Engineered Wood Siding Built for Michigan Weather

What Is LP SmartSide Siding?

LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding designed to deliver the natural beauty of traditional wood with significantly improved durability. It is built to resist the kind of moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and impact that West Michigan weather throws at a home all year long. For homeowners who love the look of wood but want stronger long-term performance, it is an excellent option, and West Michigan BUILDIT | ROOFIT installs it with the care it deserves.

Unlike traditional wood, LP SmartSide is treated through an engineered process that helps it stand up to fungal decay and termites, and it resists cracking and splitting better than many alternatives. It holds paint well, comes in a range of profiles and textures, and gives your home a rich, authentic appearance.

Our Installation Process

Great siding starts with great preparation. We evaluate your existing exterior, address any underlying issues, and make sure the wall is sound before new siding goes up. Skipping that groundwork is how siding problems begin.

• Inspect the existing siding, sheathing, and weather barrier
• Address moisture issues and prepare a sound surface
• Install proper flashing and water management details
• Hang LP SmartSide with correct spacing and fastening
• Finish trim, corners, and transitions cleanly

Proper flashing, fastening, and attention to water management are what separate siding that lasts from siding that fails early. We treat those details as essential, not optional.

The Benefits of LP SmartSide

LP SmartSide offers a compelling balance of beauty and toughness. You get the warm, dimensional look of wood with strong resistance to the elements, impressive impact resistance, and lower maintenance demands than natural wood. Properly installed and maintained, it can serve your home beautifully for many years, which makes it a sound long-term value rather than a short-term fix.
