If stone siding has started to take off in your neighborhood or if you’re looking for a home improvement project with a high return of investment, then it’s time to consider installing stone veneer siding.

- Building paper
- Masonry nails
- Metal lath
- Moisture barrier

## Instructions

### 1\. Apply Building Paper/Felt Paper/Moisture Barrier

After removing any old siding, begin by finding building paper or felt paper at any home improvement store. Installers typically use 15-pound felt paper, but if you live in a wet climate, you may want thicker paper. Nail the paper or house wrap to the surface with standard nails.

### 2\. Space and Cut Wire Lath

Measure the area where you want to install stone veneer siding and begin cutting lath to fit the area. Install lath over building paper and secure it with masonry nails or screws.

### 3\. Apply Type “S” Mortar

Apply a ½-inch layer of Type “S” mortar to the wire lath. It’s important to texturize, score or scratch the mortar before applying the veneer so it sticks better. Let the coat dry overnight or for about 12 hours.

### 4\. Add Type “S” Mortar to Stone Veneer

Start adding the tiles after applying Type “S” mortar to the back of the tiles or stones. If necessary, add grout between joints. Most stone veneer comes in boxes with pre-molded corners. Hold the stone to the surface for about five seconds or until it sticks. If there are gaps, use a cut-off grinder to shape the stone to fit.

## When to Call a Pro

Like other siding projects with [different types of siding materials](https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/siding/types-of-siding/), installing stone veneer siding carries a moisture risk. The last thing a homeowner wants is moisture problems so if you don’t feel comfortable putting up moisture barriers and sealing mortar joints, call a contractor. A poor stone veneer siding job will cost you more in the long run than having a pro install stone veneer siding.
