All About LP SmartSide Siding

Katelyn Lewis • August 2, 2023

If you’re thinking about replacing your siding, you may consider LP SmartSide siding, like this Retex homeowner did.

Home-Retex

An acronym for Louisiana-Pacific, the manufacturing company behind SmartSide, LP offers a home exterior wood siding option without the maintenance or cost attached to your standard wood. Wax, resin, zinc borate, and other binders keep the wood protected and resistant to insects and rot. 


Maintenance includes rinsing any dust, dirt, or debris with a garden hose, cloth, sponge, or soft brush; don’t power-wash LP, as it may cause moisture intrusion, discoloration, and damage to the paint. Its cedar base means it’s not fire-resistant, but it is considered one of the greener siding options.


Pricing wise, it’s more expensive than vinyl but cheaper than HardiePlank. It comes in a variety of prefinished color options, too.


If you’d like a LP siding quote for your home, we’re here to help. Call us at 804-258-6300 to schedule an appointment today.
