Manufacturer and material references. Final selection is confirmed with physical samples and your project proposal.

A natural material, not an engineered substitute.

Solid wood siding and engineered wood have different compositions and care needs. Species, grade, profile, finish, and exposure influence the proposal and long-term upkeep.

Natural wood siding can be discussed during your project estimate. Ask which species and profiles are currently offered rather than assuming every cedar or specialty finish is available.

Plan for finish and maintenance.

Sun, moisture exposure, wall detailing, and the chosen finish affect how natural wood weathers. Maintenance expectations should be part of the material decision.

Compare actual samples, installed examples, and current product instructions. A weathered look and a consistently coated appearance call for different expectations.

  • Identify the offered species and grade.
  • Compare profile and finish choices.
  • Discuss maintenance access on upper elevations.
  • Review drainage and ground/roof transitions.
A few useful answers

Before you begin.

Is natural wood the same as LP SmartSide?

No. LP SmartSide is an engineered-wood product family. Solid wood is a different material category.

Can any wood species be supplied?

Current species and profile availability must be confirmed during the estimate.
