Our Process, Step by Step
Great masonry is as much about preparation as placement. Our approach keeps you informed and involved at every stage:
- Consultation and design — we discuss your vision, material preferences, and how the feature fits your home and site
- Assessment and layout — we evaluate the substrate, drainage, and structural needs
- Permitting — we coordinate applicable City of Spokane and Spokane County permits and inspections
- Preparation — footings, moisture barriers, and proper support are set before a single stone goes up
- Installation — careful setting, tooling, and finishing for clean, consistent joints
- Final walkthrough — we review the finished work with you and clean the site
Materials and Options
We work in both natural stone, prized for its depth and one-of-a-kind character, and manufactured stone veneer, which offers a lighter, budget-friendly way to achieve a similar look. For brick and block, we help you weigh color, texture, bond patterns, and mortar tones so the finished feature complements your home’s style. Every option is selected with durability in mind, because the right material choice matters as much as the craftsmanship behind it.
Built for the Spokane Climate
Inland Northwest winters test masonry in ways milder regions never see. Repeated freeze–thaw cycles, heavy snow, and moisture can erode work that was rushed or poorly detailed. We build with that reality in mind — proper drainage, appropriate mortar, weather-resistant flashing at chimneys, and sound preparation that resists cracking and spalling. The result is stonework that keeps its beauty and integrity season after season.

In many cases, yes. Stone veneer is a popular way to refresh an exterior, entryway, or accent wall on an existing home. We assess the existing wall, substrate, and moisture management first to confirm the surface is ready, then install the veneer with proper preparation so it performs well and looks seamless with your home’s style.

It depends on the scope. Structural work, chimneys, and certain fireplaces often require permits and inspections through the City of Spokane or Spokane County, while smaller decorative features may not. As a licensed general contractor, we help determine what applies to your project and coordinate the necessary permitting so the work is done correctly and to code.
Spokane’s cold, snowy winters bring repeated freeze–thaw cycles that can damage masonry if moisture gets trapped or the work is poorly prepared. We address this with proper drainage, appropriate mortar, weather-resistant flashing, and sound substrate preparation. These details help resist cracking and spalling so your stonework stays strong and attractive for the long term.
Absolutely. Outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and stone gathering features are popular ways to extend the enjoyment of a patio or backyard in the Inland Northwest.

Natural stone is quarried rock, prized for its depth, weight, and one-of-a-kind character. Manufactured stone veneer is a molded, lighter-weight product designed to mimic natural stone. Both can look beautiful when installed correctly. We help you compare the options based on your design goals, budget, and where the feature will be used.
