Have No Worries with LP Smartside Siding

Oct 18, 2024

Winter is coming. As the snow falls and the bitter wind blows, you’ll want a siding that can keep you warm and protect your home from the icy elements. LP Smartside Siding provides the solution.

“LP Smartside Siding is an engineered wood product, meaning it is composed of wood fibers treated with waxes, resin binders, and zinc borate,” said Scott Cline, co-owner of J & B Construction. “This blend of materials combines aspects and features of other siding products into one attractive package.”

The following are some of the benefits LP Smartside offers.

Durability

LP Smartside’s durability is unlike other siding options because of its mix of materials. It stands strong through winter and summer, unlike other wood siding that can expand and contract in the changing seasons. In winter, it can withstand hail, while in the summer, it can handle the impact of a baseball or golf ball that was hit too close to the house.

“This engineered wood siding is worry-free,” Scott said. “There’s no need to be concerned about weather elements, and there’s also no need to worry about insects or mold and mildew,” Scott said. “The zinc borate in the siding deters insects and inhibits fungi growth. In addition, the wax and binders allow the siding to remain water resistant.”

While most siding materials come in 12-foot length panels, LP Smartside comes in 16-foot panels. Fewer panels mean fewer places where water—and air—can seep in and damage your home or increase your energy bills.

Beautiful Appearance

LP Smartside comes in colors and styles that match any homeowner’s taste and personality. It’s offered in dozens of hues, but it can also be made with authentic woodgrain patterns for a more traditional wood feel.

“Smartside has the look and feel of real wood siding that vinyl or fiber cement siding just can’t quite match,” said Scott.

The styles of Smartside vary from lap siding, trim, panel siding, vertical siding, plus shakes and shingles. “With the hundreds of patterns that can be made in the siding, you can customize your home’s appearance exactly as you like,” Scott said.

Sustainability

“LP Smartside is one of the most sustainable siding options available because it is made with wood, a renewable resource,” said Scott.

The Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, the company that makes the siding, is a participant in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), meaning its materials are sourced responsibly from welcome and sustainable options.

The only complaint I have is when I have J&B do my roof in another 30 years or so, is Dave their sales man (a great guy) would not guaranty I could get the same great crew I had this time. They did a fantastic job. Much better than the last roofing company did. A nice bunch of guys. Did a very nice job cleaning up. I'd give them 10 stars but 5 is the limit. If you need a roof done this is the company you want to do it. One more point I need to make. The guys that did the chimney flashing are artists. I went up on the roof when they were done and was very pleased with not only the roofing job but the sculptured sheet metal work. It's kind of a shame it's on the roof and not hanging on the family room wall :). You get the point. Hire em. You'll like em.

We live in a historic designated neighborhood and recently had our 30 year wood shingle roof replaced with another wood roof and new gutters. From Day 1 of the project to the final day, the entire team was responsive, professional, and very competent. When some minor changes were proposed by us they quickly and effortlessly complied. After going through this experience with J&B, I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a roof and gutter replacement, whether it be a simple or complicated project.

J & B did an amazing job from start to finish. The initial meeting at my home took place exactly at the time that was agreed upon and Scott was thorough in his explanations and transparent about costs. When the time came to begin the project, the team that showed up was friendly, professional and timely in getting the project done. The cleanup afterward was such that it looked like they hadn't been there at all. The roof looks great, there were no surprises and Scott came by to inspect the work and explain the warranty upon job completion. I would highly recommend them.
