Kyle Stumpenhorst: Teaching the Trade, One Build at a Time
Kyle Stumpenhorst of RR Buildings put Trusscore to work the same way his audience does — on a real jobsite, under real conditions — proving that a clean, low-maintenance wall and ceiling solution belongs in both the workshop and the home garage.
Kyle Stumpenhorst is the founder of RR Buildings, a Northern Illinois–based custom post-frame construction company known for high-quality craftsmanship and practical building education. A former tech professional turned full-time builder, Kyle built his reputation by sharing detailed, real-world jobsite knowledge through RR Buildings’ widely followed online platforms, where he teaches framing methods, construction best practices, and tool use to builders of all skill levels.
He is also the creator of RR Tool Belts, professional gear designed from hands-on field experience, and a strong advocate for growing the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
Two Builds, One Standard
Kyle first featured Trusscore products in his workshop build, showcasing how durable, easy-to-install Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard enhances a working space — providing a clean, low-maintenance wall and ceiling solution that holds up to demanding job environments.
He later chose Trusscore again for a personal project — a two-car garage renovation prompted by his wife’s request. That second build demonstrated the product’s versatility across both professional and residential applications, and its ability to deliver a high-quality, finished space that’s functional and visually appealing.

“So nice, clean, and bright.” That’s the bar for the new waRRehouse — a space for all of Kyle’s stuff, finished with Trusscore so it stays that way.
