Durable, Low-Maintenance Siding for Nebraska Homes
Residential Siding
Stronger, Smarter Siding for Your Home
Your home’s siding isn’t just about curb appeal, it’s your first line of defense against the elements. Nebraska homes are subject to high winds, hail, and fluctuating temperatures which can cause warping, cracking, and moisture damage, which can be pricey to repair.
That’s why Nebraska homeowners trust LP SmartSide®. This composite siding looks and feels just like natural wood, but with the strength and durability of fiber cement. Its proprietary SmartGuard® manufacturing process combines four components including Zinc borate to resist damage from fungal decay and termites, waxes to increase durability in humid locations, resins to add strength and weather freeze and thaw cycles, as well as an overlay to resist moisture.
Backed by a 50-year warranty, LP SmartSide® products offer an affordable alternative to traditional wood siding. With its tough-as-nails construction, you can enjoy unmatched durability and longer-lasting color, with minimal upkeep. Better yet, there’s 16 colors to choose from, so you can match to any style of house or landscape!

Unlike wood siding, there is no sanding, sealing, or frequent repainting required. It also won’t crack, peel, or fade like vinyl or regular fiber cement. LP’s SmartSide products can be cleaned with a detergent mixture and soft brush once a year.

Signs That You Need to Replace Your Residential Siding
Nebraska’s weather can be brutal. If your siding has cracks, dents, or missing panels after a storm, it’s no longer doing its job.
Siding should lie flat and feel solid. If it’s bulging, curling, or soft to the touch, moisture is getting in and that leads to rot and structural damage.
