Masonry in Ada: What We See Locally

Ada sits where the Thornapple River meets the Grand River, and the village — known for its historic covered bridge — is surrounded by wooded, large-lot residential neighborhoods. Much of the housing stock is newer custom construction that leans heavily on natural stone and manufactured stone veneer: entry facades, chimney chases, outdoor fireplaces, and patio living spaces built into rolling, tree-covered lots.

That building style creates a specific set of masonry needs. Stone veneer over wood-framed walls depends entirely on the moisture management behind it — weep screeds, flashing, and drainage planes — and problems show up as staining, loose stones, or damp interior walls years after installation. Riverside and low-lying lots add ground moisture that works on patios, retaining walls, and foundations. The work here is less about historic repointing and more about veneer installation done correctly, outdoor masonry that survives shaded, damp freeze-thaw conditions, and repairs where earlier installs cut corners on flashing and drainage.
