Why Replace or Upgrade Your Home's Siding?
Worn or failing siding does more than hurt curb appeal. Gaps, cracks, and moisture infiltration behind old siding can lead to hidden structural damage, higher heating and cooling bills, and pest entry points that cost far more to address than a new siding installation.
Signs it’s time to replace your home’s siding:
- Warped, cracked, or buckled siding panels
- Soft spots indicating moisture damage or rot behind the wall
- Visible fading, peeling paint, or chalking that repaints can’t fix
- Rising energy bills from poor insulation at the exterior
- Pest damage or evidence of insects in siding boards
- Siding that is more than 20 years old and showing wear
Why LP SmartSide Engineered Wood Siding?
LP SmartSide is engineered from real wood strands treated with a proprietary resin and wax formula that resists moisture, impact, fungal decay, and termites — the challenges that have historically shortened the lifespan of traditional wood siding in the Hudson Valley climate.
How LP SmartSide compares to other common siding options:
LP SmartSide vs. Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is low cost upfront but can crack in cold weather, fade over time, and lacks the structural rigidity of engineered wood. LP SmartSide holds paint better, withstands impact, and carries a more natural wood appearance that suits Hudson Valley’s historic residential character.
LP SmartSide vs. Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement is durable but heavy, brittle under impact, and slow to install. LP SmartSide is lighter, easier to work with, and offers comparable moisture resistance with greater workability — particularly important on older homes with uneven framing.
LP SmartSide vs. Traditional Wood Siding
Traditional wood siding requires regular painting, staining, and sealing to resist rot and insects. LP SmartSide delivers the look of real wood with a fraction of the maintenance, backed by a manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Our LP Siding Installation Process
A proper siding installation is about more than nailing panels to your home’s exterior. At Nostrand Home Improvements, every LP siding project follows a structured process that protects your home’s structure and ensures the finished product performs as intended.
Step 1: On-Site Consultation and Assessment
We inspect your home’s existing exterior, check for any underlying moisture damage or structural concerns, and discuss your material preferences, finish options, and project goals. We provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins.
Step 2: Moisture Barrier and Substrate Preparation
Proper installation starts with the wall substrate. We install or repair house wrap moisture barriers, address any rot or damage behind the existing siding, and prepare the surface for long-term performance.
Step 3: LP Siding Installation
LP SmartSide panels are installed to manufacturer specifications and Ulster County building requirements, with proper nailing patterns, expansion gaps, and flashing at all penetrations, windows, and doors.
Step 4: Trim Integration and Caulking
All window and door surrounds, corner boards, and fascia are integrated with matched LP SmartSide trim. Factory-compatible exterior caulk is applied at all joints to seal the installation against moisture and air infiltration.
Step 5: Final Inspection and Site Cleanup
We walk the completed installation with you, verify all details meet our craftsmanship standard, and leave your property clean. We do not consider a project finished until you are satisfied with the result.

Frequently Asked Questions
LP SmartSide engineered wood siding is backed by a manufacturer's limited warranty and typically performs for 30 or more years when properly installed and painted. Actual lifespan depends on installation quality, climate exposure, and routine maintenance such as periodic repainting.
LP SmartSide siding comes pre-primed from the factory and requires a topcoat of exterior paint after installation. Once painted, it typically needs repainting every 5 to 10 years depending on sun exposure and climate — significantly less frequently than traditional wood siding.
LP siding installation costs vary based on your home's square footage, story height, existing substrate condition, and trim complexity. Nostrand Home Improvements provides a detailed written estimate after an on-site consultation so you understand the full scope and cost before any work begins.
In most cases, we recommend removing existing siding before installing LP SmartSide. This allows us to inspect and address any moisture damage or insulation deficiencies behind the wall — issues that, left unaddressed, shorten the new siding's lifespan regardless of material quality.
Permit requirements for siding replacement in Ulster County vary by municipality and project scope. Nostrand Home Improvements is familiar with local permit requirements across Stone Ridge, Accord, New Paltz, Saugerties, and Highland and can advise you on whether a permit applies to your specific project.
