Building a home is about more than selecting finishes and floor plans. It’s about creating a place that reflects who you are, supports your lifestyle, and provides peace of mind for years to come.
For George and Claire Kittle, every detail mattered. Their vision was a home that felt modern and welcoming not only for themselves, but for their friends and family too. In order to bring that vision to life, they incorporated LP® products including LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding in Abyss Black, LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier, LP Legacy® Premium Sub-Flooring, and LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Sheathing.
The result is a beautiful home that delivers more than curb appeal, it provides the confidence that comes from knowing the home is protected from the roof down.
A Home That Makes a Statement
First impressions matter, and the Kittles wanted an exterior that felt timeless, bold, and matched their other buildings.
Their choice of LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding in Abyss Black creates a modern aesthetic that immediately stands out. Abyss Black is one of 16 prefinished colors available in the collection, offering homeowners a sophisticated color palette without sacrificing durability.
For the Kittles, the deep black finish helped achieve the beauty of what they had envisioned for their home. “One of my favorite things is the siding, how it looks like a real wood grain and the black paint, and I wanted to match it to our other buildings, and it came out flawlessly” – [Claire Kittle]
LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding is engineered for long-lasting beauty and durability, helping homeowners enjoy the look they love without having to paint the siding once it is installed.
Confidence Beneath the Surface
Some of the most important decisions the Kittles made are hidden behind the walls.
Every homeowner understands the value of protection from the elements. That’s why they incorporated LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier, helping create a tight building envelope and providing protection against air and moisture infiltration.
Knowing their home includes an additional layer of defense gives homeowners like the Kittles confidence that their investment is protected long-term.
The Feeling of a Solid Foundation
A home should feel sturdy from the moment you step inside.
That feeling starts with LP Legacy® Premium Sub-Flooring, a product designed to help create a strong, stable floor system throughout the home.
For homeowners, a quality sub-floor often goes unnoticed, which is exactly the point. When floors feel solid underfoot and perform year after year, families can focus on making memories instead of worrying about what is happening beneath them.
The Kittles chose products that support the long-term performance of their home, creating a foundation for everyday living.
Comfort Designed into Every Season
To help support a comfortable indoor environment, the Kittles incorporated LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Sheathing into their home's construction.
By addressing heat at the roofline, homeowners can make choices that contribute to a more comfortable living experience, particularly during warm weather months.
For families spending time together at home, comfort matters. Whether it's relaxing after a busy week, hosting friends and family, or simply enjoying a quiet evening, the Kittles wanted a home that feels as good as it looks.
A Complete Home Built Around Peace of Mind
One of the biggest advantages of choosing LP Building Solutions’ products is how they work together throughout the home.
From the curb appeal of LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding to the moisture management, strength, and the comfort-focused performance of LP® Structural Solutions, the Kittles selected products that contribute to the overall performance and beauty of their home.
Rather than focusing on a single product, they took a whole-home approach—investing in solutions that support beauty, durability and comfort from the foundation to the roof.
A home is more than a structure, it's where life happens. By choosing LP® products throughout the build, the Kittles created a space that delivers not only stunning design, but also the reassurance that comes from building with products engineered for lasting performance. “We want to build a spot where we can have friends, family, entertain, host people with beautiful views… it checks all the boxes for us.” - [George Kittle]
