April 4, 2025

At Greenwood Homes, we’re always looking for partners who share our dedication to quality, beauty, and innovation. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new partnership with LP Building Solutions, a leading manufacturer of engineered wood trim and siding products. Together, we’re bringing their latest innovation — LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding — to our homes, starting with the first completed row of townhomes at Victorian Heights.

This next-generation siding combines the proven durability of LP SmartSide products with the added convenience and style of a prefinished color option — making it a perfect fit for the high standards and low-maintenance lifestyle our homeowners expect.

What Is LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish®?

As prefinished siding becomes more in demand across the industry, LP has responded with a solution that’s as smart as it is stylish. LP SmartSide ExpertFinish® is designed to help builders and homeowners alike by offering:

Advanced Durability That Lasts

LP’s engineered wood technology is built to perform. With a proprietary blend of engineered wood strands, zinc borate, industrial-grade resins, and water-resistant waxes, this siding is designed to resist moisture, fungal decay, and termites — protecting the home from the inside out. It’s durability you can see and reliability you can count on.

A Better Install with LP’s New ExpertFinish® Lap

The new LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Lap siding is designed to make installation smoother and more efficient. It eliminates the need for seam caulking, joint molds, or pan flashing at butt joints, simplifying the process and reducing the potential for error. That means a cleaner look, a faster build, and a product that’s easier to maintain over time.

Industry-Leading Warranty Protection

This product is backed by one of the best warranties in the business:

  • 5 years full labor and materials
  • 15 years limited warranty on the factory finish
  • 50 years substrate limited warranty

LP now owns the full warranty — no third-party prefinisher involved — giving both builders and homeowners confidence and peace of mind.

14 Expertly Curated Colors

LP SmartSide ExpertFinish comes in a carefully selected range of 14 beautiful colors, chosen to suit a wide variety of architectural styles and homeowner preferences. Each board is factory-finished with a durable, color-rich coating designed to maintain its beauty for years to come.

Thoughtfully Sourced, Responsibly Made

LP SmartSide® ExpertFinish® doesn’t just perform well — it also helps reduce environmental impact. The siding is made from 91% wood fiber, primarily sourced from aspen trees, which naturally regenerate. Much of the wood used comes from forests managed under SFI® (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) standards, ensuring responsible sourcing practices.

In addition to using renewable materials, LP’s manufacturing process emphasizes waste reduction. In fact, 99% of each tree is put to use — from the wood fiber in the siding itself to the bark and other byproducts, which are reused as energy or mulch. The longer board lengths also help reduce jobsite waste, and the durability of the product means less frequent replacement over time.

Perhaps most impressive, LP SmartSide products are verified carbon negative, meaning they store more carbon than they emit during their lifecycle. That’s a win for your home — and for the environment.

Installation and Jobsite Benefits

LP SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding isn’t just engineered for beauty — it’s built for performance on the jobsite. The product cuts like traditional wood and doesn’t require special tools, making it a builder-friendly option. It installs up to 26% faster than fiber cement, helping crews stay efficient and on schedule.

Available in 16-foot lengths, LP SmartSide siding minimizes vertical seams and results in fewer cuts and less waste during installation — saving time and materials. It also delivers exceptional impact, moisture, termite, and weather resistance, along with high wind-load ratings, making it a strong choice for long-term performance in a variety of climates.

See It for Yourself at Victorian Heights

The first townhomes in our brand-new Victorian Heights community feature this innovative new siding — and while that row is already sold out, you’re still welcome to visit and see LP SmartSide ExpertFinish in action. It’s a great opportunity to experience the refined look, smooth installation, and standout durability that sets this product apart.
