🔎 Material Spotlight: LP SmartSide Siding

Love the warmth and character of wood siding, but looking for an option designed for added durability and easier maintenance? LP SmartSide siding is an upgrade worth considering.

LP SmartSide is an engineered wood siding designed to deliver the look and character of traditional wood while offering enhanced resistance to moisture, fungal decay, termites, bees and impact. Its SmartGuard® manufacturing process treats the product to the core, helping it stand up to the elements while maintaining a beautiful wood-inspired appearance.

Our standard pine c***k siding remains a great choice for homeowners who love that authentic, rustic cabin look. LP SmartSide simply offers another option for those who may prioritize added durability, less maintenance, and greater consistency over time, while still keeping the warmth and character that works so well with a mountain home.

When building your home or cabin, it’s all about choosing the materials that best fit your style, priorities, and budget.

Which exterior look would you choose for your Smoky Mountain home: classic pine c***k or LP SmartSide?

🏡 Why We Build the Way We Do

At Lipsey Home Builders, every decision we make — from the materials we choose to the processes we follow — comes down to one thing: building homes that last.

We believe quality starts long before the finishes go in. It’s in the planning decisions that are made, the framing that’s done right, the jobsite that stays organized, the schedules that stay on track, and the communication that keeps everyone aligned. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t rush the details. Instead, we focus on craftsmanship, consistency, and doing the job the right way the first time.

Our team takes pride in creating homes that stand strong for decades, not just look good on move‑in day. That’s the Lipsey standard — and it’s why we build the way we do. Quality without Compromise.
