Why Choose LP SmartSide Siding for Your Ottawa Home?

LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding. Strands of real wood are treated and bonded with resins into long, straight boards, so you get the grain and depth of wood in a board made to resist moisture and stay straight.

It’s how most Ottawa homes get a wood look today: about 90% of the “wood” siding installed in Ottawa is engineered wood rather than solid boards.

  • Benefits of LP SmartSide Siding

    • The look of real wood: a deep cedar-grain texture, or a smooth finish for a cleaner, modern look.
    • Treated to the core: LP’s SmartGuard® process treats every strand with zinc borate, waxes and resins, to help the siding resist moisture, fungal decay and termites.
    • Made for our climate: LP engineers SmartSide to stand up to impacts, high humidity and freeze–thaw cycles.
    • Your colour, your way: one of LP’s 16 ExpertFinish® factory colours, or primed boards ready for a colour you choose.
    • One system, top to bottom: lap siding, shakes, vertical panels, nickel gap, trim, fascia and soffit, all from the same product line.
    • Backed twice: LP’s own limited warranty on the product, and our 5-year workmanship warranty on the installation.

What Our Clients Say

What Ottawa Homeowners Say About Our Siding Services

4.9 ★★★★★ 217 Google reviews
Nicole S. Siding
★★★★★

We are so happy we went with NorthCo to do our exterior renovation/siding. Right from the start, we felt comfortable and not pressured. Etienne, our estimator, was terrific and listened carefully to what we were looking for and answered all our questions (quite a difference from other companies we had do estimates). Claudel, the lead designer, was so helpful when we were selecting our new design and siding. Dan, one of the owners, was very hands on and always reachable by text for any questions or concerns. The biggest praise, however, is for the siding crew Liam and Kodi. They were so professional, hardworking, and detail oriented. The quality of their work was impressive, always going the extra mile to not just make it good but to make it the best. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy and were wonderful to deal with. Their hard work and friendliness even caught the attention of one of the neighbours on our street – who has since reached out to NorthCo for an estimate. And we made sure to rave about our experience.

Elisabeth S. Siding
★★★★★

Our experience with NorthCo for replacement of our home exterior siding was friendly, professional and efficient. Great communication and they were respectful of our property. The job met our expectations.

Jeff H. Siding
★★★★★

NorthCo did a great job on our siding. From the salesman and designers, I was consulted every step of the way. There was a lot more work than expected but Liam and his crew did a fantastic job and the house looks great.

Frequently Asked Questions About LP SmartSide Siding in Ottawa

Still deciding? Tell us about the room and we’ll tell you straight what it takes. Get a free quote.

LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding made by LP Building Solutions. Strands of wood are treated with LP’s SmartGuard® process and bonded with resins into boards with the texture of wood, designed to resist moisture, fungal decay and termites.

Both give you a painted, wood-look exterior. LP SmartSide is engineered wood with a deep grain; fiber cement, like James Hardie, is cement-based and non-combustible. We install both, and your designer will help you weigh them for your home.

LP engineers SmartSide to stand up to freeze–thaw cycles and high humidity. We install it over a sealed, taped house wrap with a rainscreen gap behind it, so the wall can drain and dry through the seasons.

Yes. Choose one of LP’s 16 ExpertFinish® prefinished colours, or primed boards ready for a custom colour.

LP backs the product with its own limited warranty, and NorthCo backs the installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty. We’ll walk you through the manufacturer’s terms for the product you choose.

Typically 1 to 4 weeks on site, depending on your home’s size, the profiles you choose and any repairs we find once the old siding is off.
