- This video is all about how we start siding a house to be as efficient as possible and give our client the best end result. I share with you tips and trick while we are starting our siding installing using LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Lap Siding to install like a pro

My experience with LP siding has been very positive. I left a couple off-cuts outside from a job two years ago, and I can’t see any degradation, even without the ends sealed. Maybe the original release Smartside had problems, but I’m absolutely sold so far.
Same it seems to be very stable
That's the best quote I've heard throughout all of your videos I've watched: "It's random, but on a pattern."
90% preparation. 10% installation...😁 Great video on the importance of prep work. Thanks Kyle. You and Greg are awesome!
Canelo’s English has gotten way better, also now his doing construction 🤯
As a boxing fan, this comment is hilarious 😂

Love the LP! Really like how you are using the level for your story pole👍🏻 Pretty sure I saw the paslode cordless nailer🤘Can’t wait for that gun to be available for purchase!
Great video as usual. I put this on my house 2 years ago, I wish they had the end laps like this shows back then!
Excellent video and technique. I have had others hassle me for NOT using gecko gauges. Using gauges can get off.
I ALWAYS pop out the top edge of every row. You always do authentic and valuable videos......thanks!
Have never liked the gauges...always measure and snap lines. Measure and snap lines, always straight and even!!
I can watch this all day. Great video!
Totally worth my time watching this video! Thanks!
Great tutorial video, clear, easy to understand, and follow the instructions the layout
Great job guys! I really enjoy your videos. No gonna lie though, a lack of redundancy with waterproofing makes me nervous (i.e just relying on the epoxy-coated sheathing system and not adding a WRB that also breaks up surface tension to let moisture drain out). I was a sub doing stucco remediation for a big builder on the east coast. We were taught by 3rd party engineers to have redundancy in all our waterproofing methods. Just a comment, not a rebuke! would love to hear your perspective. Cheers!
My first TH-cam ad while watching this video is an LP SmartSide ad. 😂🤣😆
Great detail and job installing the siding! Although the tape around the ac disconnect may make it impossible for the electrician to finish wiring it.
to keep the chalk lines consistent, and save time walking back and forth. tie 2 chalk lines together, each person takes one - wind it back and forth. insanely convenient.
Random seams! Someone gets it! I'll never understand why so many siding contractors think the "stair stepping method" is the best way to side a building. Even if you are hitting studs on your butt joints the "random pattern" always looks better in my opinion!
You may know this or maybe not, when snapping your reference lines hook both of you're snap lines together. After done snapping as you wheel it in, it pulls the other one out.
In my state siding installer is required to take out building & electrical permits. Which makes sense. How many times have you seen meter trough pulled from house to install siding. Than half ass re-installed. Breaching the water seal originally done by electrician. To re-install properly the meter needs to be opened and screwed down. Otherwise water can make its way into the meter and main panel. I’ve seen this time and time again.
Layout first is the key to a good looking job. I agree.
"A job well planned is a job half done"... words to live by, can always tell a good tradesman by their plan... keep up the good work fellas!!

I was able to build 2 huge pole barns by watching your videos alone. Using a story pole was one of the best tips I got. Perfect every time no mistakes.
Hope the finish lasts longer than the LP smartside that we used a few years ago. We're repainting this year.
@diamondkoteprefinish we need to get Kyle hooked up with some LP Rigid Stack. Much faster install. Clean and durable finish.
Kyle, is there a specific reason you went with a pneumatic nailer over a cordless nailer for installing the siding? Just trying to figure out the best tools to buy for my siding project. Thanks!
"Let me show you what 8 inches looks like" I'm dead 23:25
Great info Kyle and Greg ! Looking to do my own LP install finally this Summer ! The material has been in my garage for 4 years ! Been intimidated to start it and I can’t afford a pro install crew … These videos are giving me hope ! Be well guys !
Coming off of my first siding job; this would of been great!
Gotta learn somehow brother. Hope the job went well!
Rather than marking your level put masking tape on your level and mark that
Metal vinyl siding starter is the perfect kick out for your starter row. I’ve used with Hardie and LP. Works great and no ripping of material.
LP Smart Siding is the siding contractors use because it's cheap, easy to work with, and won't start looking terrible until a few years later, when they are no longer liable for it. LP Smart siding was designed with contractors in mind, not the home owner. It's easy to cut, lighter, less delicate when working with it, cheaper, comes in longer lengths ( so less cuts ), and looks great on day 1. Unfortunately, it's basically particle board and is notorious for taking on water and rotting. It's meant to to be lighter on the contractor's pocket in both material and labor cost, and present well. The drawbacks are passed onto the client. Do yourself a favor and avoid any contractor that uses LP smart siding. It's glorified cardboard. Look up some videos here on TH-cam of homeowners and their 5-10 year issues with LP smart siding. Installed properly, but still taking on water and becoming like a sponge within 10 years. It's like masonite siding all over again.
