The Best Stone Siding! Versetta Stone!

[@jeremyrude6883]

I have been a carpenter 25+ years. I'm currently considering stone veneer on my personal house. And I'll have to say. I really like this product.

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.

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.

[@ta3355]

Kyle, throw down a layer of straw around the perimeter at the drip lines. Works great and is cheap.

[@PATRICK-zj9xb]

The teamwork and camaraderie you guys have just make the results that much better! That building is going to look great decades from now. Take that pride in your work, you deserve it!!! Thanks for bringing us along!!

[@mlblja]

I've been watching you guys since you started and it's a pleasure watching you guys work. The precision you work with is always spot on.

[@miajul07]

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.

[@freddien7]

As always great job, Gregg knowing what you need in advance is the sign of a good labourer. All these years maybe make him a partner R & R G !!.😁

[@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

[@davidparker2173]

Ledgestone Style in Northern Ash is exactly the model I will use if I can ever get to it. That's a good choice. People are afraid of dark houses, but they can look real good, if you know what you're doing.

[@andrewcarr2431]

the charcoal against the solid black metal frames of the doors, windows looks amazing.

[@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.

[@ashleywynn4923]

I did a corner in my dining room with Boral Versetta stone. Placed a corner bar in front of it. Turned out awesome. Expensive yes but its easy to work with.

[@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

[@dustinmarquand5301]

Kyle. I always appreciate your willingness to try new products .

[@dougdiplacido2406]

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.

[@RRBuildings]

Will do

[@Todd_W1234]

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!

[@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.

[@JimDonald-hu1kw]

The rep I spoke with claims they don’t have them because there would only be a few variations and if you used them for tall corner then the repeating pieces would start to look too fake? Makes sense

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

That is an awesome product and looks amazing. Plus it is pretty easy to install..nice work guys

[@darrenberry3456]

The stone looks super awesome !!!

[@mrx.2233]

Looking good there guys. I am sure Kyle you are going to have an awesome workshop.

[@ThePond2023]

Great video, wish I had a cameraman lol. Did a cigar and whiskey room for an old vet with this stuff from the drink rails down in the room, really great product super easy install. My only gripe was the inside of the stone doesn't match the exterior color so being mindful of your seams, cuts and corners was crucial to it looking good when finished wish I had known about the universal finished corner pieces...

[@PaulMikna]

That's great looking stone! Great video!

Thank you brother! 🤓☝

[@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.

[@Only-a-Guess]

Nice job, here in the UK we generally call what you describe as the reference line a "Datum Line"

Good morning happy Thursday Great weekend 👍👌👍✌️🙏🙏🙏😀

[@Platoface]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@PaulMikna]

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

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.

[@dasarheavymetal675]

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

[@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.

[@BiasOfficialChannel]

In Norway, we adhere to a building practice where we leave an inch to one and a half inches of open space between the cladding and sheathing. This serves multiple purposes, such as allowing for water drainage in case of infiltration and aiding in keeping the wall cool when directly exposed to sunlight.

[@deadlata9767]

That gets done in US also, at least in my region. In some areas it is code. Usually referred to as a rainscreen or ventilated rain screen here.

[@GJohnson-zp3vo]

In Canada the rain screen and cavity wall principals are very important to follow. If not expect a damp wall with a drastically reduced lifespan. We build crap these days. I guess it's more important to imagine something over acknowledge what it actually is or as in this case what it isn't.

[@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.

[@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 !

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.

[@FJB2020]

Any insight as to why it is so dang expensive and why they doubled their price in the last 2 years?

[@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.

[@robavis4906]

lookin good fellas. Nice work

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

[@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.

[@CliffordAllison]

I'm confused on the stone installation. When you nail it in what are you actually nailing into that will hold the nails?

[@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

[@TamasKish-h4q]

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

[@joesilvasr9733]

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

[@drassx615]

would you ever consider doing the versetta stone all the way up the wall?

[@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

[@marcusfoshie4642]

It would be nice if they had corner pieces in some corner pieces with a bumpout for an artistic look. And how you gonna do is put the straight pieces where they go That would make everything so much faster.

[@nidiacheeld2]

Question? What about a drainage barrier behind the stone. We are planning on something like the versetta but we have the zip osb.

[@srchubz]

there's a built in drainage channel behind it. manufacturer recommends WRB... so zip has you covered

[@lornelflairsaavedra9280]

Is the board waterproof? like what it's economical life to resist from any leaks inside house? I was just curious.

[@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

[@steves1266]

I'm assuming from the installation process in your video that this particular product must be installed on an already weatherproofed surface? Which if that's true, means this product does not offer protection from water penetration in itself?

[@Sonjateboekhorst]

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

[@ZombiePanda1776]

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

[@EightBawl]

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?
