Diamond Kote Siding

We install Diamond Kote siding in and around Lake Ozark, MO for homeowners and property managers who want the warmth of a real wood look without the maintenance that usually comes attached to it. Diamond Kote is a prefinished system built on LP SmartSide engineered wood, and the color is applied and cured at the factory rather than brushed on outdoors after the boards go up.

That single difference is what the product is for. No paint phase during installation, no waiting on a dry week, and no repainting project waiting for you a few years down the road.

The finish is the entire argument. It is applied in layers under controlled factory conditions, on all sides of the board, which is not something a paint crew on a ladder can replicate no matter how careful they are. The result is color that resists fading, chalking, and peeling, backed by a 30-year no-fade warranty.

Underneath that finish is LP SmartSide engineered wood, made from wood strands treated with SmartGuard, a blend of waxes, resins, and zinc borate worked through the material rather than sprayed on the surface. That treatment is what resists moisture, insects, and decay.

The tradeoff worth knowing about is color. Diamond Kote comes in a set range rather than any shade you can imagine. If you have an exact color in mind that is not in the deck, painted LP SmartSide is the better route and we will tell you so.

At Select Exteriors and Roofing, prefinished siding gets handled differently than painted siding, because there is no touch-up coat at the end to hide a bad cut or a scratched face. Every board has to be handled, cut, and fastened correctly the first time.

Here's what we offer:

New Diamond Kote Installation: We install prefinished siding on new construction and full exterior upgrades, with the color chosen up front and the finish arriving intact.

Full Siding Replacement: We tear off the old material, inspect the sheathing and framing underneath, and address what we find before anything new goes on the wall.

Siding and Trim Repair: Damaged boards do not always mean a full replacement. Because Diamond Kote colors are factory matched, replacing a section is far more straightforward than patching a painted wall.

Trim and Accessory Work: Diamond Kote produces matching trim, soffit, and fascia, so the whole exterior reads as one system rather than a siding job with mismatched edges.

Every project is handled with the goal of getting the exterior right the first time, because a prefinished system does not give you a second pass to fix it.

We have installed enough prefinished siding around the Lake to know where it earns its cost and where it does not.

Some of the key benefits include:

No Repainting: The finish is applied at the factory and carries a 30-year no-fade warranty. Repainting is not a line item in your future.

Faster Installation: There is no paint phase, no second crew, and no waiting on weather for a coat to cure.

Consistent Color: Factory application means every board matches every other board, and a replacement board years from now still matches.

Engineered Wood Underneath: The LP SmartSide substrate is treated throughout with SmartGuard to resist moisture, insects, and decay.

Matching Trim: Siding, trim, soffit, and fascia all come from the same finish program, so the exterior reads as one piece.

For homeowners around Lake Ozark whose hardest wall is three stories up a hillside, the maintenance you avoid is worth more here than it would be almost anywhere else.

Same engineered wood underneath. The difference is where the finish gets applied. Diamond Kote is that substrate with the color baked on at the factory, so it arrives finished, skips the paint phase, and carries a no-fade warranty. The tradeoff is a set color range and a higher cost up front.

Standard LP SmartSide costs less to start, gives you unlimited color, and adds a paint phase during installation plus repainting somewhere down the road. If your walls are easy to reach and the exact color matters, painted LP SmartSide is likely the better value. If you would rather never deal with it again, the prefinished route usually wins. We will walk your home and tell you which one actually fits.
