Questions
What is natural stone veneer?
Natural stone veneer is real stone cut with a flat back, roughly an inch thick, and adhered to a wall with mortar. It gives the look of a solid stone wall without the weight of full depth stone.
Is natural stone veneer better than manufactured stone?
They're different products. Natural veneer is real stone with color all the way through. Manufactured stone is cast concrete colored to look like stone. Jones Legacy works in natural stone.
Where can stone veneer go on a house?
Foundations, columns and porch posts, and fireplace surrounds. Each spot needs the right backing and water details.
Does stone veneer hold up to New Hampshire winters?
Yes, when it's installed with proper water management: a lapped water barrier, flashing, a cap at the top edge, and the first course kept up off the soil. Trapped water that freezes is what causes failures.
Can stone veneer go over painted concrete?
Not directly. The paint has to come off down to bare concrete, or the wall gets metal lath and a scratch coat, so the mortar can bond.
Do you build fieldstone walls?
Yes. Jones Legacy builds New Hampshire fieldstone walls, dry laid and mortared, along property lines, around gardens and across yards.
Do you do walkways, steps and patios?
Yes. Flagstone walkways, stone steps and stone patios are part of the work, along with custom stone projects.
Does Jones Legacy do painting?
Yes. The company does interior and exterior painting, with the prep done before any paint goes on.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. The work runs from small improvements to larger projects. Text a photo and a few words about it.
What towns does Jones Legacy work in?
Ossipee, Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro, Moultonborough, Tamworth, Effingham, Freedom, Wakefield, Madison, Sandwich, Center Harbor, Brookfield, Alton, Meredith, Conway, Gilford, Holderness, Laconia, Jackson and Bartlett.
Where is Jones Legacy based?
Ossipee, New Hampshire, in Carroll County, between Lake Winnipesaukee and the Mount Washington Valley.
How much does stone veneer cost?
It depends on the stone, the square footage, the number of corners, how high the work goes and how much prep the wall needs. The quickest way to a real number is to text Kevin photos of the spot.
How do I get a price?
Call or text Kevin at (603) 581-5350. Send a few photos, your town and a rough size, and he'll go from there.
