The Look of Wood Without the Problems of Wood

We install LP SmartSide siding in and around Lake Ozark, MO for homeowners who want a real wood appearance on the wall without inheriting what real wood does over time. LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding, and it is the most widely installed product of its kind in the country.

The board is made from wood strands treated with SmartGuard, a blend of waxes, resins, and zinc borate worked through the material rather than sprayed onto the surface. That treatment is what resists moisture, insects, and decay. It ships pre-primed and gets painted after installation, which is where its biggest advantage comes from.

Why Choose LP SmartSide

The color is the argument. LP SmartSide arrives primed and unpainted, which means your color is whatever you decide it is. Match the trim on a historic house, satisfy an HOA requirement, or match something you saw and cannot find in anybody's color deck. There is no range to choose from because there is no range.


It is also changeable later. Repainting a prefinished system is not something anyone recommends. Repainting a painted system is just repainting, which matters more than people expect on a house that changes hands or changes taste.


The practical advantages come from the material itself. It is lighter and comes in longer lengths than fiber cement, which means fewer seams on a long wall and a faster install. It cuts and handles cleanly. And the substrate carries a long manufacturer warranty on top of whatever paint you put over it.

Our LP SmartSide Siding Services

At Select Exteriors and Roofing, engineered wood gets installed to the manufacturer's spec, not to whatever is fastest. Clearances at grade, at the roofline, and around every opening all matter, and so does how the joints are handled. Get those wrong and you have engineered a path for water to sit against the board.

Here's what we offer:


New LP SmartSide Installation: We install engineered wood siding on new construction and full exterior upgrades, with correct clearances, proper fastening, and joints detailed so water sheds instead of sitting.


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 Repair: Damaged boards do not always mean a full replacement. We match and replace what needs replacing so the wall reads consistently.


Painting and Finishing: The paint phase is part of the job, not something you coordinate separately afterward. We handle the finish so the exterior is complete when we leave.


Trim, Soffit and Fascia: LP SmartSide produces matching trim, so the whole exterior comes from one system rather than a siding job with mismatched edges.

Every project is handled with the goal of getting the wall assembly right, because siding that looks correct and drains incorrectly is a problem you find out about years later.

Benefits of LP SmartSide Siding

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:

Unlimited Color: Primed and unpainted from the factory, so you are not choosing from a deck. Any color, including an exact match to something already on the house.


Treated Throughout: SmartGuard is worked through the material, not applied to the face, which is what resists moisture, insects, and decay.


Fewer Seams: Longer board lengths than fiber cement mean fewer joints on a long wall, and joints are where water gets its opportunities.


Easier to Work With: Lighter weight and cleaner cutting than fiber cement, which shortens the install and reduces handling damage.


Real Wood Texture: Cedar texture and smooth profiles that read as wood from the curb without behaving like wood in the weather.

For homeowners around Lake Ozark who care about hitting an exact color, or who want the option to change it later, painted engineered wood is usually the better value than a prefinished system.

LP SmartSide or Diamond Kote?

Same engineered wood underneath. The difference is where the finish gets applied. Standard LP SmartSide costs less to start, gives you unlimited color, and adds a paint phase during installation plus repainting somewhere down the road.

Diamond Kote is that same 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.

If your walls are easy to reach and the exact color matters, painted LP SmartSide is likely the better value. If your hardest wall is three stories up a hillside and 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is LP SmartSide made of?

    Engineered wood. Wood strands treated with SmartGuard, a blend of waxes, resins, and zinc borate that resists moisture, insects, and decay, then bonded and formed into siding and trim.

  • Is LP SmartSide the same as composite siding?

    Engineered wood is a type of composite siding, and LP SmartSide is the most common engineered wood product on the market. In everyday conversation the terms get used interchangeably.

  • Does LP SmartSide need to be painted?

    Yes. It ships pre-primed and gets painted after installation. That is what gives you unlimited color choice, and it also means repainting eventually, the same as any painted exterior.

  • Can I get any color I want?

    Diamond Kote comes in a set color range rather than unlimited custom colors. If you have a specific color in mind that is not in the range, standard LP SmartSide painted on site is the better route, and we will tell you that.

  • How is it different from Diamond Kote?

    Same board underneath. Diamond Kote adds a factory applied finish so there is no painting. LP SmartSide comes primed and gets painted on site, which costs less up front and lets you pick any color.

  • How does engineered wood compare to fiber cement?

    Engineered wood is lighter, comes in longer lengths, and installs faster. Fiber cement is heavier and will not burn. Both resist rot and insects. Which one fits depends on the house and the budget, and we will walk you through it rather than leading with one.

  • What areas do you service?

    We are based in Lake Ozark and serve the Lake of the Ozarks and Mid-Missouri area, including Lake Ozark, Camdenton, Sunrise Beach, Eldon, Osage Beach, Jefferson City, Columbia, and Rocky Mount.
