Choosing the right siding for your home is a process, and homeowners choose different
materials for different reasons. Many Minnesotans will opt for ‘wood’ siding because they like the way it looks. Wood sidings add to the appeal of every style home. Traditionally, fiber cement siding was the go-to material for homeowners and contractors alike. Although fiber cement is visually appealing, it is not very sturdy, damages easily and absorbs water. Our team has found a similar product with much higher performance ratings: LP SmartSide.

The following article from LP’s website details the benefits of their product;
LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding products offer multiple advantages over fiber cement. Unlike SmartSide, fiber cement products require special safety training, special gear to protect against airborne silica and specific cutting tools. LP SmartSide products are far less likely to break or crack than fiber cement. And LP SmartSide products are significantly lighter than fiber cement siding, which means quicker, easier installation.

LP SmartSide products work and cut just like traditional wood, taking nails and screws with ease. They’re factory pre-primed to take paint, delivering optimal adhesion and consistent application. LP SmartSide products also deliver the beautiful, authentic look of real wood for unbeatable curb appeal. And our proprietary 
SmartGuard® manufacturing process helps protect against termite damage and fungal decay. Speaking of protection, our 5/50-Year Limited Warranty provides a 5-year,100% labor and replacement feature and a 5/50 Year Prorated Limited Warranty on the product. Compare LP SmartSide Trim & Siding to fiber cement, and the difference is clear: LP SmartSide products are the smart choice.