Factssssssss
Is there a way to paint it with something with a water repellent type paint?
That’s not good
Dang, it looked like a nice build. They used expensive Anderson windows so I'm not sure they were trying to work on a certain budget.
Would you recommend Hardie planks?
No rain screen? It's a wood product - why wouldn't you want drainage behind it?
Boy I really wish he would answer your question. He very rarely or at all answers questions. I still like his content.
maybe they don't get many rains there
Theres no rain screen needed its not hardy@@hodesto
Great job amazing work I almost thought you was Chris the guy from B is for Build are you related to him?
HI ,IF THERE IS A CHANNEL THAT DESERVES A THUMBS UP AND COMMENT . ITS YOURS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHEARING...😀🤜🏻👏🏻👍🏻
How do you set your laser up on the opposite side of the house to make sure your reference lines match up?
Is it common in the states to not have mitred corners and or box corners over the top of the corners with scribers running along them? We wouldn’t be allowed to do weatherboards like this where I’m from. no scribers next to the joinery? Are all the gaps caulked? Seems odd considering silicone doesn’t last forever? Wasn’t sure what you were referring to with your products on the horizontal joins but they sound interesting, I would love to hear fro someone else who lives state side 😊
Any idea why he used 38 “ as his reference point ? How did he know that that would line up properly at the bottom piece ?
Oh never mind he just put reference point half way through his level lol
LMAO. "I'll show you what 8" looks like. " Don't know if you meant that as a joke but it sure was funny
I had to laugh dude. I don’t think people understand how hard it is to make the stagger look look random. Glad it’s not just me
You are so inspiring Kyle!! Congratulations on your 1m+ subscribers!!We loved meeting you in Orlando last year. You were very gracious with your time!!
Btw, Grant and I are now posting more restoration/tips videos on our channel Tennessee Trailworx. We could only pray to teach your level of success!!
getting ready to use Smartside for the 1st time, and was going to buy a Tetragrip nailer, called LP and they said the Tetra grip isn't an approved nail, ring shank only?? aren't you in their videos?
Like the old guys say, 1 hour of prep work is worth 8 hours of actual work.
What color is that blue? I really like it.
Kyle, hope your kids know how lucky they are to have you as a father and the amount of knowledge and skills they can learn from you.
38 yrs as a carpenter.
100% agree with the upfront prep!
Have seen companies just start and end up in a mess. A couple of hours upfront saves from hours or days on the back end!
What color you are using?
What is the manf recommended nail placement spacing from top the siding piece? I was always taught 3/4” to keep the siding from flapping in the wind, but your nails looks almost tight to the top.
How would you compare the Expert Finish of the LP Lap siding versus upgrading to the Diamond Kote?
Also I’ll be doing SIP walls from Enercept, and the sheathing doesn’t come with a WRB like the WeatherLogic, what would you recommend for a solid house wrap that would help with water management without necessarily having to install a separate rainscreen? I’ve seen Benjamin Obdyke Hydrogap or I know Tyvek has upgraded wraps, etc.
Thanks!
Love your videos man! I am going to be building a barndo in the next year and appreciate your knowledge! Top notch work. You are what every customer hopes and prays for in a builder.
Make a video for a vertical Tand G siding.
I am a siding subcontractor for 35 years and I am doing a vertical 1x6 Tand G mahogany not cedar because the clear cedar costs way more than the mahogany
But my guys are having trouble around the windows. They can’t line up their tongues and grooves after the windows. Follow?
There s no room for error. The LP siding allows you to simply cover over any difference.
I'm beginning my journey into construction after decades in professional kitchens. any resources I should look into? pls help ppl
If only my contractors had the same dedication to prep work that you do. Excellent work here, thanks for sharing the tips.
"Let me show you what 8 inches looks like..." i can't sign-off on this buddy it's just not right lol
“Let me show you what 8 inches looks like” 🤣
God dam right Greg is going to do a fantastic job with those staggered cuts. He is a beautiful man! No homo!!
I'm no construction expert, but isn't it advisable to vertically strap the house and attach the siding to the vertical wood straps so you have an air gap to help water to drain out and moisture to dry, if it gets behind the siding?
Ok you guys when Kyle says to Greg let me show you what 8" looks like I get kinda nervous I may not be able to unsee that.
a strip of painter's tape over the side of your level... put your lines on that rather than directly on the level. When done, remove the tape.
Kyle, what you’re suggesting is that the stabila level should come with the siding marks from factory?
Ugh! You guys are so super professional! I wish you could come re-side my house!
Extreme accuracy is a luxury, but somehow a labor factor must something to consider. The reference line is always a must, but it can be transposed every five feet. snap lines in the early first rows, but after that the gecho gauge is fine. The reference lines can easily help to check the accuracy.
I had my hubby watch this video before he attempted his first siding job, I think he'll do perfect... now after watching lol. Thanks!
