SMART SIDING
Smart siding is one of our favorite exterior upgrades — it’s durable, beautiful, and built to last. Made from engineered wood, it resists moisture, termites, and even carpenter bees (a big deal here in North Georgia). It’s easy to maintain and holds up incredibly well over time, giving your home lasting protection without constant upkeep.
With its clean look and long lifespan, smart siding is perfect for anyone who wants a worry-free exterior that still looks custom.​
Before: Wood siding showing wear, fading, or insect damage
After: Freshly painted Smart Siding, crisp trim, modern look
To add a personal touch, we hand-painted the siding to match our client’s exact style. She wanted something unique and warm that still offered the strength and durability smart siding is known for — and we delivered just that. The end result gave her a home that stands out for all the right reasons: beauty, function, and protection that will last for years.

Smart Siding: Answers to Common Questions
Q: What exactly is engineered wood (“smart”) siding?
A: It’s made from wood fibers or strands that are combined with resins and adhesives, then compressed into boards that resemble traditional wood but are built for greater durability.
​
Q: How does it stand up to pests, moisture, and wear?
A: Engineered wood siding is treated or manufactured to resist moisture, insect damage (including carpenter bees), and decay — making it more resilient than regular wood siding.
​
Q: Is it lower-maintenance than traditional wood siding?
A: Yes. While natural wood often needs frequent repainting or sealing, engineered wood typically requires less upkeep — fewer repairs, less sanding or staining.
​
Q: Does it cost more than standard siding?
A: It tends to be more affordable than premium natural wood (like cedar) and slightly above basic vinyl — giving a strong value when you factor in long-term maintenance savings.
​
Q: What design, style or color flexibility does it offer?
A: A lot. Engineered wood siding comes in many styles — lap, board & batten, shingle textures — and color/finish options to match your home’s character.
​
Q: Any special installation or care considerations?
A: Yes — proper installation is key. If sealed or installed incorrectly, moisture issues may arise. Also, regular inspections help maintain its performance.
​
Q: How long can it last?
A: When installed and maintained well, many engineered wood siding products have lifespans of 20-30 years or more.
