Homeowners around Ladue’s McKnight and Deer Creek neighborhoods often want the warmth of real wood on their 1920s brick Colonials and mid-century modern homes, but they’ve watched cedar rot, cup, and stain badly under mature tree canopies. That’s why Top Quality Exteriors installs LP SmartSide siding as the engineered-wood answer that keeps the character of real wood while resisting moisture, borers, and hail damage year-round. Our lp smartside siding Ladue crews specialize in matching architectural details on established homes near Clayton Road.
LP SmartSide’s SmartGuard-treated engineered wood ships in 16-foot panel and lap lengths, meaning fewer seams and cleaner sightlines across long Tudor and Colonial elevations. The treated strand technology, borate treatment, and factory-primed substrate stand up to Missouri humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and wind-driven rain far better than solid cedar. Pair it with our insulated siding in Ladue service and you get a warmer, quieter wall assembly without losing the wood-grain look homeowners expect.
Older brick and stucco homes in Ladue often carry aging wood soffit, fascia, gable trim, and dormer siding that’s failed under the mature tree canopy of the McKnight and Graybridge areas. LP SmartSide is the natural replacement here because the SmartGuard treatment—zinc borate, wax, resin, and factory primer—protects the OSB substrate from moisture wicking, wood-boring insects, and hail impact that a heavy overhanging limb can drop. Our crews install the 76 Series lap, panel, and cedar-texture trim with proper 6-inch ground clearance, kick-out flashing at every roof-wall junction, and PVC-taped seams so nothing telegraphs through the finish. We coordinate Ladue Building Department permits through 314-997-6308, hit the 48-hour inspection scheduling window, and match ExpertFinish factory colors to the home’s existing paint scheme. For a broader exterior refresh, we bundle with our fiber cement siding in Ladue service to blend materials cleanly.
Every Ladue project runs through the same five-step process so you know exactly what to expect. From the first walk-around to the final Ladue Building Department inspection, we keep the timeline tight and the details clear at every stage.

Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022 with over 7 years of combined industry experience behind the ownership and crew. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and we work every LP SmartSide install with the same tight standards on every home in Ladue. On Ladue’s pre-war brick Colonials and Ladue Estates mid-century homes, the details matter—dormer flashing, gable trim reveals, and panel alignment across long elevations.
Our installers are trained on the LP SmartSide 76 Series specifications, ExpertFinish handling, and factory fastener patterns. We treat every job like a showcase home: zero shortcuts on flashing, house wrap detailing, or seam sealing. Every project ships with the 36-month workmanship warranty as our baseline, backed by the LP 5/50 substrate warranty on materials. Need a companion service? Our James Hardie siding in Ladue team blends materials seamlessly on-site.
LP SmartSide siding in Ladue typically runs $8–$15 per square foot installed, or roughly $16,000–$30,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home. Larger custom homes near Deer Creek or with steep Tudor elevations run higher because of dormer trim, gable-end complexity, and staging. Add Ladue’s permit reality—a $100 deposit plus $5 per $1,000 of construction cost, and $45 per inspection over 2 to 6 inspections—and you’re looking at real logistical detail no ballpark quote captures.
The value math favors LP SmartSide because the 5/50 limited warranty and SmartGuard treatment mean you replace far less often than solid cedar or hardboard. Over 25 years, that’s fewer repaints, fewer rot repairs, and no borer damage under the tree canopy. We finance through Hearth and GreenSky for qualified Ladue homeowners, and every quote is line-itemed so you know where dollars go. Ask about our ExpertFinish palette during the walk-around visit.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
