LP SmartSide engineered wood siding
LP SmartSide gives you the warmth and workability of real wood with treatment that resists the moisture, rot, and insects that ruined the hardboard of decades past. It is a favorite for homeowners who want a wood look that lasts.
LP SmartSide Engineered Wood done right in Salem
Engineered wood siding is made from wood strands bound and treated so the finished board keeps the look and feel of real lumber without the rot and swelling that plagued older pressed hardboard. LP SmartSide is the line we install most in this category.
It is lighter than fiber cement, comes in long lengths that reduce seams, and takes paint beautifully, which makes it a strong choice for craftsman and farmhouse styles common across the valley.
We install it with the treated cut edges sealed and the flashing detailed correctly, because with any wood based product the details are what make it last.

LP SmartSide Engineered Wood in Salem: common questions
How is SmartSide different from the old hardboard that failed?
It is engineered wood strands bound with resins and treated through the whole board with a zinc borate process, so it resists the moisture and fungal decay that made old pressed hardboard swell and crumble.
Does it really look like wood?
Yes. It comes in a cedar grain texture and long lengths that mean fewer seams, so it reads as natural wood from the street while behaving far better in our climate.
How does the cost compare to fiber cement?
SmartSide often lands a little below fiber cement and is lighter to work with, while still carrying a long warranty. We compare both honestly for your specific home.
Does it need painting?
It comes prefinished or primed for field paint. Prefinished carries a long finish warranty, and field paint gives you a fully custom color. We help you choose.
