The Best Stone Siding! Versetta Stone!

Today we start installing the best stone siding we have used to date. Versetta stone has been a favorite of ours for a long time. It is a great way to break up the siding on your home, and in my opinion, by far the most real looking and best faux stone siding on the market

I love hearing your thoughts about how you solve challenges coming along the way! The more I see you installing this product, the more I want to try it on my own home.

[@alflud]

Guys ... it's _great_ having the cameraman. Some of those shots while the two of you are working away are priceless - well worth the wage. So sweet - great documentation.

[@mcchupka9718]

Agreed. Couldn’t be done with a static setup like the camera on a tripod. Thank you for the quality vids.

Great channel Kyle. I was introduced to it by a friend a couple of months ago and I've been binge watching all your playlists. Keep'em coming, because I'm gonna run out soon. And yes, I would love to see the garage door installs and gutters.

[@calmdownsleepytime]

Thumbs up for the Versetta Stone. Love this product. I did my garage and fireplace with this stuff. Super easy to work with!

[@SMITTY19722]

From seeing you guys excavate the land to where you’re at now looks truly amazing. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Great job you guys.

[@mh-tn3ic]

I have hauled alot of Versetta in my truck driving career for a major building material wholesaler but never watched it installed. Thanks for the lesson

Outside inground faucet that is frost or freeze proof in WA and OR we call it a frost free hydrant. Has to be set below the freezing line underground and the hydrant drains empty when the water is shut off. They are great!

[@Platoface]

NW AR checking in. Great video as always guys. Warm weather ahead.

[@PaulMikna]

Love your channel! Your video person does an excellent job!

[@alece9697]

I'm always surprised Versetta doesn't have a corner pre cast available. Seems like a big oversight in their catalog... Would love to see and hear more about the gutter install and the big garage doors coming up. I grew up with Iowa hydrants as well (actually in Iowa) but I like hydrants on the building for the utility. I put them around the corner on both sides from the front about 3 feet up (none of this bending over nonsense and kinked hoses because they're too close to the ground.)

[@app-o-matix]

No precast corner(s) is astounding to me as well. If Versetta has been working with them for 8 years, you would think this would have been solved long ago.

[@robavis4906]

lookin good fellas. Nice work

[@BuckMasterNorm]

Spray the weather shield the same colour at the stone where they’re abutted together just in case you can see the blue colour

[@ramadanshakir3958]

I worked in the Chester SC plant and ran the Versetta line 2nd shift. Because of the housing market we had to shut the plant down. 😢 But its a very good product.

[@SheppardsinthefieldsBethlehem]

My concern would be water infiltration between those gaps. I know there should be a gap between the wall and stone to allow any water to drain off. That green exterior wall product has no problems with water infiltration or water absorbtion ?

[@jwristen24]

They need to make an outside corner trim piece somehow. That's my only hangup on the product. Plan to use the black on a build coming up so thanks for that. Wanted to see how it looks. I like it

[@ajfenske8168]

Love the "bro" usage.

[@Overpar73]

Looking fantastic as always guys! I wish I would of went with that stone but it was backordered and I went with Gemstone, which is actually just closed cell foam made to look like stone, it's super easy to cut and install, I'm just worried how it will look after the summer heat gets to it, will have to see at the end of the summer. The guys finished up the install of my ceiling and I've been busy installing the lights and fans. I'm hoping they will install the wall tin next Tuesday, since it's supposed to storm again. Take care and don't work too hard guys!

[@superdplum]

I also used genstone about 5-6 years ago. My outside corner pieces have faded considerably which now makes it look even more fake.

[@ryanm5054]

Frost-free hydrant is the term, Kyle. And Iowa is the best brand I've found.

Looking great. Thanks for sharing. And I would really like to see the gutter installation as well as the garage doors. If the workers are ok with being filmed please put them on.

Damn Greg you are killing it buddy!! Kyle’s aight I guess….😂

[@rsbracer]

Nice job

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Versetta Stone should make corners, with asymmetric lengths, in a random pattern. Those would eliminate the raw edge issue ... which I find detracts significantly from the overall aesthetic.

[@kevintager]

Kyle, Love watching you and Greg work. You guys are a well oiled machine and really seem to love what you do. I'm a big fan of Versetta or Evolve Stone and plan on using it on my new house I'm designing now. I know Versetta Stone has the built in water/air channel behind it, but it seems like way too small a gap. Was curious about your reasons for not using a true rainscreen, like slicker max, behind the stone. I've been told that having a min 1/4" behind the cladding, is important to get the proper air flow to dry out any water that gets behind. Some building scientists encourage 3/4" for best results.

[@B2GOG]

Absolutely love the way that stuff looks! ❤ I was wondering if you can use it with brick walls?

[@chriswise4772]

Is Kyle the real mastermind behind the buildings or Greg? Starting to realize the real genius. 😊

[@Hangovna]

Could always do 5/4 LP trim for corners and stone up to them, would look clean. I also like the look of stone on the sides and above the access door (or front door on a house), makes it look more grand.

[@joesilvasr9733]

You could run a quick temp gutter next time. Just to protect that specific area.

[@Mykelthompson]

im a former gutter guy i would like see the installation. how far out does the drip edge sit from fascia board . thanks KYLE really appreciate your attention to detail.

[@user-vn6hi2bi3g]

Very nice accent for your shop, looks great, pricey touch for most prehaps, but I like it a lot. Ray

[@totallynottrademarked5279]

Hey Kyle, I would recommend regular cancer screenings. Iowa is in the top states for cases due to all the contaminated ground water from the feed lots and over use of nitrogen.

