One of the choices that really sets your new Taber home apart is the exterior siding. Homes by Taber uses LP SmartSide® siding because it combines the natural beauty of wood with the strength to resist weather, impact, and pests—something vinyl siding options and fiber cement options can’t match. It’s low-maintenance, backed by up to a 50-year warranty, and engineered from renewable, responsibly sourced wood, making it a durable and sustainable choice for your new home. Not only is LP SmartSide the industry leader when it comes to quality, but it also allows us to create visually appealing streetscapes for your new home community, and it allows homeowners to match their home to their style with paint colors and siding styles.
First, LP SmartSide gives you the warm, authentic look of real wood, but with the consistency and clean lines of an engineered product. That means your home has timeless curb appeal—without the warping or uneven look that can happen with natural wood.
Unlike vinyl siding, which can crack in the cold or fade over time, or fiber cement, which can be heavy and brittle in the elements, LP SmartSide is built to resist impact, hail, and everyday wear. It’s treated with a special SmartGuard® process that helps protect against termites, rot, and fungal decay—so it holds up in the Oklahoma climate.
Because it’s engineered, it requires less upkeep than traditional wood. Traditional wood requires more maintenance and replacement due to the warping and rotting that occurs when in the elements. Think about a real wood fence and how often touchups and board replacement need to occur. With LP SmartSide, you’ll spend less time repainting, repairing, or worrying about your siding, and more time enjoying your home.
LP SmartSide comes with one of the best warranties in the industry—up to 50 years of coverage. That’s a level of protection you won’t usually see with vinyl or traditional wood products.
Another big plus is sustainability. LP SmartSide is made from fast-growing, renewable wood sourced through responsible forestry practices. That means fewer raw resources are needed compared to fiber cement, and it has a lower environmental impact than vinyl. 99% of the log is used in the making of this smart siding. So, you get a home exterior that’s not only tough, but also better for the planet.
In short, you’re getting the beauty of real wood, the strength to withstand weather and daily life, and the peace of mind that your investment is protected for decades. It’s one of the reasons our homes are designed to look great and last long.
