LP SmartSide Siding in Lincoln, NE

Why Lincoln homeowners are choosing LP SmartSide

LP SmartSide is an engineered wood siding made from wood strands, resin and zinc borate, pressed into lap boards, panels, shakes and trim. It gives you the deep texture and clean lines of cedar without the rot, splitting and constant repainting real wood needs in our climate.

It’s also one of the toughest siding products on the market for hail. In our experience on Lincoln and Southeast Nebraska homes, SmartSide shrugs off impacts that would crack vinyl or chip fiber cement, which matters when the next spring storm rolls through Lancaster County.

We install SmartSide as a complete system: LP-approved fasteners, correct gaps and sealant at every joint, flashing at windows and doors, and a fresh housewrap underneath. Installed right, it’s a 30-plus-year exterior.

Benefits of LP SmartSide

• Hail and impact resistance — engineered wood strands resist cracking and denting far better than vinyl.
• Real wood appearance — deep cedar-grain texture, 16-ft lengths for fewer seams, and matching trim and soffit.
• 50-year limited substrate warranty from LP, plus a 5/50-year finish warranty on pre-finished ExpertFinish and Diamond Kote products.
• Lighter and easier to install cleanly than fiber cement, which keeps labor costs and jobsite dust down.
• Treated against termites and fungal decay with LP’s SmartGuard process.
• Pre-finished color options — no painting after install, and a factory finish that outlasts a field-applied coat.

Product options we install

We offer LP SmartSide in the profiles and finishes that fit most Lincoln homes:

• SmartSide Lap Siding — 6″, 8″ and 12″ exposures in cedar texture or smooth.
• SmartSide Panel & Vertical Siding — board-and-batten and modern vertical looks for gables, garages and additions.
• SmartSide Shakes — straight-edge and staggered-edge for gables and accents.
• SmartSide Trim & Fascia — matching corners, window surrounds and fascia so the whole exterior ages together.
• ExpertFinish and Diamond Kote pre-finished — 16 to 30 factory colors with long finish warranties, or primed for a custom paint color.

How the project goes

1. Free inspection and estimate. We measure the home, check for hidden rot or moisture, and give you a written price with product and color options.
2. Samples at your home. Colors look different in Nebraska sunlight than on a screen; we bring boards to your driveway.
3. Tear-off and prep. Old siding comes off, sheathing is repaired where needed, and new housewrap and flashing go on.
4. Installation. Most homes take one to two weeks. Panels are gapped, sealed and fastened to LP’s specifications so the warranty holds.
5. Walkthrough and warranty registration. We clean up, walk the home with you, and register your LP warranty.

Financing and insurance

Financing available

A full SmartSide re-side is a significant investment. Financing for qualified homeowners lets you do the whole house at once instead of one side at a time. Explore financing options →

Storm damage and insurance claims

If hail or wind damaged your existing siding, your homeowner’s policy may cover replacement. We document the damage, write the estimate in Xactimate and meet your adjuster. Many homeowners upgrade to SmartSide during a claim by paying only the difference. How an insurance claim works →
