LP Siding
LP SmartSide is a type of engineered wood siding made from wood strands bonded with resins and coated with wax for moisture resistance. This gives it the rich look of wood with far more strength against hail, wind, and the freeze-thaw cycles we see in Nebraska and Iowa.
It is lighter and easier to work with, which helps keep installation efficient and precise. LP siding also comes pre-primed for painting or in factory colors, trims, and soffits, so you can match almost any design without giving up durability.
At FS Contracting, we install, repair, and replace LP SmartSide siding with careful workmanship that protects your investment. From fastening to flashing, we focus on the details that keep your siding solid, weather-tight, and built to last.
Professional LP Siding Services
FS Contracting has worked with LP SmartSide across Nebraska and Iowa for years, handling everything from first installs to full exterior replacements.
Our experience shows in the details, tight seams, proper flashing, and finishes that hold up through Midwest weather.
LP Siding Installation
We install LP SmartSide siding for both new builds and exterior upgrades. Our crews set every panel with the right flashing, sealing, and fastening so water stays out and siding stays secure.
You can select from lap, vertical, board and batten, or panel systems to match your design.
LP Siding Repair
Hail, wind, and moisture often leave siding with cracks, chips, or peeling paint. Instead of replacing the entire system, damaged sections can be cut out, refinished, and sealed.
FS Contracting has restored countless exteriors this way, helping owners extend the life of their siding without the cost of full replacement.
LP Siding Replacement
When siding swells, buckles, or shows widespread rot, patching is no longer effective. Our team has torn off aging wood and outdated products and replaced them with modern LP SmartSide systems built for longevity.
Many property owners choose to upgrade to board and batten, shake, or vertical profiles for both durability and a fresh design.
LP Siding Painting and Finishing
A siding system only lasts as long as its finish. LP SmartSide can be repainted or stained to refresh color and resealed to block moisture.
Over the years, we have handled everything from trim and soffit painting to full siding refinishing, ensuring exteriors keep their curb appeal while staying protected.