[@billwestphal1421]

Kyle can you explain the sizes and why.. Also the down spout sizing. I've asked a few pros and get the "this is what we always done" as the reason. Plse and thnx

[@jordanrogers4046]

As a gc and 20 year carpenter I know a lot of builders love versetta, check out affinity stone, way faster install and imo a better product. Also check out diamond kote 5d building wrap

[@22kmclaren]

Looking great as always! For your corners, I wonder if you could cope or relieve the back of the overlapping piece. I’m thinking of those diamond blades that chuck into a grinder for cutting tile, but there could be a better tool. Like you said at 45:05 it will probably take more time and be messier, but it may yield a better product that is worth it. If you already have the tools, it’s at least worth hacking away at scrap pieces to go through the motions and test.

[@adammiller8415]

Do you like the dewalt roofing nailer? Is it prone to jamming?

[@thim8009]

In our area, we need 2 vapor barriers behind masonry. That stuff looks like it has something on the back?

[@ZombiePanda1776]

"It's my pole and I'll touch it if I want". 🤣🤣🤣

[@indman101]

How does water drain behind this stone siding? I know with overhang roof its not a big issue but still should have rainscreen behind most of it if your going to spray it down in time.

[@OleGramps53]

Which style of gutter mount is being used for the building?

[@abskillz5072]

The word you keep looking for is BM bench mark. They’re usually found throughout the job site. So you have your reference point

[@markohnemus5159]

I’m curious of what brand tool belt you guys are using. I can’t duplicate them on the web sites Thank you

[@SapBellySoul]

Would cedar breather or a similar rain screen product work behind this cladding material?

[@DUBJM01]

27:32 is it the Paslode gas coil nailer? We already got them here in Australia

[@user-mz5rq6jm9l]

i would paint it black the ends of the stones by the doors and the corners its easy to do

[@rubymc2027]

As a mason of 45 years this is what we call "lick 'em and stick 'em" . I'll bet HUGE amounts of money (if I had it) that it won't be on the wall 50 years from now. "Do it fast, do it cheap, we don't care what it looks like or how long it lasts" (after all, as a builder my liability only last 1 year)

[@robertgriswell6066]

I’m very much looking forward to your gutter installation, Kyle ! Also, is there any possibility of you guys being able to come to Georgia to build a combination shop and garage for me ? Please consider doing this as a chance to grow your popularity and see the area near the home of the Master’s golf tournament, Augusta, and Evans, Georgia !

[@tomgreen5788]

I would love to see the doors go in as I know what they are like to do in the UK

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff Kyle, the stone's looking really good! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 ... If you happen to end up with a bunch of Versetta that sit a little too high, have you ever tried hitting the bottom tongue with a a grinder to knock it down a bit? .... Being that you have various brands of cordless power tools, for the rare occasion that you end up on the porch wanting to charge your phone, I know that at least DeWalt and Milwaukee (probably other brands as well) make adapters/chargers for their battery packs so you can charge your phone, laptop, or other devices, so if you don't already have some of those hanging around in the shop, you might want to consider picking up at least one or two, could come in handy in a pinch, or in an emergency, just sayin', I'm not trying to sell you on it or anything, I myself have the DCB094K USB Charging Kit from DeWalt, and it pretty much just sits in the the tool bag with my drill and impact driver, but it's there if I ever need it.

[@user-od7uo2wh4u]

I would think nailing on stud would also help and some sort of weather barrier between joints?

[@Andrew_K-81]

Looks good but why you didn't ordered outer corners for perfect finish like you done before all yours projects? I am watching all yours videos and how you grow in our eyes. Thank you for all videos.

[@Unknown-ji1vb]

I saw what looked like a Paslode coil nailer in the background. Could that be the new nailer they are coming out with?

[@johnlyn1]

Best color I've seen. Is that a newer color they came out with?

[@levaisandoralex6829]

I love the way it looks, great job. Is it real stone made of? Is watter goes in between stones, behind stone? How is that works? I'm just quires

[@Leviathan609]

Im curious to see how you're going to handle the drainage for that massive roof.

[@MrTooTechnical]

Great work. Would you put tar paper behind that at all??

[@nineteen70six]

Can this go below grade if covered with gravel at grade and not soil?

[@ZylonFPV]

With the gutters, I really hope that you’ll pipe the water away from the building with schedule 40 PVC! Don’t use any corrugated pipe because it blocks easily, gets crushed easily and is really hard to lay flat with enough fall. Make sure you have a decent number of down spouts too. I’m interested in where you’re gonna run the water.

[@joeyl5994]

I'd be gutted if you didn't show the gutter process. Great stuff Kyle and Greg!

[@cuue]

Kyle, why dont you apply a tape strip all the way around the building at each nailing level before installing the stone?(or even better - a single strip of vapor dry like you did on the roof) To the best of my knowledge, the LP smart side, is not self healing but the tape is - Water can and will get behind that versetta stone, and run down the wall, but will also get on a nail and the nail will act as a wick. If you put a strip of tape all the way around the building at each level you are nailing the stone, wont that help prevent water wicking into the wall on each nail?

[@sonnyboy16]

I've notices you guys have been rocking the badgers for a while. What happened to you diamondbacks? How do you like the badgers? Had mine (carpenter set) for about 6 months and I love it.

[@robertlaird6746]

Awesome work and love your tool choices. DeWalt tools suck and I don't recall seeing those on your channel and I've watched every one of your videos.

[@Corey-dy2cq]

As far as guttering I would be curious to know how they size it. Sometimes I think they should have installed 4" on my home instead of 3" because the water can overflow on heavy rains. And over times that is no bueno on the fascia board.

[@mtms42000]

They need to make a pre cast corner piece.

[@bastiat691]

No rain screen necessary behind the stone?

[@Acbaker23]

Why don’t you keep a few bins by you and put the packaging in the bin as you go. That way, the clean up is less at the end?
