Ready to swap brittle Masonite or sun-faded vinyl on your Olivette home for engineered wood siding that outlasts the next storm cycle? Call (314) 618-8888 for a free walk-around and written SmartSide quote. We pull the Olivette permit.
If your 1950s ranch off Old Bonhomme is showing soft trim, woodpecker holes, or warped Masonite panels, LP SmartSide siding in Olivette, MO is the engineered-wood replacement most Mid County homeowners ultimately land on. We are Top Quality Exteriors, founded in 2022 with over seven years of industry experience re-cladding tired 63132 ranches and Cape Cods. SmartSide treated strand technology resists hail strikes, falling limbs, and the freeze-thaw cycles that punish older homes near Stacy Park and Warson Park year after year.
The product itself ships in 16-foot lengths, which means fewer butt joints on your wall lines and a tighter weather seal across long Olivette Terrace elevations. Paired with proper house wrap, flashing tape at every window, and ColorPlus-style ExpertFinish panels, you get a cladding system that holds paint longer than vinyl and shrugs off impact better than standard fiber cement. Many of our Mid County clients move from a SmartSide reside into a matching siding installation in Olivette trim, soffit, and fascia package on the same visit.
LP SmartSide starts as kiln-dried wood strands, gets coated with zinc borate, treated resins, and a waxy water repellent, then hot-pressed into dimensional panels that read like real cedar from the curb. On an Olivette ranch that has lived through sixty winters, that engineered profile matters more than spec-sheet bullets. We measure each elevation, pull a permit through the Department of Planning and Community Development, and demo the failing layer back to clean sheathing so we can spot any rot the old siding hid. Then we install a continuous house-wrap drainage plane, integrate Z-flashing above every door and window, and lay the 76 Series lap with stainless ring-shank nails on 16-inch centers. When the panels go on, we keep a 2-inch clearance off grade and 1 inch above horizontal flashings the way LP specifies, so warranty coverage stays intact through Missouri summers. If a panel ever splits from a falling limb off a Stacy Park oak, we color-match and replace it, or step you into siding repair in Olivette on the same line item.
Every Olivette reside follows the same five steps, whether the home is a 1958 Oak Estates ranch or a recent infill build off Price Road. Here is exactly what happens from the first walk-around to the final caulk-and-paint touch-up.
I walk the full perimeter, photograph every elevation, and probe trim and fascia. You get a written scope the same day with panel counts and color swatches. No pressure pitch.
We file the Olivette building permit with Planning and Community Development that week. Your order locks the 76 Series profile and finish color. Lead time is ten to fourteen days.
Crews strip the old vinyl, aluminum, or Masonite back to clean OSB sheathing. Any rotten boards get cut out before fresh house wrap goes up. We protect plants and walkways daily.
We hang the 16-foot SmartSide lap on 16-inch centers with stainless ring-shank nails. Z-flashing tucks above each door, window, and band board. Caulk lines stay tooled and clean.
The Olivette inspector signs off on the permit, and I walk every elevation with you. We touch up nail heads, recaulk any gaps, and hand over the LP SmartSide warranty paperwork.
Olivette homeowners ask us why we are the right crew for a SmartSide reside, and the honest answer is that we work inside the 63132 city limits enough to know which subdivisions still carry original Masonite and which carry hand-replaced vinyl from the early nineties. As a James Hardie Alliance Program Member and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor with an A+ BBB rating, we install premium cladding for a living, not as a sideline tucked behind roof work.
The crew that shows up on your driveway is the same five-person team that finished the last reside two streets over in Oak Estates. We pull the Olivette building permit, schedule the city inspection, and hand you the signed final card the day we wrap. Insurance carriers after the April 2014 EF1 tornado near N. McKnight Road still fund wind-damage siding claims in this corridor, and we document every panel for your adjuster from day one. Call (314) 618-8888.
LP SmartSide runs eight to fifteen dollars per square foot installed in Olivette, which puts a full reside on a 2,000-square-foot ranch in the sixteen-to-thirty-thousand-dollar range. The variables that move that number are tear-off complexity, rotten sheathing replacement, trim package upgrades, and whether you choose pre-finished ExpertFinish or a factory-primed panel painted on site after install. Color and trim choices matter more than people expect.
A typical Olivette Cape Cod with one detached garage, ColorPlus-style ExpertFinish on the body, and matching SmartSide trim around windows lands near twenty-two thousand dollars all-in. We offer Hearth and GreenSky financing, a 36-month workmanship warranty, and an LP manufacturer warranty up to fifty years on the cladding itself. Most jobs wrap in five to eight working days, weather permitting. Compare that to a quick fiber cement siding in Olivette quote.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
