Modern Farmhouse Done Right: LP Siding with a Builder’s Twist

Описание: We’ve built this house 7 times now—but this one hits different. In this video, we walk through the LP SmartSide products we used to get that clean modern farmhouse look without sacrificing buildability or performance.

From LP's ExpertFinish nickel gap to their lap siding with lap joints and shingle panels, we break down why these products make sense for builders and deliver that crisp, designer-approved exterior.

I’ll also share real-world tips for install, touch-up, shadow lines, and why we never spec fiber cement anymore.

🔨 Whether you're a builder, homeowner, or DIY remodeler—this is not just another white house.

Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.
