At BuildRite, we specialize in high-quality masonry and exterior wall solutions. Our recent project in Hillsborough highlights our expertise in exterior fireplace wall repair and stone veneer installation, addressing both structural integrity and visual appeal.
The homeowner reached out to us to resolve serious water infiltration issues and structural damage in their outdoor fireplace wall. Left untreated, these issues can lead to costly repairs and ongoing energy loss.
Our team began by removing the existing stone veneer, damaged OSB substrate, and deteriorated 2×4 framing. All compromised materials were safely disposed of before rebuilding the wall from the ground up with pressure-treated lumber for long-lasting strength.
To protect the structure from future damage, we installed a full waterproofing system—including flashing, moisture barriers, and galvanized wire mesh. We also replaced all damaged R15 insulation, restoring thermal protection and energy efficiency.
A key part of the repair involved fixing a poorly executed 4-inch line cut in the wood siding. Our team removed the compromised section and installed new flashing to permanently prevent water infiltration, ensuring the fireplace wall remains protected for years to come.
To complete the project, we supplied and installed a stunning split-face silver travertine veneer. This premium finish not only elevates the aesthetic of the fireplace wall but also adds durability and weather resistance.
