Expert LP® SmartSide® Engineered Wood Siding Installation

The Authentic Look of Wood With Unmatched Durability—Engineered for Midwest Weather.

Traditional wood siding can’t withstand the Midwest’s demanding climate—severe freeze-thaw cycles cause rot, water damage, and cracking that compromise your home’s protection and curb appeal. LP SmartSide® Engineered Wood Siding delivers superior performance with authentic beauty that lasts.

Why Midwest Homeowners Choose LP SmartSide®

When you invest in your home’s exterior renovation, you need lasting protection, exceptional impact resistance, and the confidence that comes from working with experienced professionals. LP SmartSide® delivers on all three.

  • Superior Impact Resistance: Engineered to withstand golf-ball-sized hail that shatters fiber cement and dents vinyl
  • SmartGuard® Process: Zinc borate treatment resists fungal decay and termite damage
  • Integrated Weather Barrier: Advanced panel design creates seamless protection that maintains optimal building envelope performance
  • Fewer Seams, Premium Look: 16-foot lengths mean 33% fewer vertical seams for a sleeker finish
  • Freeze-Thaw Durability: Engineered resins prevent water infiltration and swelling through extreme temperature cycles
  • Deep Cedar Grain Texture: Embossed from actual wood for authentic warmth without rot and repair concerns

Where Other Siding Materials Fall Short

While fiber cement siding and natural wood siding remain popular choices, the total project costs of materials not engineered for Midwest winters often exceed initial savings when you factor in moisture damage, brittleness, and ongoing maintenance.

Dramatic temperature swings make fiber cement susceptible to cracking and delaminating. Unlike LP SmartSide®’s engineered wood strength, fiber cement can shatter from hail impact or stress.

Real wood siding delivers beautiful aesthetics initially, but in Midwest climates, it absorbs moisture, leading to warping, rot, and pest damage. LP SmartSide® eliminates these risks while preserving the classic wooden look homeowners want.

The Value of Low-Maintenance Living

LP SmartSide® eliminates constant maintenance cycles—no board replacement, no rot repairs, just lasting protection and long-term value for your investment.

Natural wood siding requires significant maintenance every few years in Columbus. Those repair costs add up fast.

  • Hidden Repair Costs: Replacing rotted sheathing, boards with visible mold damage, or cracked panels is labor-intensive and expensive
  • 30-Year Reality: Factor in damaged board replacement and frequent repainting—thousands of dollars maintaining traditional wood
  • The Mr. Roof Advantage: We back our LP SmartSide® installation with comprehensive warranties on materials and workmanship

Exterior renovation with quality siding delivers measurable returns for homeowners.

  • Strong Return on Value: Industry research consistently finds that siding replacement with high-quality materials recovers a significant portion of project costs upon resale
  • High Satisfaction: Homeowners report exceptional satisfaction with exterior transformations—that pride you feel pulling into your driveway has real value

Frequently Asked Questions

LP SmartSide® engineered wood siding delivers the authentic look of wood without the maintenance headaches. The SmartGuard® Process treats each panel with zinc borate to resist rot, fungal decay, and termite damage—problems that plague natural wood in Midwest climates. Engineered resins prevent the water infiltration and swelling that cause natural wood to warp and crack during freeze-thaw cycles. The integrated weather barrier system also provides superior building envelope protection compared to traditional wood siding. You get the beauty of wood with performance that lasts decades.

While both are durable options, LP SmartSide® offers distinct advantages. It’s significantly lighter than fiber cement, making installation easier and faster. The engineered wood construction provides superior impact resistance—it won’t shatter from hail like fiber cement can. LP SmartSide®’s 16-foot lengths also mean fewer seams for a cleaner, more premium appearance. Additionally, the factory-applied ExpertFinish® coating eliminates the field-painting many fiber cement products require.

SmartGuard® is LP’s proprietary treatment process that protects against moisture, fungal decay, and termites. During manufacturing, zinc borate is integrated throughout each panel—not just surface-applied. This comprehensive protection prevents the rot and pest damage that compromises other siding materials over time. It’s one of the key reasons LP SmartSide® outperforms traditional wood siding and delivers lasting value.

Absolutely. LP SmartSide® is perfect for both complete exterior renovations and accent installations. Many homeowners use it to highlight specific architectural features—gables, dormers, feature walls, or entryways—while using complementary siding on the rest of the home. This creates striking visual interest while showcasing premium details. Our design consultants help you determine the best application approach for your vision and budget.

Most LP SmartSide® siding projects take 1-2 weeks to complete, depending on your home’s size, complexity, and whether you’re doing a full exterior renovation or accent installation. Our professional installation crews work efficiently while maintaining the attention to detail that ensures proper performance. We follow all manufacturer installation guidelines, use appropriate house wrap and flashing, and conduct thorough final inspections before project completion.

LP SmartSide® is remarkably low-maintenance compared to natural wood siding. Factory-applied ExpertFinish® coating protects against fading and weather damage without requiring frequent repainting. Simply inspect your siding annually for any damage from severe weather, keep it clean with occasional washing, and touch up any areas where trim or panels may have been impacted. This minimal maintenance routine keeps your LP SmartSide® looking beautiful for decades.

LP offers comprehensive warranties on SmartSide® products, including coverage against defects in materials and the SmartGuard® treatment process. Specific warranty terms vary by product line and installation details. When you choose Mr. Roof for your LP SmartSide® installation, we ensure all work meets manufacturer specifications, so your warranty protection remains intact. We also back our installation workmanship, giving you complete peace of mind.
