New construction is where siding gets to be done right from the start, with no old cladding to tear off and no surprises behind the wall. On this Manheim home we installed gray lap siding with crisp white trim and black windows, over properly detailed sheathing, giving the house a clean, modern farmhouse look and an exterior built to last from day one.
What the Manheim siding project involved
On a new build the whole exterior comes together as one package, from sheathing to trim. The scope covered:
- Properly detailed sheathing and moisture barrier
- Gray lap siding installed with correct fastening and clearances
- Crisp white trim around windows, doors, and corners
- A decorative gable truss detail for character
- Clean integration with the roofline and black window units
Why the details define a new exterior
On a modern home, every trim line reads sharply against the siding, so the corners, window trim, and reveals all have to be precise. Getting the sheathing and moisture details right underneath is what keeps the wall sound behind that clean face. You can learn more about durable siding materials from James Hardie.
