What Is LP Smart Siding? Everything You Need to Know

The timeless look of wood—reimagined with modern durability, smart design, and craftsmanship that lasts.

What Is LP Smart Siding?

Most people fall in love with the look of wood siding before they understand what it demands. The charm is undeniable—but so is the upkeep. Repainting, restaining, inspecting for insects… it adds up.

LP Smart Siding offers a modern solution: engineered wood that delivers the classic beauty of real woodgrain with far less maintenance. Also known as LP SmartSide, this product blends wood strands with industrial-grade resins, coated in a moisture-resistant overlay and treated with LP’s SmartGuard® process for long-term resilience.

The result is a siding material that brings warmth and texture to the home—but with muscle. Designed to endure hail, humidity, and harsh winters, LP Smart Siding is as much about performance as it is about aesthetics.

Is LP Smart Siding Good for My Home?

If your current siding is starting to peel, crack, or warp—or simply feels out of date—residing may be the right next step. And LP Smart Siding is a great option for your residential reside.

It’s especially well-suited for:

• Homeowners who want the beauty of wood without constant repainting or repair
• West Michigan homes that face freeze/thaw cycles, humidity, and wind-driven rain
• Those looking for a balance between cost and long-term performance
• Anyone wanting a robust warranty and professionally backed installation

In fact, when you work with an LP Certified Installer like J&S Siding, your home is eligible for an exclusive extended warranty, adding years of coverage to LP’s already industry-leading plans:

• 10/50-Year SmartSide Substrate Warranty
• 7/15-Year ExpertFinish® Paint Warranty

These aren’t just numbers—they’re peace of mind.
