Materials

At Helmuth Builders, we are committed to using only the best materials to ensure every structure we build is strong, reliable, and beautiful. That’s why LP SmartSide comes standard on all our storage sheds. This state-of-the-art SmartGuard Siding combines the authentic appearance of real wood with modern enhancements to deliver unparalleled performance. Engineered for outstanding strength and durability, LP SmartSide resists the common pitfalls of traditional wood siding, such as knots, cupping, and warping. Each panel is factory pre-primed to ensure consistent application and optimal paint adhesion, making it a low-maintenance, long-lasting choice.

LP SmartSide is fortified with a zinc borate compound throughout the substrate, which actively protects against fungal decay and termite damage. Rigorous testing in both laboratory and real-world conditions for over a decade has proven its ability to withstand the harshest environments, including extreme heat, cold, humidity, and heavy rainfall. With LP SmartSide, your structure is built to handle whatever nature throws its way, while maintaining its elegant and timeless look.

In addition to LP SmartSide, we also offer a variety of siding options to help you customize your structure to match your style and functional needs:

• LP Board & Batten Siding: Classic vertical siding for a timeless, rustic aesthetic.
• LP Lap Siding: Horizontal planks with clean lines for a modern and sleek appearance.
• Vinyl Siding: A low-maintenance, cost-effective option available in a wide range of colors.
