Additionally, Casey shares how being involved in the design and architectural community has helped LP stay on the cutting edge.

Key Quotes by Casey:
- Resiliency comes down to building products that can withstand increasingly adverse environments.
- If risk mitigation is what builders are after, I think there is a lot to be said about making the investment upfront for more premium products that are going to work harder for you over the long run, that are going to help fortify that structure better.
