LP SmartSide siding installation — Tacoma & Puget Sound

LP SmartSide Engineered Wood Siding Installation in Western Washington.

LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding: tougher than fiber cement against impact, lighter to install, and backed by a 5/50-year prorated manufacturer warranty. It is one of the two siding brands we install most across the South Sound.

LP SmartSide gives Pacific Northwest homes the warmth of real wood with engineered moisture resistance, factory treatment, and lap or panel formats that hold up to Puget Sound rain. PrimeGuard Exteriors installs LP SmartSide across Tacoma, Seattle, Olympia, Gig Harbor, and the South Sound.

Why homeowners choose it

Why LP SmartSide is the sweet spot for PNW siding projects.

Engineered for moisture.

Wood-strand panels are factory-treated with zinc borate and resin binders for resistance to fungal decay, swelling, and termites — built for wet Western Washington climates.

Real-wood look.

Cedar grain texture, deep shadow lines, and lap or shake profiles deliver the warm appearance homeowners want without the maintenance cost of real cedar.

Faster install than fiber cement.

Lighter weight, longer lengths, and standard fastening cut labor hours, which often makes LP SmartSide more affordable per square foot installed than premium fiber cement.

2-Year workmanship coverage.

LP SmartSide carries a strong substrate warranty from the manufacturer. PrimeGuard backs the installation with our 2-Year Workmanship Warranty + Manufacturer Warranties* for the original homeowner.

LP SmartSide FAQ

How long does LP SmartSide last in the Pacific Northwest?

With proper installation and a maintained finish, LP SmartSide typically performs for 30–50 years. The manufacturer offers a multi-decade limited substrate warranty.

Is LP SmartSide cheaper than fiber cement?

Material costs are comparable, but installed cost is often lower because LP SmartSide is lighter and faster to handle. We give an exact price at your free estimate.
