LP SmartSide Siding in Folsom, CA 95630

The homeowners here wanted siding that could stand up to Folsom's hot summers and seasonal swings without the constant upkeep their old exterior demanded. We stripped the home down to the framing, replacing every wall of existing siding along with all the trim around the doors, windows, and corners. With the walls open, our crew inspected the structural members and insulation, made the dry rot and framing repairs where they were needed, and rebuilt those sections with exterior-grade OSB. The finished result is a tighter, more durable shell wrapped in clean LP SmartSide lap siding.

For the new exterior we installed LP SmartSide 38 Series cedar-texture lap siding, a strand-substrate engineered product chosen here for its resistance to impact, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles. New 7/16-inch exterior-grade OSB sheathing went on first for shear-wall strength, and our nailing passed the city shear-wall inspection before the siding went up. Around every opening and corner we ran LP 540 Series 5/4x4 cedar-texture trim to frame the windows and doors cleanly. As part of the work we removed and reset the downspouts and reinstalled the house numbers, and we addressed the existing fence gate and posts so everything tied back together neatly.
