Frequently Asked Questions
What is LP SmartSide?
LP SmartSide is an engineered wood siding product made from treated wood strands bonded with a zinc borate-infused resin and protected by SmartGuard finish. It offers the look of real wood with superior resistance to hail, moisture, fungal decay, and termites.
How long does LP SmartSide last?
LP SmartSide comes with a 50-year limited substrate warranty and a 5-year finish warranty. With proper installation and periodic maintenance, it can protect your home for decades.
Is LP SmartSide better than HardiePlank?
LP SmartSide is lighter, easier to install, more impact-resistant against hail, and provides a more authentic wood grain appearance. We recommend it for homeowners in hail-prone areas.
Why Homeowners Choose LP SmartSide
In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Colorado, siding takes a beating from hail, wind-driven rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense UV exposure. LP SmartSide engineered wood is built for exactly these conditions: its treated wood substrate resists impact far better than vinyl or fiber cement, so a summer hailstorm that dents aluminum and cracks vinyl often leaves SmartSide untouched. That impact resistance is a major reason we install it on so many storm-restoration projects.
As a certified LP SmartSide contractor, our crews are trained on the manufacturer's installation specifications — proper flashing, gap spacing, fastening, and sealing — which is what keeps the 50-year substrate warranty intact. We install lap siding, panels, trim, and shakes in the full range of prefinished ExpertFinish colors, or primed for custom paint.
