One of the Most Durable Siding Options on the Market With Impressive Workability

“It’s a really easy product for even one person to work with.”—Kyle Stumpenhorst, RR Buildings

Kyle Stumpenhorst of RR Buildings is a post-frame building expert who has gained momentum sharing his building process and results on social media. He often works on his projects solo or with a small crew, so finding an easy siding solution that pairs durability and workability is a must for him.

“I love the fact that it is so durable” says Stumpenhorst about LP SmartSide Trim & Siding, which is manufactured with advanced durability that allows it to bend without breaking.

As an easier-to-handle siding that is made to carry its own weight—even at 16-foot lengths—LP SmartSide products have helped Stumpenhorst tackle more jobs in less time, making it one of the easiest types of siding to install. 

Stumpenhorst, who has used LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® durable exterior siding for his clients, says, “I know that even with a small crew we’re going to be able to install it quicker and step back and see that big picture of a finished product.”

LP SmartSide products remain lightweight, even at longer lengths, allowing you to carry up to five boards at a time so that you can side more homes in less time. LP SmartSide ExperFinish products come prefinished, helping you take jobsite efficiency to the next level: "All I have to do is install it to spec, do my touch-ups, and it's a job well done," says Stumpenhorst. In a world where instant gratification is key, having a product that is prefinished and helps you get to the finish line quicker can be a game-changer for builders and their clients.

A Favorite Among Builders and Their Clients

“We really believe in and have trusted in their products for decades now, and that’s why we still recommend them to other people all the time.”—Erik Perkins, Perkins Builder Brothers  

Durability and workability are just the first of many engineered wood siding benefits. As a builder, you're constantly working toward that feeling of finished-and a big part of the serotonin boost that comes with a job well done has to do with the client. Are they happy with the end results? Were you able to bring their vision to life? Do you feel confident the materials you chose were a good investment for your clients?

The Perkins Builder Brothers have been using LP products for decades, and they don’t plan to stop anytime soon.

"As local builder[s] we get lots of phone calls from people in [our] area who are wondering what kind of siding they should put on their house," says Perkins. "And what I usually tell them is what I put on my own house: LP SmartSide Trim & Siding."

LP SmartSide ExpertFinish products pair the beauty of a factory-finished paint job with the durability of engineered wood equipped with LP’s proprietary SmartGuard® process, which helps protect siding from moisture while being fungal decay and termite resistant, making it one of the most durable siding options on the market.

Versatile Colors Pair With an Industry-Leading Siding Warranty

“LP is unrivaled when it comes to choosing styles and colors of siding to make the homeowner happy.”—Andy Lindus, Lindus Construction

A long-time LP SmartSide product user, Andy Lindus of Lindus Construction has also recently begun using LP SmartSide ExpertFinish products on his builds and has found success with his clients.

The colors offered in the ExpertFinish® color collection range from Snowscape White to Rapids Blue and Abyss Black with many in between.
