Why It Matters

Real wood appearance

Deeper, more authentic wood grain than vinyl or fiber cement — important on craftsman, farmhouse, and traditional Omaha architecture.

Engineered for impact

SmartSide outperforms fiber cement on certain impact tests — handles ladder bumps, baseballs, and hail better than rigid alternatives.

Fastener-friendly install

Lighter than fiber cement and easier to install around the complex trim of older Omaha two-stories — and less waste in cuts.

5/50 limited warranty

Five-year 100% labor and replacement, plus 50-year limited substrate. Diamond Kote pre-finish carries a separate 30-year no-fade promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does LP SmartSide compare to James Hardie?

Hardie is non-combustible and harder; SmartSide is lighter, has better impact resistance in certain tests, and shows deeper wood grain. Both are excellent — the choice usually comes down to architectural look and budget.

Is SmartSide good for Omaha wind exposure?

Yes. SmartSide is fastener-rated for high-wind regions and we install it with proper nail count and spacing for the straight-line winds we see across Douglas and Sarpy counties.

What's Diamond Kote and is it worth it?

Diamond Kote is a factory-applied pre-finish on SmartSide with a 30-year no-fade promise. For Omaha homeowners staying long-term, it eliminates the repaint cycle and is usually worth the upcharge.
