Thanks! Very helpful!

Do the nails and the rain backing come with the product?

So this video classifies as a classic deceptive sponsored video advertisement. TLDR: this was probably close to $5,000 in fake stone for 300 sqft. I'll report it but it won't make a difference. Don't bother and buy this product unless money means nothing to you.

Keep in mind this is around $15 sf. So not exactly cheap! A 300 sf area is $4500 Ouch Even a single wall 100sf will run you 1500 bucks

I am about 3/4 of the way through a project and had similar results (all good). I had to call customer service a couple of times and was treated well despite my many questions. One tip.... I am applying the stone over both wood and concrete and needed both nails and construction adhesive. I am using more of both than expected. Since the nails (16 ga 2-1/2" stainless colated) are a special order from my suplier (Home Depot), order more than you need and return the extra.

What product color is that? Or is it a blend of two different colors.

What was the total cost at time of making this video?

Evolve Stone is not easy to "break" you have to cut with a saw and then try to make the ends the way you want them. It is not easy.

How much did all the materials cost

What type of saw blades did you use? Will a wood blade in a chop saw work? Or do I need a masonry blade?

Good video. I would have cut-in a flashing under the exposed lower edge of the T1-11 before starting the ledger and then ran it over top of the ledger stone.

Look at the pin holes in the stuff they are using. This is caused by air bubbles in the product. Won't the finish nails make it easier for water to penetrate to the sub-straight? How do you call it stone, when you can drive a finish nail thru it? The web site says to expect fading in the first 3 months! Brand new product....to many if's to take a chance on installing for a client. NO THANK'S I will use proven cultured stone veneer.

Bit of an older post but...WHERE did you PURCHASE your DOORS? Thanking you in advance.

I'm very curious as to how much this Forge guy is getting paid to market this stuff. No other videos from him or zero follow-up to comments/questions from others here

I recently purchased this product and have not installed it yet. I’m laying it over my concrete foundation but having difficulty finding any videos of the process anywhere including Evolve Stones website which Is odd. To me me this guy is obviously way overselling this stuff only because he is showing a sample box he received but already purchased the product. Probably a paid marketer or Evolve employee. I just don’t understand why Evolve does not have any videos on concrete installation. What I also found troubling is the fact that in their instructions provided they recommend using an adhesive that is nearly impossible to find anywhere from a homeowners standpoint. I emailed their customer service for an alternate adhesive to the one recommended and once again they refer to me to a product that is not readily available to the common homeowner and nowhere to be found in any home center (Depot or Lowe’s). I will have to now waste more time and researching my own. Update to follow.

Great video. I just bought 300 sq for my house.

Good video but something is fishy. I can’t find any info on “Forge Construction”. And you’ve only done one video since posting this on 9 December? I want to believe this is “a real consumer review” but the only Eric Smith I can find runs a full service media marketing company. Am I missing something?

Excellent video!!

Did you use all the same color. It looks like you used at least 2 of the colors.

Thank you for making this video. Great job

Does the ledger stone need to be caulked to keep water from getting behind the groove of the T1-11?

What 2 colors did you combine?

how much a sqft??

I also wonder if you could apply this product on a concrete wall with a type of construction adhesive. It seems doable but their website doesn't say. Maybe when you do more jobs with it, you can inquire about it. Can't wait to see your video on your next job.

Interesting. Do you fill in the screw holes for the ledgers or sills? Any idea on the price per box and how many square feet it covers? I went to their website and nothing is really stated. They go through dealers. Found out there's a dealer about 20 minutes from me.
