LP SmartSide Siding in Frontenac, MO

On the 1950s through 1980s French Provincial and Traditional homes across Frontenac, the failure point usually isn’t the brick or Austin white limestone — it’s the aging wood fascia, soffit, and trim hiding under that mature tree canopy. At Top Quality Exteriors, we replace those rotting wood components with LP SmartSide siding Frontenac MO homeowners trust to handle deep shade, summer humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles without warping, splitting, or peeling along the Conway Road, Geyer Road, and Clayton Road corridors near Plaza Frontenac.

LP SmartSide is engineered wood with the factory-applied SmartGuard treatment, which means treated strand technology resists rot, termites, and impact damage while still giving you the deep, natural grain texture of real cedar. Sixteen-foot lap lengths mean fewer seams across the long elevations typical of Frontenac homes on one-acre lots, and the 5/50 limited warranty pairs cleanly with the workmanship coverage on every siding installation in Frontenac project we run from tear-off through final trim.

Why Frontenac Homes Choose LP

  • Engineered wood resists rot, termites, and shaded moisture damage
  • 16-foot lengths reduce seams on large Frontenac elevations
  • 5/50 limited warranty backed by our workmanship coverage

Built for Frontenac Conditions

Frontenac’s heavy tree canopy is a double-edged sword: it shades these custom French Provincial and Colonial homes beautifully, but it also keeps wood fascia and soffit damp for weeks at a time and drops limbs during spring supercells. LP SmartSide answers both problems directly. The treated strand technology under the SmartGuard coating is engineered to shrug off the trapped moisture that pulls cedar and pine trim apart, and the 38 Series lap, 76 Series panel, and ExpertFinish prefinished options give us three different ways to match the proportion and detailing on a 1950s Frontenac Estates home or a newer Conway Road custom build. We also use the matching LP SmartSide trim and soffit pieces to replace rotted wood in one continuous system, which keeps paint lines, reveals, and shadow lines consistent across the entire elevation. For homes weighing the engineered-wood option against fiber cement, our fiber cement siding in Frontenac page walks through the trade-offs side by side.

Our 5-Step SmartSide Process

Every Frontenac LP SmartSide project follows the same disciplined sequence — measure twice, document the existing rot, and never cut corners on flashing or fasteners. Here’s how our crew moves from your first call to the final walkthrough.

Free Inspection

We walk your Frontenac elevations and probe each suspect fascia and soffit panel by hand. Hidden rot under shaded north faces is what we hunt. Clear photos arrive before we quote.

Custom Quote

You receive a line-item proposal: 38 Series lap or 76 Series panel, trim, color, and any soffit work. We size 16-foot lengths to your elevations. No surprise charges show up later.

Permit and Prep

We pull your Frontenac permit (valid 180 days) and stage material carefully around mature landscaping. Drop cloths protect limestone, brick, and mulched beds. Then tear-off starts.

SmartSide Install

Crews tear off rotted wood, replace compromised sheathing, and install housewrap before fastening LP SmartSide. We blind-nail laps and seal each joint. Trim and corners go on last.

Final Walkthrough

We walk every elevation with you, confirm color, reveals, caulk lines, and trim. Touch-ups happen on the spot. Warranty paperwork and care notes go in your hands before we leave.

Why Frontenac Trusts Our Crews

Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022, and our owner Mario A. Granados brings over 7 years of industry experience to every Frontenac project. We hold BBB Accredited Business status with an A+ rating, we’re licensed in Missouri and Illinois, and we carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance — paperwork available before you sign anything. Discerning Frontenac homeowners aren’t shopping lowest bid; they’re vetting workmanship and warranty.

That’s why our 36-month workmanship warranty is the firm baseline on every LP SmartSide job, with extended coverage up to lifetime available on select products. Our 52-plus team members understand that a finished elevation on a Frontenac Estates home gets scrutinized at close range, so caulk lines, butt joints, and corner returns get a level of attention that production crews skip. When a related issue surfaces, we can also assist with siding repair in Frontenac.

What LP SmartSide Costs Here

LP SmartSide cost Frontenac MO projects typically land in a higher range than vinyl because the material itself is engineered wood and the install demands trained carpenters, not panel-snappers. Two variables move price more than anything else: the linear feet of trim, fascia, and soffit replaced versus just the field lap, and how complex your elevations are — gables, dormers, returns, and bay windows all mean more cuts, more flashing details, and more staging time.

For a typical Frontenac home, expect material and labor pricing that lines up between vinyl and full fiber cement, with the LP 5/50 limited warranty included and the engineered-wood look much closer to real cedar than any polymer siding product on the market. We offer flexible financing through Hearth and GreenSky for qualified homeowners. If your project includes a different material, see our James Hardie siding in Frontenac page.

Frequently Asked Questions

LP SmartSide carries a 5/50 limited manufacturer warranty, which covers 5 years of 100% labor and replacement and a 50-year prorated limited warranty on substrate. In real Frontenac conditions — heavy shade, freeze-thaw, and humidity — properly installed SmartSide regularly performs for 40 years or more. Maintenance is light: rinse it, recaulk joints as needed.
Both perform well in St. Louis weather. LP SmartSide is engineered wood, lighter, easier to cut, comes in 16-foot lengths (fewer seams), and forgives slight wall imperfections better. James Hardie is fiber cement — heavier, more brittle, and has a slightly better fire rating. For older Frontenac homes with wavy framing, SmartSide often installs cleaner.
Yes. The City of Frontenac requires a building permit for siding replacement, and the permit is valid for 180 days from issuance. The city has adopted the 2021 International Residential Code family, so installation must meet current code for fasteners, flashing, and weather-resistive barriers. We pull the permit on your behalf and handle the inspection scheduling.
LP SmartSide is available either prefinished through the ExpertFinish line or as primed lap that we paint on-site. ExpertFinish offers 16 factory-applied colors with a 15-year finish warranty. Site-painted SmartSide opens up any color match — useful when matching a heritage palette on a French Provincial home or coordinating with limestone, brick, or stucco accents.
Yes. LP SmartSide passes impact testing that vinyl can’t match, and the treated strand core absorbs energy where rigid panels crack. The St. Louis metro averages three to five significant hail events a year, so impact resistance matters. Recent storms — spring 2025 hail and the late-May 2025 EF3 tornado — show why we recommend SmartSide over hollow-back vinyl.
Yes — and that’s the strongest argument for it on a 1950s–1980s Frontenac home. LP makes matching trim boards, soffit panels, fascia, and corner pieces in the same treated strand technology as the lap. Replacing rotted wood trim with LP SmartSide trim means one warranty, one finish, and one system across the entire elevation, with no mismatched joints or shadow lines.
