look.
Stones that move when you press them. Long horizontal cracks at floor lines. Rust stains bleeding from behind the stone. Mortar joints opened up or caulk smeared over gaps that keep reopening. Stone faces on the ground after a freeze. Any of those means water is already behind the wall, and the repair only gets bigger while it waits. Send photos to (254) 723-5040 — estimates are free, and we will tell you whether you need a section rebuilt or the whole elevation redone.
Send photos and the address. We confirm the cause and the scope in person, match stone and mortar before demo day, protect landscaping and existing brick, tear out only what has failed, rebuild the system layers in order, and document the work. The finished wall is washed down, joints tooled consistently, and the job is backed by our lifetime warranty. For stone veneer installation in Dallas that is built as masonry — not glued on as decoration — call Champion Brick Repair at (254) 723-5040.
