LP® SmartSide® Siding in Fruitland, ID
Fruitland, Payette County farm town at the Idaho-Oregon border
LP® SmartSide® is engineered wood siding that gives you a warm, genuine wood look with the durability and dimensional stability of a treated, engineered substrate. Instead of solid lumber that checks, splits, and rots, SmartSide® is made from wood strands bound with resins and treated through the board for moisture and termite resistance, then milled with real wood-grain texture. We install the full range — lap, panel, batten, shakes, and trim.
For Treasure Valley homeowners who love the character of cedar but not its upkeep, SmartSide® is the natural middle ground. It carries deep grain and shadow lines that read as real wood from the curb, but it shrugs off the wind, intense sun, and freeze-thaw swings that make solid cedar a maintenance headache here. It's also lighter and easier to work than fiber cement, which can shorten install time on the right project.
Finish is a key decision. LP's ExpertFinish® options arrive pre-finished from the factory in a curated palette with long finish warranties, while primed SmartSide® lets you field-paint any custom color. We'll walk you through both so you can balance custom-color freedom against the longevity and convenience of a baked-on finish.
SmartSide® suits mountain-modern and craftsman homes around Eagle, Star, and the Boise bench where owners want real texture and warmth. It's an engineered wood product, so it does need its cut edges sealed and its finish maintained on a cycle, and we'll be honest about that compared to the lower-maintenance mineral option of fiber cement.

Our process
How lp® smartside® siding works in Fruitland
- 01
Profile & finish selection
We help you choose between LP® SmartSide® lap, panel, batten, and shake profiles and ExpertFinish® pre-finished colors versus primed-for-paint, then measure for an accurate quote.
- 02
Tear-off & substrate check
Old siding comes off and we inspect and repair the wall behind it — sheathing, framing, and trim — before any new material goes up.
- 03
Barrier & flashing
A weather-resistive barrier is installed and lapped, with flashing integrated at windows, doors, and penetrations so the wall drains and dries.
- 04
SmartSide® install to spec
SmartSide® is fastened per LP's published installation instructions, with the correct clearances, gaps, and cut-edge treatment that keep the substrate protected and the warranty intact.
- 05
Trim, seal & finish
We integrate trim, seal joints and cut edges, finish the details, and on field-painted jobs coordinate the topcoat — then clean the site.
- 06
Final walkthrough
We do a magnetic nail sweep and walk the finished elevation with you, confirming the details before we close out the job.
Every Fruitland job includes pulling any permit Payette County requires and a full clean-up — we leave your home tight, weather-sealed, and looking sharp.
Working in Fruitland
Fruitland, Payette County farm town at the Idaho-Oregon border
Fruitland is a small Payette County community just across the Snake River from Ontario, Oregon, surrounded by irrigated farm and orchard ground. Homes here tend to be older and rural in character — modest ranch-style and bungalow construction — and many haven't kept pace with modern energy standards in their siding or windows.
Fruitland's rural housing stock and distance from the metro core mean exterior updates have often been deferred, so original wood and early vinyl siding on many homes shows cracking, fading, and moisture damage from the river-corridor climate. Single-pane and early aluminum windows remain common, and the open ag exposure brings wind, dust, and strong summer sun.

Is LP® SmartSide® real wood?
It's engineered wood — wood strands bound with resins and treated through the board for moisture and termite resistance, then milled with real wood-grain texture. It delivers the wood look with far better durability and dimensional stability than solid boards.
How does SmartSide® compare to fiber cement?
SmartSide® is lighter, easier to work, and has a warmer, deeper wood grain; fiber cement is denser, non-combustible, and lower-maintenance over the long haul. Both perform well in our climate. The honest split is grain-and-workability versus mineral durability and fire resistance — we'll lay out the trade-offs for your home.
Does it need repainting?
Pre-finished ExpertFinish® options carry long finish warranties and resist fade well; primed-for-paint SmartSide® will need repainting on the normal exterior cycle, which our sun can shorten. Either way, keeping the finish and cut edges intact is what gives the substrate its long life.
