LP SmartSide siding installation by Solaris

LP SmartSide siding contractor

LP SmartSide siding for Minnesota homes.

A durable engineered-wood exterior with substantial profiles, clean trim details and the flexibility to create a genuinely custom look.

Why Solaris likes LP SmartSide

A siding system that rewards good exterior detailing.

Solaris installs LP SmartSide for homeowners who want the character of an engineered-wood exterior and the freedom to use strong trim, accent and profile combinations. The finished result can feel more architectural than a basic re-side.

Engineered for exterior durability

LP says SmartSide products are treated through its SmartGuard process and offers a prorated 50-year limited warranty on covered exterior SmartSide products. Product eligibility, installation requirements and warranty terms should always be verified for the exact material selected.

Lap, vertical, shake and trim options

LP SmartSide can support traditional lap siding, vertical accents, shake-style areas and coordinated trim. That gives us room to design a cohesive exterior instead of simply replacing one wall covering with another.

Installation details still matter

No siding product replaces proper flashing, a continuous water-resistive barrier, clearances and carefully integrated windows, doors and penetrations. Solaris treats those hidden details as part of the finished siding project.

Design flexibility

Build the exterior around the house—not around a catalog page.

Lap siding

A familiar horizontal profile with strong shadow lines and a substantial finished appearance.

Vertical accents

Use vertical siding strategically on gables or architectural sections to add contrast and height.

Trim & details

Window trim, corners, fascia and transitions can be coordinated so the whole exterior looks intentional.

LP SmartSide or vinyl?

Both can be good choices for different homeowners.

LP SmartSide is often attractive to homeowners prioritizing a more substantial engineered-wood look and detailed trim. Vinyl siding can be a strong choice when lower maintenance and value are higher priorities. The right answer depends on the home, desired appearance, maintenance expectations and project budget.

Solaris installs both, so the consultation can focus on what fits the project rather than forcing one product into every home.