I love, love LP siding! Awesome product. Great teaching. I randomly cut the lengths as well. I don't bother with feet and inches. Just randomly cut so they never line up and looks manufacted. I've never had much waist either doing it this way.
Comparing to Europe standard. It is ancient times in Usa LOL. U r still using nails how it was 100 years before... Also u do not know what laser is... Why do u hammer so many nails... it is no need so many nails...
An intimate discussion with Binance's CEO about future developments
Why not rain screen?
What's the thought for the ripped siding below the windows? It seems like the spacing is more than 8" and it may sag over time? Are you gluing or adding fasteners below the windows on these pieces?
Know which siding is exploitation while shave victims don’t have water. Know how sick greedy and exploitive that is. Don’t be deceived. For not a friend.
With-in the first 50 seconds I stopped watching after seeing the fake stone veneer, knowing this is NOT a video about quality work.
I love to see the intelligent work. Construction work is not for the cracked out dropout. It is a profession that deserves the respect that ‘we’ can bring to it!
I am a recently retired LEO and I am not ready to retire. I wish that I could find a contractor with the work ethic and knowledge as you to work with as I continue on. I love big timber and post/beam construction. I had my fill of stick frame as a young man. I would love to build my own home in the next few years with the knowledge that I re-acquire. You inspire, thank you
"Let me show you what 8 inches look like".
Great video with all your prep work before you start the actual work! What size are the nails you used since no studs and what size do you use when studs are involved? Also do you mark the stud locations in order to nail them on it?
Wouldn't Gecko Guages be as accurate and much quicker than snapping all your lines?
That blue siding looks amazing! Thanks for this video Kyle! 👍😁
Well, done, Guys. About to help on the siding project thanks for the crash course.
On that aluminum flashing to concrete, I would have put a little calking on the bottom to keep the dust and little pebbles out. It's easy to get crap stuck in between when pressure washing. I'm shocked that Greg didn't do the 8" nail spacing and you were already about 4' up the wall when that happened. Glad you were able to show him what 8" looks like :) You should put a mike on Greg. I'd like to hear him roust you every know and then.
can't caulk the bottom. if water gets behind siding it needs to escape
@@jasonexplains Actually it can when you put the tape on top of it like they did.
Staggering the siding every two feet reminds me of the kids in an Amish family standing in a row , you know like little stairsteps because they were born every 11-12 months apart .
Lol
I didn't know Canelo Alvarez also worked in construction.
Great job! How would you lay out lines without buying a $1900 rotary laser?
I like the use of the reference line and story pole method. In fact it makes sense to use a level as the story pole to keep the marks true. I can definitely see how this would make the whole process quicker and more accurate in running the siding! Thanks for sharing this one, Kyle. It doesn't take much to get off a little on that center line around any building for it make it look bad! This just makes sense!
If you need windows and siding, which would you recommend first?
I definitely agree with your preparation being a huge part of completion. The rotary laser, chalk lines, story pole, perfect sided, and spacing tool were all amazing. I came to this video and your channel to learn how to reinstall a few pieces of vinyl siding after our new exposed aggregate patio. Can’t wait to learn more from you and your channel. Can’t say enough I dig your detailed preparation. And even your precision in nails every 8”.
Sounds like Chris Pratt at the beginning of you close your eyes. 😅
OSB painted boards nothing smart about it but looks good for now.
What a waste of time you could’ve done it all with two gecko clamps.
never thought about using my siding gun as a nail pattern guide pretty god rule of thumb i guess
Was that the NZ model Pasalode cordless coil nailer?!? @26:34
No sabia que el Canelo Álvarez se dedicaba a la construccion
Why there isn't straps on the wall, previous siding?
Those tetragrip nails look great, but steep, steep steep price.
I like the fasteners and the joints of the smart side. The joints of siding are one of the first things to show damage swelling from moister! They definitely have developed a good system for their siding to deal with moisture that siding will inevitably be exposed to over the years. I think one of the biggest things I like is you can get pre-painted Smart siding and trim that will last for a long time. I like the fact that they remove a huge labor burden of painting!
Agree…. Above and beyond the burden of the painting, it’s also done in a Factory under ideal conditions. Something that doesn’t happen often on site in the real world
@@RRBuildings so true!
Your lines can be on point but the windows can be out of line making you look bad lol
Hardie>>>>>
What's the name of this siding? Can we use that in Toronto Canada? Weather
23:20 "that's what she said" followed by "that's what he said"
Well that was easy to follow. And see the result of a good prep
"Let me show ya what 8 inches looks like". Had to laugh haha
“awesome framers” on youtube has a video where he sides a wall before raising it. i think you could install windows, trim and siding before raising a wall. imagine how much time that could save
Not the same with post frame but great when stick framing
I started framing 35 years ago and that’s how I was taught. We put windows, trim, siding and even overhangs on before we stand walls.
is there a minimum to how much you have to lap the siding?
what are these smartside corner trims called ? anyone? ty
What is the name and specs of the sheathing?
